❄️ Stay Safe in the Snow, West Van! ❄️

Winter weather is here, and with icy sidewalks and snowy roads, it's important to take precautions to prevent injuries. Here are some quick tips to stay safe:

🚶‍♂️ Avoid Slips & Falls:
✔️ Wear footwear with good traction.
✔️ Take small, careful steps—think "penguin walk" on ice!
✔️ Use handrails on stairs and watch for black ice.
✔️ Keep your driveway and walkways clear with salt or sand.

🚗 Drive with Caution:
✔️ Slow down and increase your following distance.
✔️ Avoid sudden braking or sharp turns.
✔️ Check your winter tires and keep an emergency kit in your car.

⛄ Shovel Smarter, Not Harder:
✔️ Warm up before heading outside to prevent muscle strain.
✔️ Push snow instead of lifting when possible.
✔️ Lift with your legs, not your back.
✔️ Take breaks and stay hydrated.

If winter takes a toll on your body—whether from a slip, strain, or stiff muscles—we’re here to help! Our team at Impulse Sport Therapeutics offers chiropractic, massage therapy, and physiotherapy to keep you moving safely all season long.

❄️ Stay safe and take care out there! ❄️

🧠 Protect Your Young Athlete with Baseline Concussion Testing! 🧠

Sports and recreation are a big part of staying active and having fun, but they can also come with risks. Baseline concussion testing is a simple, non-invasive way to safeguard your child’s health. It provides a snapshot of their brain function (memory, reaction time, and balance) while healthy. If they ever experience a concussion, this baseline helps our clinicians assess the severity and guide recovery safely.

At Impulse Sport Therapeutics, our clinicians are experienced in concussion prevention and treatment. We’re proud to offer this valuable service to help young athletes play safely and recover fully if needed.

Who should get baseline testing?
⚽ Athletes aged 10+ in contact or high-risk sports (hockey, soccer, football, etc.)
⛷️ Recreational athletes—skiers, snowboarders, skateboarders, and mountain bikers
🏀 Teens and kids in any sport with a risk of falls or collisions

Did you know?
Coverage for physiotherapy, chiropractic care, and kinesiology through your extended health benefits can be used for this service! Be sure to take advantage before your benefits reset at the end of the year. 📆

Give your young athlete the tools they need to stay safe and recover better. Book your baseline concussion test today—call us or visit our website to schedule. Spots are limited!
