Thank you for having Pleasantview Physiotherapy at your Lunch & Learn yesterday @albertabluecross ! We were happy to be able to provide tips and tricks to help avoid desk related injuries. As COVID-19 continues to force us out of our common workplace & into home offices, we have seen a significant increase in desk related injuries among our patients. Having a proper ergonomic set up is very important in preventing these injuries from happening. Invest in a good home office, your body won’t regret it! #alberta #bluecross #albertacanada #albertabluecross #albertainsurance #insurance #health #healthcare #edmonton #homeoffice #office #ergonomics #ergonomic #posture #musculoskeletal #physio #physiotherapy #massage #yeg #yeggers #local #supportlocal #yegdt #edmontonliving #edmontonoilers #lunch #lunchandlearn #learn

The best way to treat any winter injury is to exercise caution to lessen the chances of having an incident When walking on snow and ice, mind your gait and move carefully to control your footing. When you must use icy or slick stairs, use a rail if one is available to avoid falling.

Shockwave therapy (SWT) is a treatment option for chronic injuries that uses a high-intensity soundwave to penetrate the skin and reach the soft tissue Pleasantview Physiotherapy Clinic recommends this therapy to patients who have experienced their chronic injuries for three months or longer. The release of the soundwave’s energy at the treatment site produces a positive healing effect. This non-invasive solution has virtually no side effects and causes rapid healing ... For the therapy process, we use a handheld probe to generate acoustic waves, and we apply these energy pulses to the injured area for short periods. The pulses promote a healing response that also reduces pain. The shockwave’s effect revascularizes the injured area, which improves blood flow, muscle tone recovery, and tissue healing #shockwave #swt #pleasantviewphysio #physiotherapy #physiotherapist #yegphysio #physio #physiotips #giveusacall #wecanhelpyou

Maintaining a well-rounded collection of therapeutic services for our patients involves offering proven-effective methods of healing and pain reduction. Acupuncture is a treatment option originating in China that has been used for centuries. Pleasantview Physiotherapy provides medical acupuncture to our patients because of its ability to relieve pain and speed healing in areas affected by an injury. We have six physical therapists who are all certified by the Acupuncture Fou...ndation of Canada Institute, and they’re registered to use medical acupuncture within their scope of practice with the Physiotherapy Alberta College & Association. Patients have experienced positive results through this treatment option, and we’ve preserved our history of success with various types of chronic and acute injuries since 1983 by providing personalized care for everyone who visits our location #pleasantviewphysio #yegphysio #physiotherapy #physiotherapist #acupuncture #painrelief #painreduction #painmanagement #giveusacall #wecanhelp

Headaches are one of the most common health conditions. Two of the most common are tension headaches (triggered by emotional and physical stress) and neck headaches (caused by an underlying neck issue) Physiotherapy treatment techniques such as manipulation, massage, postural correction, and rehabilitation exercises can help manage some common types of headaches. Physiotherapists can also provide useful advice on how to prevent headaches by modifying everyday habits. #physiotherapy #giveusacall #headaches #tensionheadache #neckpain #migraine #physiotherapist #yegphysio #pleasantviewphysio #myheadhurts

In some cases, neck and back pain is a result of repetitive stresses in the workplace, at home, or during recreational activities. It could also be caused by a sprain of the spinal muscles, joints or ligaments, postural stresses, arthritis, and pressure on a spinal disc causing disc bulging or herniation Neck and back pain are among the most common reasons for #physiotherapy visits. Most spinal pain is caused by mechanical disorders of the spine.

Sleep is a vital component of everyone’s overall health and well-being Getting a good night sleep is important because it enables the body to repair itself to be fit and ready for another day.

No screen time to relax your mind. Take a warm bath or shower to relax the body.

Arthritis is a group of conditions that affect the joints and their surrounding tissues. It is characterized by joint deterioration that results in pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced range of motion. The 2 most common types of arthritis are Osteoarthritis (OA) and at Rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Arthritis may not always be preventable but the amount of joint damage can be minimized and symptoms can be managed. It is important to seek help as early as possible.
