Transformation and understanding have been the two key themes this week that have led us, our patients and our physiotherapy students to better results. When it comes to our patients, many of them will reach out when they are struggling with pain and are unable to do all the activities that they enjoy. The first step is to reach out for help and trust our team to deliver sound advice and a personalized treatment plan.... At this point, it becomes our responsibility to understand each persons unique circumstances and adapt our treatment plan accordingly. When it comes to mentoring our students, we have emphasized the importance of developing a true and authentic understanding of why we carry out each element of a physiotherapy session. In recent weeks, they have learned that the key to success in helping others lies in developing a strong rapport with each patient. Once the rapport is established, the understanding comes next. Once we really understand what each person needs, we can offer the best quality personalized care. What has been the end result? We have seen a transformation amongst our students. They are carrying themselves with more confidence and they are investing more time into asking the right questions and connecting with each person that we see. We have also been witnessing more transformations amongst our patients! Their level of trust and engagement is higher than ever and they are committed to doing their part to get better. The best part of this is that the key to our success has been to simply focus on the right things

What is the easiest way to get rid of pain in 2020? Two of my colleagues shared this image with me recently and I had two initial reactions: 1. I laughed because it naturally induced a whole hearted chuckle!... 2. It brought to mind a serious challenge that each person faces when dealing with new or long lasting pain... What should be done when pain strikes first thing in the morning? What treatment is best? What is the best way to get back to normal activities... Everyday, I meet clients seeking out help and guidance to deal with new and long lasting pain. There is one valuable lesson that I have learned over the years: Exercise and active management of pain and discomfort is key! There is no magical pill to cure an injury or eliminate pain. A good therapist offers sound advice, hands on treatment and a pro active exercise based game plan to help manage and overcome pain and discomfort. To officially answer the question: What is the easiest way to get rid of pain in 2020? Seek out sound advice, establish an active exercise based game plan with a licensed therapist and follow through by doing the prescribed exercises

Thats when you have muscle pain up to 48 hours after a good workout, caused by little tears in your muscles, which allows your muscles to grow and become stronger. So, if you stretch after your workout with the hopes of preventing that feeling, youre out of luck! There is however, an alternative. Foam rolling, has been proven to decrease this sensation of soreness after your workout. There are many parts of the body that can foam rolled, and the quads are definitely one of them. Great to do after an intense leg workout! References: Herbert and Gabriel, 2002 & MacDonald et al., 2014

Vous avez probablement dj entendu que lever des poids lorsquon est jeune peut affecter notre croissance. Cest, par contre, un mythe! Les recherches rcentes ont seulement dmontr que les poids STATIQUES peuvent rduire notre production de cellules osseuses lorsque nous sommes en croissance. Mais quand est-ce que nos enfants font a? Lorsquils transportent leur sac dos rempli de livres! Voici quelques conseils pour vous et vos enfants: encouragez votre enfant laisser... leurs gros livres lcole ou la maison, pour quils transportent seulement le minimum. Conseillez votre enfant denlever leur sac dos dans le transport en commun. Finalement, aller chercher votre enfant leur arrt sils ont une longue marche avant dentrer la maison. Gardez en tte que ceci naffecte que les enfants avant la pubert, et que ce nest pas nocif en petite dose. - Ever heard it was bad for children to perform strength training with weights because it can decrease their growth? You probably have. It is however a myth! It was only proven that HIGH STATIC LOADS could impinge matrix synthesis. What does that mean? Holding something heavy for an extended period of time, like heavy books in a backpack can hold back our bones from growing at a normal rate. What do you and your child need to do? Here are a few tips: encourage your child to leave the heavy books at home or at school, and have them carry the minimum. Let your child know to take their bag off their shoulders during their commute on the bus or train or metro. And lastly, pick your child up at the bus stop if they have a long walk to reach your house. Keep in mind this only applies to pre-pubescent children, and that it is not harmful in small doses.

1/3 The 3 BIGGEST MYTHS about low back pain 3 mythes au sujet des douleurs au bas du dos

Communication is a mandatory component in the patient-therapist relationship. It will help build trust, streamline recovery and allow us to treat every aspect of the individual. However, good communication takes time. Ever have that feeling at an appointment where you see the professional for 5 minutes and feel like they did not listen to one thing you said? The more time we have, the more we can exchange with you, the more we can optimize results. We are happy at ARC Rehab to distinguish ourselves by offering more treatment time, which allows us to truly listen, thoroughly explain and educate, and address all your concerns. So come on in and open up to us (if you want - duh), the more you share, the more we can help you!

Say hello to the ARC Rehab team!

This week, we decided to focus on one of our core values: shared accountability. As physiotherapists, we play an integral role in your rehabilitation by treating manually, providing you with exercises and educating you about your condition. But wait a second, thats not all... The patient also has a big role to play (surprised?!). Its all about teamwork where both the therapist and the patient are essential players. Our role is to provide you with the tools and knowledge to ...help you get better. We will help you choose goals and break down how we will achieve them collaboratively. We empower you with knowledge about your condition and how to manage it when you are not in the treatment room. Most importantly, we believe in keeping an open line of communication with our patients and we hope that our patients return the favour to ensure that we are all on the same page! See more
