There is a ton of evidence suggesting that impingement syndrome, which is a common diagnosis in those with shoulder pain, is not a real diagnosis and is not causing rotator cuff tears!

The acromion, the bony bit that overlies structures of the shoulder including the rotator cuff tendons, was thought to impinge on the rotator cuff and cause tearing. Anatomy, pathology, the poor correlation between symptoms & imaging findings, & the fact that similar outcomes are achieved with variable interventions (surgery, exercise, & just plain old rest) are all evidence that this is not a real issue 😅

So, what to do if you have shoulder pain? Give it some time. See a physio/chiro that will provide exercise therapy to improve function, and hopefully minimize pain too 🤩 💪

SAVE THE DATE: Monday, July 18th • 5-8pm

We're SUPER excited to celebrate our GRAND OPENING with friends, family, clients & future clients! We'd love for you to stop by, say hi and check out our space 🤩 We'll have refreshments & snacks for all to enjoy! See you there 🥳

Just a little Before/After shot of our hand washing station! Could not be happier with how this backsplash looks and the additional storage for all our clinic goodies! :D

Our first day of working in this beautiful space has come and gone! We made it through road construction, a spontaneously rattling air vent, and a couple of software glitches with nothing but excitement and gratitude! Thank you everyone so much for your support and helping us achieve this dream!!

We've reached another exciting milestone! Our website is live and ready for booking appointments! Head to www.aktivrehab.ca to check things out!
