We have the best teammates… so today is unofficially ✨ National Best Co-Workers Day at Spine & Sports ✨

We show up 110% for our patients. 110% engaged. 110% present.

And somehow… we also show up 110% for each other.

In between patients — in those lightning-fast lunchroom power visits — we cover it all:

• a new recipe

• a great restaurant

• a show to binge

• a health concern

• aging parents

• crazy teens & full-throttle kids

• babies, weddings, birthdays & trips

• trendy shoes to buy

• the right jeans to wear

• who hates daylight savings time 😆

• and who’s buying oranges to support the volleyball team 🍊

It’s everything. All at once.

All in 2,000 square feet.

All 10 of us.

Creating a space that’s supportive, safe, and full of connection.

We hope you feel that energy every time you walk through our doors 🩷

Back pain slowing you down? We’ve got you.

It starts with a proper assessment—so we treat the root cause, not just the symptoms.
Physiotherapy helps you move better, feel stronger, and get back to what you love.

✔️ Reduce pain
✔️ Improve mobility
✔️ Build strength
✔️ Prevent it from coming back

Your back deserves better than “just dealing with it.”

Sometimes the best way to understand the impact of something is to hear it from someone who experienced it firsthand. Here's a story from one of our amazing clients.

We’re not going to promise “a fast-paced environment” or “competitive compensation.”

You already know what that means 😉

Instead, here are 5 real reasons physios like working here :

1️⃣ We’ve been doing this for 30 years

Spine & Sports Physiotherapy has been part of the Vernon community since 1995. That means strong referrals, loyal patients, and a full schedule.

2️⃣ The team is genuinely great

5 physiotherapists, a kinesiologist, and an admin team that keeps everything organized so you can focus on treating patients.

3️⃣ We believe in hands-on care

Manual therapy, dry needling, TMJ treatment, vestibular rehab and sports injuries are all part of what we do.

4️⃣ Your schedule can fit your life

Full-time or part-time. Flexible days and hours.

5️⃣ It’s the Okanagan

Ski, bike, hike, paddleboard or golf before or after work.

📍 Vernon, BC

If this sounds like the kind of clinic you’d enjoy working in, we’d love to hear from you.

Low Back Pain? It’s Not Always What You Think.

At Spine & Sports, assessing back pain is a bit like being a detective.
We look at movement, strength, posture, and symptoms to uncover the real cause.

Back pain can come from:

• mechanical back pain
• disc irritation
• nerve compression
• sacroiliac joint dysfunction
• piriformis syndrome

Once we solve the mystery, treatment may include:

✔ manual therapy
✔ soft tissue work
✔ trigger point release
✔ dry needling
✔ strengthening exercises

Find the cause. Treat it properly. Move confidently again.

This International Women’s Day, we’re celebrating the incredible women who make our clinic what it is: compassionate healers, dedicated professionals, and powerful leaders in movement and recovery.
Behind every treatment, every recovery milestone, and every smile is a team of women committed to helping our community move and feel their best.
Here’s to lifting each other up, breaking barriers, and empowering women everywhere — in health, in sport, and in life.

📺 Netflix Knees: When Binge-Watching Bites Back

Ever stood up after a Netflix marathon and thought…
“Why do my knees feel 80 years old?” 😅

Welcome to what we jokingly call “Netflix Knees.” It happens when your knees stay bent and inactive for hours while you’re deep into “just one more episode.”

When you finally stand up you might notice:
• Knee stiffness
• Aching around the kneecap
• Tight hips
• That “rusty hinge” feeling for the first few steps

Why it happens:
Your knees love movement and circulation. Sitting with your knees bent for long periods compresses the joint and tightens surrounding muscles.

The good news?
It’s an easy fix.

Between episodes try this quick movement snack:

✔ Straighten and bend your knees 10 times
✔ Stand up and stretch your hips
✔ Do 10 mini squats
✔ Walk around for 30 seconds

Bonus tip:
When Netflix asks “Are you still watching?”
Take it as your physio reminder to move.

Your knees were built for movement — not a 5-episode marathon.

🎬 Enjoy the show.
🦵 Just give your knees a break between episodes.

HARRY STYLES …has some neck exercises for you !

🎶 That “Aperture” Neck Mobility!

Have you seen the latest performance from Harry Styles?
While the song is catchy, we’re a little distracted by that neck and upper spine range of motion. 🤯

From mic-holding to full-body dancing — that kind of movement takes some serious cervical and thoracic mobility.

Why it matters (even if you’re not performing at the BRIT Awards):

👉 Better range – keeps desk-neck stiffness away
👉 Smoother movement – neck and upper back working together
👉 Life-ready joints – maybe not stage dancing… but definitely everyday living

Try this quick mobility routine (30 sec each):

1️⃣ Slow look side-to-side
2️⃣ Look up → look down (ceiling to chest)
3️⃣ Upper trap stretch – ear gently toward shoulder

Then DANCE !

💙 thanks Harry !

Blur the line between work and play.

Imagine coming to work and actually looking forward to it.

We’re recruiting a team member who wants to grow, collaborate, and enjoy the day alongside talented, kind, and supportive therapists.

We work hard.
We laugh often.
We take patient care seriously — but not ourselves.

Sound like your kind of place?

Today our physio team wore pink in support of Pink Shirt Day 💗
Kindness is powerful. Kindness heals.
Let’s lift each other up — in the clinic and in our community.
