Staff Spotlight: Meet Roman! "As part of our winter activities we tried to spend as many good warm winter days outside. Prior to the polar vortex we were able to take a few hikes. We explored the Wedgewood Ravine and took a walk on a frozen Astontin Lake at Elk Island National Park. The kids have been enjoying learning to ski and we have been trying hard to get to turn better instead of bombing down the hill. I'm just thankful for the helmets." #yegfit #yeghealth #yegphysicaltherapy #yegphysio #yeglocal #stayhealthy #yegphysiotherapy #workfromhome #getmoving #fitness #nutrition #getoutside #physiotherapy #personaltraining #movement

Today is World Health Day and this year's theme shines a light on giving people access to healthcare without the prospect of financial hardship. The @WHO has followed countless studies and found that countries which invest in providing access to healthcare for all not only improve health and life expectancy, but also protects countries from epidemics, reduces poverty and the risk of hunger, creates jobs, drives economic growth and enhances gender equality. It's quite the ide...al to push towards but ought to be celebrated as much as any other day on our calendar! #yegfit #yeghealth #yegphysicaltherapy #yegphysio #yeglocal #stayhealthy #yegphysiotherapy #workfromhome #getmoving #fitness #nutrition #getoutside #physiotherapy #personaltraining #movement

Whether you're a thrill-seeker in the backcountry or a weekend warrior enjoying the fresh air and powdery snow on a blue run, it's a good idea to stretch before a ski day to prevent muscle injury! Here are a few pre-ski movements that can get you ready to get the most of your ski day: 30 squats 1 minute hamstring stretch (hold 30 seconds, 2 times each side) 1 minute quad stretch (hold 30 seconds, 2 times each side)... 1 minute calf stretch (hold 30 seconds, 2 times each side) #yegfit #yeghealth #yegphysicaltherapy #yegphysio #yeglocal #stayhealthy #yegphysiotherapy #workfromhome #getmoving #fitness #nutrition #getoutside #physiotherapy #snow #skiing

Important update for all our patients! Currently physical therapy is NOT part of the new restrictions and closures. We want to reassure our patients that the clinic is going above and beyond in order to keep a safe work environment as well as treatment centre.... Our staff and patient safety has been our number one priority since our re-opening in May 2020. We urge all patients to cancel appointments if they feel ill or develop ANY of the COVID-19 symptoms. We will continue with our diligent care of the clinic and patients. We kindly ask that patients also do their part in protecting themselves as well as the people around them. #staysafe See more

Our main goal at the clinic since reopening in May has always been the health and safety of those entering our facilities and more importantly making them feel safe when coming for treatment. We have learned a lot since March of this year and we continue to follow AHS guidelines as well as the guidelines and protocols given to us by the College of Physical Therapy. With the news from yesterday’s update from the Government of Alberta we want to reassure patients that we a...re still practicing our clinic protocols and ensuring a safe space for patients and staff to enter. If you are feeling unwell, we ask that patients reschedule any appointments they may have All individuals entering our facilities are required to wear a new/unused medical grade mask that the clinic is supplying. Masks must be worn properly for the entire length of time spent in the clinic Diligent hand washing and sanitizing upon entry/exit of the clinic and it’s gym Detailed screening questionnaire at each visit Sanitization of all rooms and equipment after each use Socially distances treatment rooms and waiting area #staysafe #stayhealthy #yegphysicaltherapy

Another question we get asked frequently in the clinic is if we can send patients to get diagnostics (x-rays, ultrasounds, MRI’s, etc) and if we can prescribe medications that will help relieve swelling/inflammation and/or pain. Unfortunate the answer is no. Although we are part of the healthcare community, we don’t have the authority to prescribe any medications or send you for diagnostics. HOWEVER! We can always write you a recommendation letter to give to your doctor o...r surgeon. #yegfit #yegphysio #yegphysicaltherapy #yeglocal #suportlocal #supportsmallbusiness #yeghealth See more
