Integrate
102 Lewis Street K2P0S7 Ottawa, ON, Canada

Joanna, one of our PT’s at Integrate, chose the supraspinatus as her favourite muscle! She says: My favourite muscle in the body is the supraspinatus. This muscle is part of your rotator cuff; it starts off on the top section of your shoulder blade and it attaches on the top section of your arm bone. This is my favourite muscle because even though it is quite small it is extremely important to maintain proper shoulder mobility. It is one of the most commonly injured muscles... in the shoulder. Stay tuned for some videos on how we can stretch this muscle, featuring Joanna herself

PRE: Thursday's from 12-1pm. Appropriate for any stage of pregnancy, from 1st to 3rd trimester. POST: Tuesday's from 1-2pm. Appropriate for anyone who is 6 weeks to 6+ years postpartum.

A New Year is a great opportunity for doing some self reflection and identifying areas of desired personal growth and improvement! Your resolutions don’t have to be the prototypical eat healthier, exercise more, etc. (though these goals are great if they are coming from a place of self love and getting healthier/stronger)! Focus your reflection internally and find things that YOU truly want to achieve for YOURSELF.

On the sixth day of Integrate our clinic gave to you... Pilates and yoga classes to get you moving and strengthening, lengthening, and toning your muscles

Did you know inflammation is one of the mechanisms our body has to heal damaged tissue? While this can be beneficial in the short-term, chronic inflammation can be painful and counterproductive. Signs of Inflammation *Improves with activity *Morning stiffness lasting more than 30 minutes... *Worsens with prolonged positions or rest *Night pain *Can improve with anti-inflammatory medication such as Advil What can you do if you are having pain related to an inflammatory component? 1 Movement breaks: start getting up more often to break up being in the same position for too long 2Gradual return to exercise: whether it be walking, biking, yoga etc. use your pain tolerance as a guide during and after activity 3Ice or heat: 10 minutes at a time for temporary relief in symptoms Inspired by: @physionetwork

Goodbye 2020 Here’s to a year of resilience, love, and connectedness - qualities that have proven to be extremely important as we continue to live through these strange times. We hope you all ring in the new year safely! Posting a bit early because we don’t know if we will make it to 12 am

Muscle Series #2 Megan’s pick: Gluteus Medius! She says,... I like this muscle because it is very important for hip stabilization in single-leg movements. Also, it’s weakness is a repetitive theme in back pain and knee pain, so it is a great way to demonstrate the interconnectedness of our body! It is located at the lateral hip between the anterior and posterior gluteal lines, inserting into the greater trochanter. Don’t confuse it with the gluteus maximus! local-physio.co.uk
