A great post by @physionetwork The body does a phenomenal job at recovery and should be paired with the right rehab tools based on tissue healing timelines to ensure optimal recovery! Rehab Phases Rehab can be broken up into progressive structured phases with specific targets for each phase, and exit criteria to guide progression onto the next stage This helps ensure progression through rehab is based on functional milestones, and is not just time-based It also help...s ensure the athlete doesn’t return to sport too early, which can leave them at a high risk of both re-injury, and of underperforming This excellent table is from Lachlan Wilmot’s lecture on What physios should know about strength & conditioning. Even though we are learning more and more about the importance of exercise as a tool for rehabilitation, exercise prescription is barely touched on in most physio degrees! In this lecture, Lachlan Wilmot takes you through a progressive exercise rehabilitation system to help you return your patients not only back to play, but back to full performance. #yeg #yegphysio #yegphysicaltherapy #yeglift #yeghealthandwellness #yeghealth #yegathlete #edmontonlife #edmontonathlete #stalbert #stalbertphysio #stalbertfitness #physicaltherapy #physio #edmonton

Meet Jori. It was so wonderful to have physiotherapy student @jorivictoor join us for her first clinical placement. She was described by her patients as having the warmest and gentlest hands of all. It was so fun to have her join our team for her placement. We love when students jump right in and aren’t afraid with pushing their comfort zone in order to help patients get better. Jori believes in 1 on 1 time with her patients to listen to individual concerns in order to stru...cture the right treatment plan. She’s gonna be great as a future physio! Good luck with the rest of your studies, Jori! - your team at ASM #yeg #yegphysio #yegphysicaltherapy #yeglift #yeghealthandwellness #yeghealth #yegathlete #edmontonlife #edmontonathlete #stalbert #stalbertphysio #stalbertfitness #physicaltherapy #physio #edmonton #ualbertastudents #ualberta
