🖤 “Strong” & “Stable.”
This photo was taken by one of our patients.
For years, she didn’t trust her body.
With osteoporosis, exercise felt dangerous — something to avoid, not embrace.
With the right guidance, education, and gradual progression, she learned something powerful:
✨ Her body is capable.
✨ Strengthening can be safe.
✨ Confidence is built, not assumed.
As we head into a new year filled with health and fitness goals, this is your reminder:
You don’t have to be fearless to start — you just need support.
Movement isn’t about lifting the heaviest weight.
It’s about feeling strong, stable, and in control of your body again.
If fear, pain, or a diagnosis has been holding you back, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself. 💛

Let us know how many of you would be happy if your physio could refer you directly for an xray, rather than having to send you back to your GP or the Urgent care? Share your thoughts on why or why not.

In case you missed it! 📰

Do you know the signs and symptoms of a blood clot?

Our clinicians got a visit from Portia, a medical equipment rep from Inari Medical, who taught us all about how to recognize a blood clot, otherwise known as a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and/or pulmonary embolism (PE). 🩺

🩸Recognizing the early signs and symptoms of blood clots can save lives, and it is common for your primary care provider to notice it first! Our clinicians continue to build their knowledge to identify risks and act fast — because early detection makes all the difference. ❤️‍🩹

Say Hello 👋 to our physiotherapist Zoë!

Returning from her years in Ireland, read more about the newest member of our team— now available for booking online! 🇮🇪➡️

Why are you passionate about being a physiotherapist? 🦴🦵
I spent most of my childhood dancing and getting injured! After spending plenty of time in physio clinics myself, I became fascinated by how the body works and how much good physiotherapy can help someone recover. Now, I love being on the other side of it, helping others get back to what they love.

What do you like to do in your spare time? 🎧🏋️‍♀️
When I’m not in the clinic, I love to stay active in the gym, workout classes or outdoors. I’m so happy to be back home in Vancouver spending time with friends and family, and getting to cheer on my sports teams in the proper time zone!

What did you love about studying in Ireland? 🌾📚
I didn’t know anyone when I moved over so it was amazing to form a whole new group of friends and build a life in a new city. It really does feel like a second home after spending four years living there, and I’m so grateful for my time in Ireland!

What inspired you to become a Pilates teacher? 🧦👩‍🏫
I started doing pilates as part of my own rehab. I immediately fell in love with it and decided to become a certified mat instructor to add to my toolkit as a kinesiologist. The first friend I made in my physio course happened to own a pilates studio so I was lucky enough to join their reformer training and eventually join the teacher training team!

What does your perfect fall weekend look like? 🏈🥅🍂
Definitely spending time outside (hopefully it’s not raining), cooking some cozy meals, hopefully watching all my sports teams win (Sunday is definitely all day football and hockey)!

🏖️ Supporting Athletes at the Urban Rec Spanish Banks Beach Blast 🏐

On Saturday, our team volunteered at the Urban Rec Spanish Banks Beach Blast, providing on-site physiotherapy, massage therapy, and kinesiology for participants of the beach volleyball and spikeball tournament.
