Collaboration! Learning and Growing Together!👐

At Momentum Health, we believe that collaboration is important for our patients and our own development. That's why we are always eager to learn from each other and work together to improve our skills and knowledge. 💡

Recently, Brad Fujimoto, DC, Leah Bonli, PT and Chantelle Poelstra, PT explored techniques for treating temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction in Creekside. By sharing their expertise and experiences, they were able to deepen their understanding of TMJ therapy and enhance their ability to provide effective treatments for our patients. 🦷

Collaborative learning sessions like these not only benefit our practitioners but also translate into better outcomes for you, our valued patients. When our team works together, we're able to leverage each other's strengths and perspectives to develop comprehensive treatment plans tailored to your unique needs.💪

We're proud to foster a culture of collaboration and continuous learning at Creekside and all of our clinics, because we know that when our practitioners grow, our patients thrive. 💙

MS is a very individualized, challenging disease. Different symptoms and progression are common for each person diagnosed.

When we read about this story, it's hard to hear about anyone needing to stop what they love, however when we treat individuals with MS we have to be aware of the types of exercise that we prescribe, to limit them from having to stop their activities.

Gradual exercise programs with the right amount of load and rest can often help individuals tolerate more activities in their day to day life.

Working with health care professionals that understand this disease can be very beneficial. At Momentum Health Seton, we always want to set up an individualised program to best suit patient needs and help them to be as active as possible.

All the best to Selma Blair through this journey.

Move over R.I.C.E. there's a new Sheriff in town - make space for P.OL.I.C.E 👮

In recent years, this acronym has evolved due to increased knowledge of how to treat an injury. 🧑‍⚕️

Physiotherapy plays a major part in the healing process. Firstly, PTs can help with PROTECTION. This can be done through basic or complex bracing, with many options available.
Physiotherapists can assess the injury and provide you with the best options for a brace.✅️

Next is OPTIMAL LOADING. Rather than putting your injury on complete bed rest, it is better to optimally load it. As a patient, it can be difficult to understand what is considered optimal loading without guidance from a professional. 🙌

Physiotherapists can help you determine how much loading is too much or too little. They can also help you understand how it should feel in your body when loading to improve your injury and build strength.💪

Recovery progresses with I.C.E. which continues to be
Ice 🧊
Compression 🤕
Elevate 🏗

If you want to help heal your injury quickly and carefully, give us a call to book an assessment with one of our physiotherapists.

We are so happy to welcome Rebecca Brady, physiotherapist to the Seton team!

Rebecca also works at our new location, and is joining us here across from the South Health Campus as well. She is passionate about exercise! In her spare time she enjoys mountain biking, running, snowboarding, and hiking. Her experiences have encouraged her to take a multifaceted approach with patients. She incorporates each patient's unique experiences, targeted exercises, and manual therapy to help them get back to the things they love to do!

Rebecca will be available for physiotherapy bookings on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4 pm to 8 pm. So if you have a day job or maybe you just like to sleep in, but still want to make time for your healing journey, Rebecca will be the perfect fit for you!

Our Clinic Director, Physiotherapist Eli Silva, shares some insight into osteoarthritis (OA) and bracing! 🤓

"In my experience, especially for OA knee and brace prescriptions, the brace should always fall in the secondary line of treatment before surgery is considered.

There are very advanced levels of OA that bracing alone will not be enough. Provided the strength and neuromuscular control is there, the unloader/ offloader brace can provide some support. The main thing we are trying to accomplish with bracing in high tibial osteotomy is the aim to unload the OA affected joint.

So bottom line in my humble opinion is that by itself, braces have a low efficacy since there will still be a lot of weakness, poor kinesthetic support and biomechanical awareness needed to support that joint.
But if the first line of treatment is done properly and patients still need more help, those braces can provide some relief and support. Some individuals will still need to consider surgical options."
