The daily challanges of the job, test our responder both physically and mentally. Are you ready?

The standard gear, a paramedic carries can weigh anywhere from 37 to 45 lbs. This does not include the physical requirements of extricating patients.

Training and building physical resilience is key to carry not only the physical weight of a call but it’s also pivotal in the ability to take the mental load off at the end of a shift.

Join our DF4S team at the Peterborough Ruck to Remember on Nov 2nd to test your carrying ability [aim is 22kg ruck sacks] and support a stellar cause.

Today we recognize the hazard of our job and we remember those who have fallen ill or injured. Take care of each other, be safe and stay healthy.

Shoulder Injuries can sideline a first responder for months or even years. Preventative maintenance and controlled lifting is key to keeping injuries at bay. Finding an amazing physiotherapist or trainer who recognizes the unique needs of first responder will also put you ahead of the game. Stay strong and healthy my friends !
