2020 is finally coming to an end. For many people that means their benefits start over in the new year and if you haven’t used up all of your benefits for 2020, they will not roll over to next year. So, if you need covered services (massage therapy, physiotherapy, athletic therapy, chiropractic, orthotics, etc) and have unused benefits, you may want to use them up before the end of the year.

Physiotherapy is a contact sport Dealing with complicated surgeries and restrictions such as scar tissue (the real kind) and muscle tone, requires an active approach to care. Combined with a strong home exercise program and good communication, getting into the thick of it with a patient is what spells success. ... This patient has had extensive reconstruction of the knee. The significant scar tissue has slowed his progress but with his determination (and motivation) we will avoid any further surgical intervention. #surgery #kneesurgery #osteotomy #athlete #soccer #football #basketball #gym #strength #rangeofmotion #kneepain #kneerehab #sportsmedicine #sports #sportsmed #physiotherapy #physicaltherapy #physio #sheddon #sheddonphysio

Stretching after workout Generally the thing we skip The thing we need the most ... Stretching helps after workout to lengthen tissue and prevent cramping.

PUSH-UPS - Great post by @noexcusescommunity With all the push up challenges...now is the time to learn proper form ... The push-up is one of the most effective body weight exercise for the chest, triceps, shoulders and even the core. - It can be performed anywhere without a single piece of equipment. - There are also countless variations of the push-up, but the textbook push-up set up is as shown above. - Your hands should be slightly wider than shoulder width, and below the plane of your shoulders, around the middle of your pecs. This will ensure that your chest, shoulders and triceps are worked evenly and help you engage all of the muscle groups. - Also, if you experience pain on your wrists, I would place the pressure on the outside of your hands instead of the bottom of your hand. The outside of the hand is very strong and stable and will allow you to prevent any wrist pains. - - - - #musclebuilding #physiotherapy #pushday #pushup #squat #pushday #quads #hamstrings #neckpain #fitness #wod #flexibility #physicaltherapy #yogi #bodybuilding #sportsphysio #rotatorcuff #shoulderpain #hypertrophy #shoulderworkout #workout #pushupchallenge #physio #sportsmedicine #sheddon #mobility #fitfam @ Sheddon Physiotherapy and Sports Clinic See more

Getting stronger Squatting PART 2 <<<>>> Work out your Get stronger and more importantly... Help you knees and your back out. BONUS: no gym requirements. *** There are many variations of a squat. Here we continue the progressions. 4. Bodyweight Squat This is now a full squat! With your arms forward, keep your weight on your heels and sit back with your hips as if you are sitting into the imaginary chair again. Try not to let your knees come too far forward, and instead focus on sitting backwards. You do not need to go all the way down, but try for at least 90 degrees. 5. Single Leg (Pistol) Squat This final variation is for experienced squatters only. You should have no lower body injuries and not be a risk for falls if you attempt this. On your right leg only, keep your left leg straight and arms in front of you. Sit your hips back and try to keep your balance. If this is your first time trying, you can use a doorframe or hockey stick to keep your balance. Let us know how it goes! Questions about your squatting form or curious about which one is best for you? We are offering virtual physio sessions to ensure you are not left alone during this time.

Everybody can get stronger! PART 1 <<<>>> There is no better bang for your buck than the SQUAT This post outlines ways to do this essential exercise in the comfort of your home. ... *** Squatting works all the major muscles in your lower body - quadriceps, glutes and hamstrings. It is a functional movement that can provide muscle building benefits for all. *** There are many variations of a squat. Whether you are new to strengthening, have "bad knees", are recovering from an injury, or a high level athlete there is a variation of a squat that would likely provide you with benefit. *** Here’s a progression of squatting from easiest to hardest. 1. The 1/4 Squat This is the intro to squatting. To do this movement, begin with feet shoulder width apart, hold on to a table or counter and push your hips back as if you are doing the first portion of sitting back into an imaginary chair. Your knees should not cross your toes. It is called a "Quarter Squat" because you should imagine you are sitting a quarter of the way down. This is most beneficial for people who may have knee problems, are at risk of falling, or have not participated in physical activity for an extended period of time 2. The Wall Squat This variation allows you to squat at a depth that you are comfortable with. Up against a wall, let your hips slide down the wall while staying planted through your feet. Stop when you begin to feel tension in the front of your thighs. Try to hold this one for 10-60 seconds. Feel the burn! 3. Sit to Stand Squat This variation takes you through the whole squatting motion, but provides a nice safety net at the bottom if you need a rest. Keep your arms crossed and use your legs to get you up and out of the chair. Take breaks as needed and make sure your hips don't miss the chair!

OsgoodSchlatter disease (OSD) ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW . The primary cause seems to be the continuous stress applied from the patellar tendon to its insertion at the tibial tubercle, resulting in a traction apophysitis. .... Children and adolescents who partake in various sports such as basketball, volleyball and soccer are all at an increased risk for presenting with OSD. . The evaluation should be based on clinical examination. imaging is only required in order to to rule out other conditions. . In most cases conservative management will result in resolution of the symptoms. . Surgical treatment should be reserved for those with persistent pain after physeal closure is complete. . Effective strategies to reduce the possibility of appearance of OCD include regular and welldeveloped S&C programs that take into account each individual needs and optimal load management strategies.

The McKenzie Method (Helping you Help yourself) Tag Someone that needs treat themselves. Yes call them out. ... Every patient should know that they play an important role in their own treatment, recovery, and prevention of injury! A treatment plan that relies on education and focuses on self-treatment will provide you with the best results in the long-term. The McKenzie Method of assessment and treatment focuses on taking a thorough history and assessment of repeated movements in order to develop a classification of the injury and to provide the appropriate education and management strategies. This method can apply to acute and chronic issues of the neck, back, and extremities (arms and legs) and uses strategies that promote the body's ability to heal itself.

Starting the day with some foam rolling?? Here are some things to think about. - FOAM ROLLING: What is foam rolling .... You may of heard the term Myofascial Release- this is the thought of self massaging a muscle or area to cause an increase in range of motion, break down "adhesions" or "knots", or decrease the amount of pain in an area. . But laying on a foam roller does change muscle tissue right . Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but there have been no studies to date that have shown to cause change in soft tissue . If you find one please share and maybe I'll change my opinion! One study done by Chaudry H, et al 2008 showed that it takes 400kg-900kg (880lb-1,980lb) of mass to influence the fascia by just 1%, JUST 1% . Now I know what you're thinking, then what's the point Foam rolling does do something! . Foam rolling can give you a neurological change response! The type of "feeling good" response you get right after you foam roll or get a massage If you're foam rolling or applying pressure to a certain area, it tells the brain to reduce tone of a muscle in that certain area, leading to a short decrease in pain and a possible increase in ROM (range of motion) but for a short time it’s what’s done after you foam roll that will create a longer response . I'm NOT throwing shade at foam rolling , and I feel like it works (neurologically not mechanically) but pay attention to what you’re doing immediately after you foam roll, it’s peanut butter to the jelly . Tag a friend you know this might help! #foamroller #posture #posturecorrection #pain #ergonomics #fitness #fitfam #telehealth #health #physiotherapy #sports #sportsmassage #sportmedicine #sportphysio #sheddon #sheddonphysio #oakville #milton #burlington @ Sheddon Physiotherapy and Sports Clinic

Following up on my our last post, Who here gets enough sleep?? . @bigleagueperformandrehab had this perfectly timed post about maintaining good sleep hygiene! . It’s so easy being under quarantine to get out of your good habits, stay up late, wake up late, etc. it’s also easy with the increased amount of stress/anxiety to have difficulty falling asleep. We want to make sure that you’re still getting a good amount of quality sleep. Whether you realize it or not, one day, you...’re going to get out of the house and back to your *somewhat normal life! . There’s evidence available showing that sleep and pain are connected, and that sleep impairments are a reliable predictor of new incidents and exacerbations of chronic pain. . When you hear the phrase treat the patient, not the injury, this is part of what they mean. We know enough now that it’s not always just a shoulder injury, and that other factors such a sleep, diet, and stress can play a role in pain as well as recovery. . This is something I like to address with many of my patients on the 1st visit, I usually ask them to track their sleep and shoot for 7.5 hours for 3 consecutive nights and see how they feel after that. Often times it’s not necessarily going to fix anything, but they’ll notice an increase in energy and with that can come less stress, increased ability to exercise and down the road, less pain! . Try out the suggestions on the photos to get a better night sleep! Looking for advice?

**TREAT YOURSELF** We are all spending more time indoors As a result we are sitting, and, slouching more. ... This next post has its roots in MANY of our TELEHEALTH meetings with patients. It keeps coming up so we need to address it to everyone. Sitting on our devices, in front of the television or at a makeshift work station will cause issues. MOTION IS LOTION You need to get up and move to protect and strengthen your BACK throughout the day. One of the most common causes of low back pain is poor posture, especially poor sitting posture. with more of the back in a forward bend (C-shape), it overstretches the ligaments and the disc causing negative effects. HOW DO I IMPROVE THIS? Maintain lordosis (SIT TALL-ARCH BACK) in your low back when sitting What's the 'sweet spot'? Sit and allow your back to slump forward, then sit as tall as you can. Then relax (a little) and find a neutral position between these two. A rolled towel in the small of your back can help **most chairs offer inadequate support** Do about 10 repetitions of this correction every 20 to 30 min of sitting. Also GET UP AND STRETCH AND THEN WALK Regular breaks are ESSENTIAL for back health Cred: @beth.truedell #ergonomics #lowbackpain #lowbackpainrelief @mckenzieinstituteinternational #treatyourself #treatyourownback #MDT #sittingpretty #motionislotion #sheddon #sheddonphysio #telehealth #fitness #oakville #milton #burlington @ Sheddon Physiotherapy and Sports Clinic

With many changes these last few weeks, one thing that has suddenly increased has been the number of people working from home. Since this transition, is your arrangement going to injure you or can you improve? ... Maintain good posture (chest tall) Adjust your monitor height so that it is eye level and arms length apart. Every so often, stand up and walk around your chair to break the habit. Make sure your keyboard and mouse are close to you so that you are not reaching and straining your shoulder and arms. Adjust your desk and seat height so that your arm sit comfortably on your desk and your feet are not dangling off the floor. In certain cases, if your desk height is not adjustable and your feet still dangle off the ground, place something underneath your feet to get a good chair if possible Don’t lie in bed to work, you’ll regret it Bad posture leads to back and neck pain. It can also lead to wrist and nerve pain. It is important to be aware of your body and any pain that starts. Our therapists can help you organize your seating and posture through a telehealth visit. It is an easy option in the best way to make a home program truly customizable to your home. link in bio #ergonomics #seating #neckpain #backpain #physiotherapy #physio #sportsphysio #sportschiropractic #sportsmedicine #sheddon #sheddonphysio #telehealth #telehealthcare #oakville #milton #burlington @ Sheddon Physiotherapy and Sports Clinic

There are minimal cases in Halton region and NONE at our clinic. We want to keep it that way! This is how we feel we can make a difference in the community. ... Stay tuned for further information. We wish everyone a healthy and safe 2 weeks ahead. We will be reaching out for guidance you may need. See more

Protecting each other At Sheddon we have always practiced in an atmosphere which is hygienic and healthy. During these unprecedented times, we will continue to do so but in a heightened form in an abundance of caution. ... -Removing magazines -Minimizing patient to patient contact -Screening patients who are unwell or have recently travelled -A flexible cancelation policy -Increased cleaning with bleach These are just a few of the ways our clinic is working to allow our patients to attend Physiotherapy and do so feeling safe.

Why is a Baseline helpful? Why are some concussion clinics not properly protecting their patients? Many protocols for return to play involve relying on an athlete to self-report their symptoms. If the symptoms have gone away, the athlete will be cleared through various stages until achieving full return. It is important to understand that symptomatic recovery does not indicate brain recovery! ... Take the example of a broken armif you break your arm, it hurts! You go to the hospital and they put a cast on it. The pain from that fracture will actually go away within a week or two. Does this mean that you can cut off your cast and go play? NO! The bone underneath has not sufficiently healed and returning to play now puts you at a risk for breaking it againand potentially in a much worse way! In order to be cleared from your broken arm, doctors will continually take X-rays of your arm until the bone has healed to a sufficient degree that your cast can come off (usually about 4-6 weeks). Concussion behaves the same way! In most cases, the symptoms of concussion will go away within 1-2 weeks, however recovery of the brain to a safe level requires at least 3-6 weeks. Unfortunately, with concussion, we don’t have X-rays, or MRIs that can see a concussion or tell you when you have recovered. The best tools we currently have are relying on physical exertion testing as well as a good battery of pre-injury baseline tests! (note: a SCAT test is insufficient by itself! A computer test is useless on its own! - You need a multitude of tests that test a variety of areas!) @completeconcussions #concussionrecovery #concussion #concussions #concussioncare #brainhealth #brain #sportsmedicine #sportsphysiotherapy #sportsphysio #sheddon #sheddonphysio See more

How do you run your return to learn/return to play process? Return to learn is a relatively new concept. There are a few ways to coordinate the return to learn and return to play processes. The first way is that you can run them concurrently. This creates a situation where an athlete may be on step 3 of return to play but on step 4 of return to learn at the same time. The issue with this method is that you technically could have an athlete that is back playing sport...s but is conveniently not able to go to school. The second method is to put your return-to-learn steps in front of your return-to-play steps. According to a systematic review by Davis et al., 2017, which informed the Berlin Consensus, Children & adolescents should not return to sport until they have successfully returned to school. This is the preferred method that Complete Concussion Management uses with all of our student athletes! . . . . . . . . . .

EXERCISE IS MEDICINE This if only one study posted by @g.physio but there are tons more demonstrating the same thing! . The WHO’s recent guidelines have also recognised that higher levels of physical fitness may reduce breast cancer risk by 20-40%... . Breast cancer survivors on average decreased their post diagnosis activity ~2h/week with only 32% of survivors participating in the recommended level of physical activity (150min moderate to vigorous) (1). . Which is unfortunate as those who increased their physical activity after their diagnosis had a 45% lower risk of death and those who decreased their physical activity had a four fold increased risk of death (2) .

Meniscus Rehab This 2020 review aimed to summarise available evidence regarding rehabilitation phases, goals, outcome measures etc . Most knee rehab for meniscus injuries are similar to ACL injuries. Exceptions include your complex radial or other complex irregular tears take longer to heal... . Now the amount of high quality evidence in this area is limited so take these recommendations with a grain of salt . Phase 1 - aim is to control pain, reduce swelling, improve ROM to full extension and quads function. . Once gait has started to normalise and ROM goals have been achieved progression to phase 2 and starting to regularly load with resistance strength training is done . Restoration of strength upwards to >70% is required before progressing into stage 3 . Here we start introducing agility movements starting them off as low amplitude and progressing them onwards . Skips, shuffles and light jumping can begin with an aim to increase >80% if in surgical limb. Reintroduce demand specific movements as tolerated . Stage 4 is your return to sport or performance where you should see minimal size differences, good dynamic balance, solid scores on hip tests and psychological readiness to return to sport . Now did that sound much different from an ACL rehab? . What are your gems in rehabilitating the meniscus? . Sherman, S. L., DiPaolo, Z. J., Ray, T. E., Sachs, B. M., & Oladeji, L. O. (2020).

Mission Accomplished! A big big thank you! That's a wrap! For the first time ever, we were able to fulfill our mission of providing a gift for every youth in need in our community. Because of the generosity of Oakville residents, businesses and community organizations, we were able to distribute gifts to 4519 local children and youth. Despite Halton region’s reputation as an affluent area, there are many families living in poverty and children and teens living in temporary or... permanent institutional care. The children’s charities, low income housing communities, institutions and group homes we work with, wish to express their gratitude to all the residents, businesses and community groups who donated. SPSC would like to thank everyone who helped this holiday season. See more

With all the push up challenges and now shoulder pain we are treating, here’s a post to protect the shoulders when getting stronger AVOID THIS PUSHUP MISTAKE FIND OUT WHY - ... Helpful post here by Jason showing us the angles of a correct push-up, read what he has to say down below. - "At the bottom of the pushup, you want to have the elbows pretty much stacked directly over the wrists. There’s some wiggle room here depending on how long your arms are, but the more you can stack your elbows over your wrists and create a vertical forearm, the more force you’ll be able to put down into the ground, and the stronger your pushup will be! - Sometimes this can be difficult to achieve when starting from the top of the pushup. If that’s the case for you, try starting by laying prone and placing your hands in the right position to start. - I hope this tip helped you out! Share with a friend who would find it useful! And until next time, Peace, Love, and Muscles!

It is a common misconception that concussions can only be caused by a hit to the head. Research suggests that concussion is the result of acceleration or deceleration of the brain - this can be due to a direct hit to the head... but it can also be a result of a significant hit to the body. . . . .... . . . #concussions #physicaltherapy #choosept #atc #athletictrainer #concussioneducation #concussionrecovery #concussion #concussiontreatment #concussionrehab #PCS #postconcussionsyndrome #PCSsucks #sportsinjury #sportinjury #injuryrecovery #sicknotweak #completeconcussionmanagement #exerciserehab #injuryrehab #sportschiropractic #sportsmedicine #physiotherapist #physio #sportsdoctor #sportsdoc #sportsphysiotherapy @completeconcussions #physiotherapy #physiotherapist #physio #physiohelpslives See more
