Did you that many of our physiotherapists offer dry needling? Physiotherapists use dry needling to create effects in the musculoskeletal system that can improve your function and alleviate pain.

Our practitioner spotlight this week is on Alex! .adventure.physio is both a talented practitioner, and an absolute pleasure to work with.

Physiotherapists are movement specialists trained to help you optimize movement, recover from injury and participate in activity regardless of your age and physical limitations.

We are so grateful to have Joel Goullet on our team of Osteopathic Manual Therapists.

We want to take a moment to highlight one of our talented osteopathic manual therapists, Sam Noble.

Our team can help you.

So grateful to every Google Review, but this one is up there for us! We work so hard to create a space that is values-led, safe for all and a positive impact on society. We stand up for what we believe in because it’s the right thing to do, not for the praise of doing so. This post is not about praise for us, but about pride (on multiple layers).
Proud of this brand, of the brilliant humans that call it their work and of the clients that trust us with their care.
The work continues to be even better, but today I will celebrate this as a win!

HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR SLEEP? 😴

Healthy sleep habits are the foundation of quality sleep, but sometimes a quick fix is needed.
Here are some strategies to help you slip into sleep when you’re desperately staring at the ceiling in the middle of the night.

1️⃣ Progressive Muscle Relaxation
If you’re in bed and having trouble falling asleep, your body can become very tense. Progressive muscle relaxation can help relieve this tension. It also keeps your mind occupied by distracting you from stressful thoughts.

2️⃣ Cognitive Redesign
This strategy, invented by cognitive scientist Dr. Luc Beaudoin, makes your mind too busy to think about the things that are stressing you out, but not busy enough to keep you fully awake.

3️⃣ Abdominal Breathing
If you are experiencing anxiety while trying to fall asleep, breathing can help. The simple act of focusing on your breathing can help relax your mind, and deep breaths can stimulate your parasympathetic nervous system, which has a calming effect.

Join us in welcoming Stephanie Tsia (she/her) to our clinic!

From her bio:
“Growing up, sports played a huge role in Steph’s life. As a competitive swimmer, runner, and triathlete, she came to recognize how much it meant to have your body perform for you and how devastating it could be if it didn’t. Unfortunately, after sustaining an injury herself, Steph experienced that very devastation. Thankfully, she was surrounded by a strong team of coaches, healthcare professionals, and teammates that greatly aided her recovery. It was at that moment Steph realized she too wanted to be able to play a pivotal role in shaping others’ recovery and thus, was inspired to pursue a path towards physiotherapy. Steph received her Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology at the University of Calgary and subsequently, her Masters of Science in Physical Therapy at the University of Alberta. Adjunct to her academic career, she worked as a personal trainer and fitness instructor.

She also closely worked with triathletes as an Exercise Physiologist and Strength and Conditioning intern. Outside of the clinic, Steph seeks adventure wherever she can find it. You can probably find her trekking through the backcountry, running through the trails, or 60 feet off the ground at her favourite climbing gym.”

Stephanie is here with us Wednesday through Friday:

Wednesday 7:30am to 1:45pm
Thursday 2:45pm to 8:00pm
Friday 12:30pm to 5:00pm
