Myth or Fact? "Pelvic floor dysfunction only affects women..." MYTH! Pelvic Floor Dysfunction (PFD) occurs when there is either too much or not enough tension in those muscular structures. Some symptoms include:... incontinence lower back, pelvic and abdominal pain pain prior, during or after sex constipation pressure and spasms in pelvic region PFD is commonly believed to be a female-only, issue, but men are not exempt from it by any means. Shame and embarassment surrounding the symptoms contribute largely to a lack of acknowledgement of PFD in men. In fact, a recent study showed 66% of men were unaware that they needed pelvic floor muscular training - albeit having active and ongoing symptoms of PFD. The symptoms of PFD can be difficult to deal with and uncomfortable to discuss, but luckily, these symptoms can be treated successfully through pelvic floor physiotherapy and pelvic floor osteopathy.

COLD LASER THERAPY What is cold laser (or low-level laser) therapy? Low-level laser (LLL) is a non-invasive and pain-free therapy that dramatically reduces the recovery time from an injury, pain and/or inflammation.... Using photon light, an LLL emits light at a cellular level, which increases blood flow to an affected area, reducing inflammation and healing time. At Electra Health, our LLL has been used effectively to help the following: muscles sprains & strains neck & back pain tendonitis tennis elbow plantar fasciitis And so much more!

Hey you! Yes, you! Stop scrolling for a quick minute + think about how you're sitting or standing for a moment: are your shoulders hunched? Are your legs crossed? Is your back curved? Are you sore or stiff? Poor posture has a massive impact on our health. It can cause chronic pain, headaches and migraines, hip pain, lower back issues and so much more. Bad posture is also associated with poor sleep, negative emotions, moods and low levels of motivation. But don't worry! We are here to help: our osteopath, Thibault Suchaud, is a posturologist -- an expert in the correction + maintenance of good posture. Book in for an appointment with him today! #ElectraHealth

Happy Monday everyone :) If you haven't booked your appointment for the week ahead, give us a call, or book online through our website. #ElectraHealth : @rileythedj / IG

Our Electra Team is growing and we want to give a warm welcome to Mingyu Park, our newest RMT! Min moved to Vancouver from Korea to study English and quickly fell in love with BC's west coast. Here, Min was introduced to massage therapy through a friend. From then on, he knew that massage therapy was what he wanted to do! We sat down with Min to learn a bit more about him! Q: What is your favourite thing about being an RMT?... M: Making changes with your own hands! Because we assess conditions and plan treatments accordingly, it's so cool to witness the changes and progress that your client is making over time! Q: What about working at Electra Health has you particularly excited? M: It is the best place to work! It is one of the largest and most established clinics in downtown Vancouver -- it's such a great opportunity to grow as a practitioner, because I'm working alongside 40+ other experienced practitioners. And, the clients that come through the door are great! Q: Outside of the treatment room, what are some of your favorite things to do? M: I love lifting at the gym and try to work out at least four times a week. And Vancouver is one of the most multi-cultural cities in the world! So, there are so many restaurants around you to try! You can enjoy all kinds of authentic cuisine. Q: What's one fun fact people don't know about you? M: I have a stuffed puppy that I go everywhere with seriously, cannot sleep without it! Q: What's your favourite part about living in Vancouver and BC? M: I think Vancouver has the best summer among all the cities in Canada! Every day is nice and beautiful, which makes you want to go out for a walk. And I love walking around the Seawall, that is my favourite!
