Embarking on a fitness journey for the new year? 🌟 Here are some key tips for injury-free progress:

1. Warm-Up Right: A dynamic warm-up gets your body ready for action. Include movements that mimic your workout to prep your muscles.

2. Know Your Limits: Progress gradually. Listen to your body, and don't push too hard too soon. Consistency is key!

3. Strength Train Smartly: Build strength with proper form. If you're feeling unsure about your routine or form, book an assessment with one of our physiotherapists to reduce risk of injury!

4. Rest and Recover: Allow time for your body to recover. Adequate sleep, hydration, and rest days are vital for optimal performance.

5. Listen to Your Body: If something doesn't feel right, pause and assess. Consult with a physiotherapist for guidance on any discomfort or pain.

Ready to kickstart a safe and effective fitness journey? Let's make it a year of strength, resilience, and injury-free achievements! 💪

Meet Farhana Punja! Farhana works out of our Northgate and High Performance Centre Downtown. Farhana graduated with a Bachelors of Science with Distinction and a Master’s degree in Physiotherapy both from the University of Alberta. ⁠
⁠
In Farhana's own words : ⁠
" I love the challenge of treating a variety of conditions and injuries, and am always working to develop my skills-set to benefit my patients. I’m currently in the process of completing my acupuncture certification and plan to continue my education in dry needling in the near future as well. ⁠
⁠
My ultimate goal is to get to know my patients, understand their goals and motivations, and empower them to crush their goals. I want to provide my patients with the tools they need to take the reins when it comes to their physical health. I’m here to be your number one supporter, educate you on your injury and injury prevention, and use manual therapy and individualized exercise prescription to aide your recovery.⁠
⁠
This year brought new challenges when it comes to fitness and self-care, but it also allowed me to be more creative and explore different avenues of fitness that I had previously overlooked.⁠
⁠
I’m currently working through a strength and conditioning program with the ultimate goal of Olympic weightlifting. I also love hitting up a spin or boxing class during my spare time. I absolutely love animals, and one day hope to further my physiotherapy education in canine rehab (yes, it exists!) so I can work with our beloved furry companions as well. " ⁠
⁠
Stop by our High Performance Centre or Northgate locations and say hi to Farhana!
