As we honour National Day for Truth and Reconciliation tomorrow, PARS will be closed on Tuesday, September 30th. It is a good time to highlight the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation which is located in Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada.

For over 150 years, the Canadian government and churches operated residential schools, forcibly removing over 150,000 Indigenous children from their families. These underfunded and overcrowded institutions aimed to assimilate Indigenous children, resulting in widespread physical, sexual, and emotional abuse. The trauma inflicted by these schools continues to impact Indigenous communities today.
In 2009, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC) was established as part of a legal settlement, the Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement between Survivors, the Government of Canada, the Assembly of First Nations and Inuit representatives, and the church bodies that ran residential schools. The TRC heard testimonies from Survivors, their families, communities, and others affected by the residential school system, and issued 94 Calls to Action. (Cont’d in comments)

September 30 is National Truth and Reconciliation Day. This date acknowledges the history of residential schools in Canada and honours the Survivors, their families, and the communities that experience ongoing intergenerational trauma. Understanding our shared history helps to create a more inclusive future and ensures that we remember the legacy of the residential schools.We acknowledge we are gathered on Treaty 1 Territory and that Manitoba is located on the Treaty Territories and ancestral lands of the Anishinaabeg, Anishininewuk, Dakota Oyate, Denesuline and Nehethowuk Nations.
We acknowledge Manitoba is located on the Homeland of the Red River Métis.
We acknowledge northern Manitoba includes lands that were and are the ancestral lands of the Inuit.
We respect the spirit and intent of Treaties and Treaty Making and remain committed to working in partnership with First Nations, Inuit and Métis people in the spirit of truth, reconciliation and collaboration.

tretching! Dynamic? Static? When? How?

So many questions.....We often have patients coming in that spend over an hour stretching per day, and conversely, we have some who are at risk of certain injuries and present with specific needs for stretching related to their rehab.
Stretching can contribute to increased flexibility and ROM, injury prevention, reduced muscle tension, improved daily movement, stress relief and relaxation, and can aid in physical performance.

At the end of the day, in terms of your goals, the impact of stretching (dynamic or static) is based on individual genetics, physical exercise choices, and injury presentation. Here is a little synopsis on the pros and cons of Static vs Dynamic stretching.
Pros and cons of dynamic stretching
Pros
    •    Increases blood flow and heart rate
    •    Improves flexibility and mobility.
    •    Enhances athletic performance.
    •    Reduces risk of injury.
Cons
    •    May not be suitable for everyone, depending on your range of motion or physical ability.
    •    May not fully prepare for high intensity exercise
Pros and cons of static stretching
Pros
    •    Increases flexibility.
    •    Reduces muscle tension.
    •    improves posture
    •    May promote relaxation and stress relief
Cons
    •    May decrease muscle power and performance
    •    May cause overstretching and injury.
    •    May not be effective for warming up.
    •    Not suitable for acute injuries.

Dynamic stretching seems to be optimal before exercise, and more important for high-intensity exercise and athletics.
Static stretching seems to be optimal post-workout and for posture-related presentations.

As is always recommended, ask your clinician what is best for you, and how to approach stretching specific to your needs. If you are struggling with an injury, please reach out to us, we are here to help you with all of your needs and we focus on your specific injury to help you be successful! Call us or book online!

Muscle cramps.....OUCH! (am I right?). They happen, and can happen frequently. The good news is that we can manage them:
Stretch and massage. Stretch the cramped muscle and gently rub it. For a cramp, it’s also best to put that muscle on a stretch. Calf and foot cramps tend to be the most common. Try standing with your weight on your cramped leg and pressing down firmly. This helps ease a cramp in the back of the thigh too (by straightening the knee, which puts the hamstring muscle on a stretch(.
Massagers that you can purchase for use at home can also be beneficial.
Apply heat or cold. Use a warm towel or heating pad on tense or tight muscles. Taking a warm bath or directing a stream of hot water onto the cramped muscle also can help. Rubbing the sore muscle with ice also might relieve pain.
Drink plenty of liquids every day. Muscles need fluids to work well. During activity, drink liquids regularly. Keep drinking water or other liquids without caffeine or alcohol after the activity.
Factors that might increase the risk of muscle cramps include:
Age. Older people lose muscle mass. Then the muscles can’t work as hard and can get stressed more easily.
Poor conditioning. Not being in shape for an activity causes muscles to tire more easily then they respond by cramping.
Extreme sweating. Athletes who get tired and sweat a lot while playing sports in warm weather often get muscle cramps due to loss of electrolytes.
Medical issues. Having diabetes or illnesses that involve nerves, liver or thyroid can increase the risk of muscle cramps.

If you have muscle cramps and are not able to manage them, or they occur on an increasing frequency, please contact your health care provider.
At PARS we are here to help! If you have any nagging pain or injury please reach out to us!

Many patients ask…..what’s up with ice?Is it still indicated?When?How?
Ice is still very commonly used even though there is minimal evidence that it will speed up recovery and reduce pain levels.If you think about it, pain after an injury is normal – it is your body’s way of telling your brain that you’re overloading the tissues.So, it is a helpful message!
However, if pain is a barrier to your recovery and is limiting physical activity, and you have found that applying an ice pack helps, then do it! While there is minimal evidence that ice is beneficial, it does not do any harm either.
Is ice EVER useful? YES! If you have just had surgery, for example, a knee, shoulder, or hip replacement, there is evidence that applying ice in the first 24-48 hours helps to reduce the use of opioids and pain medication.However, this is the only evidence found in current literature in relation to the benefits of using ice for acute tissue injuries.
At the end of the day, using ice initially is still OK, if you find that this helps.However as discussed, while it has no risks associated it will also not help you heal any faster.If you find that using heat instead of ice helps, this is completely fine too!You can try both to see which one works better for you.
So, should we stop using ice?It is not harmful, but there is no evidence that it assists acute soft tissue healing.The bottom line is if it helps you move better and sleep better, then absolutely use ice.
As with any modality, please make sure you have consulted with your physician as ice may be contraindicated in certain populations.For example those with diabetes have decreased or absent sensation in certain areas and care must be taken, so please consult with the appropriate health provider.

Clinical Correlation.....What does that mean?
When we have patients come in with an MRI indicating that they have changes on imaging that indicate what their problem is.....or that is the assumption anyway. Check out this study in Spine. This is the percentage of the population that have these changes on imaging who are ASYMPTOMATIC. When a patient hands me their imaging report, I set it aside, and complete my subjective and physical assessment, allowing me to know what symptoms are present that correlate with the imaging findings. This is then discussed with the patient, reviewing the anatomy and discussing how age related changes are normal, and found frequently in the asymptomatic population. We then discuss our plan and how we are moving forward. Providing education regarding clinical correlation and coming to a physiotherapy diagnosis is paramount during an assessment.
Do not assume that changes on an MRI dictate need for surgery or confirm a degree of disability.
Lean on your clinician to help you understand imaging, clinical correlation, your working diagnosis, and plan of care.

Are you dealing with nagging neck pain? Make an appointment with one of our clinicians at Pan Am Rehab Services! During your assessment, a thorough history of your pain behaviour as well as past medical history will be reviewed. A complete physical assessment of your neck will be next. At this point your physio will discuss their findings and plan of care; this typically includes treatment you will receive in clinic, a home exercise program, and education about how to change how you do certain things at home and work (especially work-from-home). Further visits support the plan of care discussed at your initial assessment and any modifications depending on how your neck/posture is progressing. Since all of us have different demands and activities we want to return to, you and your physio can discuss how you can return to any given exercise in a healthy way!
Come and see us today! We are still open at Pembina until September 12th, then we will consolidate our efforts at 75 Poseidon! Call 204.926.2770 (Poseidon) or 204.925.1030 (Pembina) to book an appointment. Both locations can schedule at either location.

The 2025 World Archery Youth Championships are being held in this year!! We are sharing as it is ‘right outside our back door’ at Grant Park Field! It is a global event held every two years since 1991. The tournament is one of the biggest international archery events, with over 500 competitors at recent editions.
At this outing – the 19th – there are men’s and women’s events in team, mixed team, and individual in both under-18 and under-21 categories, in recurve and compound. Each country may enter up to 24 athletes, with a maximum of three archers in each of the eight categories.
This makes for a total of eight team events, four mixed team events, and eight individual titles up for grabs in Winnipeg, with the finals held over three full days at The Forks venue in the downtown area. It will be a big, public stage to see the next generation of champions.
India were dominant at the last edition in Limerick, Ireland, taking three individual titles and the most medals overall. They will be tested by large teams from Korea, USA, France, Mexico and many more, all looking to make their mark.
Like the Youth Olympics, these championships are a key proving ground for future success. With LA28 just three years away, it is one of the major milestones for youth archers with global ambitions.
Early competition starts at Grant Park Field on Wednesday August 20th, right outside the doors of the Pan Am Clinic! Entry is 10$. You can watch finals coverage live at the Forks from 22-24 August.
