Strength training at home: Working from home has most people working in suboptimal work environments. What we don’t recognize is that that these activities place the body into postural positions that we are unaccustomed to for prolonged periods of time, which can lead to discomfort or worse, the development of a longer standing injury.

Tip of the Day: When walking on ice...think like a penguin Keep your center of gravity over your front leg. When we walk normally on ice, it forces the legs to support the weight at an angle that is not perpendicular to the surface of the ice which results in some nasty falls.

Reposted @langarafalcons "Marc joined the Falcons over 30 years ago to lead the men’s soccer program out of a two-year hiatus. Marc proved that he was up to the challenge and in the early years was, not only building a championship foundation for the program, but simultaneously completing his degree in physiotherapy. Marc has led the team to great success both on and off the field. Marc’s dedication to his craft leaves a lasting impression on the many student athletes he has... coached. "Marc taught me what it took to succeed as a student. In my first year he was finishing his last year studying physiotherapy. He studied hard on our road trips," said former Falcon and team captain from Coach Rizzardo’s first recruiting class in 1986, Mark Bragagnolo. "He was an incredible mentor to me, keeping me grounded while I was at Langara. I consider him a great role model, someone I look up to. He taught me coaching skills that I apply today when I coach my teams." Please join us in celebrating Marc’s 30 years of coaching at Langara by donating to help build the award established in his name, the Marc Rizzardo Athletic Scholarship. This award is designated to recognize student athletes for their athletic achievements. All donations received by December 15th will be matched by the Langara College Foundation, doubling your impact. Help us celebrate Marc’s 30 years by supporting student athletes link in our bio to donate, send your congratulations, and catch a great video on Marc’s impact. #GoFalconsGo" Link - https://langara.ca//find-a-project/Marc-Rizzardo/index.html

With more and more people now working from home it’s so important to pay attention to your posture. Are you slouching over your laptop? Are you sitting with your legs crossed? Here are some tips to avoid pains and strains; 1. Support you back - adjust your chair so that your lower back is properly supported. Your knees should be slightly lower than your hips. 2. Adjust your chair - adjust your chair height so you can use the keyboard with your wrists and forearms straig...ht and level with the floor. Your elbows should be by the side of your body so your arm forms an L-shape at the elbow joint 3. Rest your feet - place your feet flat on the floor, do not cross your legs as this leads to posture related problems. 4. Screen - place your screen at eye level 5. Take breaks - get up and move around every so often to give your muscles a chance to relax Book your next Physio or RMT appointment at Burnaby’s top ranked Physiotherapy clinic #metrotownphysio #physiotherapy #physiotherapist #physio #physiolife #recovery #wellness #healthylifestyle #health #massagetherapy #selfcare #massagelife #massagetherapist #shockwavetherapy #shockwave #orthotics #foothealth #posture #backpainrelief #treatment #deeptissuemassage #sportsmassage #workfromhome See more
