June is Migraine Awareness Month, and if you suffer from migraines, you know that the pain rarely stays in just one spot. It almost always comes with intense, radiating tension wrapping up from your neck, shoulders, and the base of your skull.
When a migraine is building, your suboccipital muscles (the tiny muscles right at the base of your hairline) tend to seize up. While stretching won’t cure a complex neurological event, relieving the mechanical tension in your upper neck can significantly reduce the severity of your symptoms and lower the physical strain on your nervous system.

In our latest Reel, Bryce walks you through two clinical resets you can do right from your chair:
The Suboccipital Reset (Chin Tucks)

This creates a deep, targeted elongation of the tight suboccipital muscles at the base of your skull, releasing pressure where major nerves and blood vessels pass through to your head.

The Trapezius Decompression

This opens up space between your ear and your shoulder, dropping tension out of the upper trapezius and levator scapulae muscles that often lock up during a head pain episode.

At Running Shoe Restorative Healthcare and the Calgary Concussion Centre, we don’t just look at individual symptoms. Our multidisciplinary team combines manual neck therapies, active kinesiology progressions, lifestyle trigger mapping, and advanced, drug-free technology like CEFALY neurostimulation to desensitize your nervous system and help prevent future attacks before they take over your day.

If you struggled to find the differences between the two photos, don’t worry—you aren’t failing a test. You’re experiencing a completely normal neurological phenomenon called Change Blindness.
Our brains are constantly taking in massive amounts of visual information. To keep us from short-circuiting, the brain uses a filtering system to focus only on what it deems “important,” often missing unexpected changes right in front of us.

But why are we talking about this during Brain Injury Awareness Month? 🧠
When you sustain a concussion or mild traumatic brain injury, that vital neurological filtering system gets compromised. Here is why change blindness and visual processing matter so much in recovery:

Visual Overload: A healthy brain handles change blindness effortlessly. A concussed brain has to work twice as hard to process the exact same visual environment, which is why grocery stores, busy gyms, or scrolling on your phone can feel deeply overwhelming and trigger instant headaches.

Tracking Subtleties: Just like it’s hard to spot the small changes in these moving images, it can be hard for individuals (and their families) to spot the subtle, shifting symptoms of a concussion—like minor memory gaps, slow processing speeds, or subtle balance issues.

The Role of Vestibular & Oculomotor Therapy: This is why we don’t just treat the neck or recommend rest. We actively test and train visual processing, eye tracking, and complex environmental filtering to help your brain rebuild its efficiency.
How many differences did you actually spot on the first watch?
1️⃣ One or two?
2️⃣ Three or four?
3️⃣ Did you find all of them?
👇 Tell us your count in the comments, and share this Reel with a friend to see how their visual processing stacks up!

To wrap up Kinesiology Week, we sat down with the guy behind the custom movement roadmaps here at the clinic: Bryce Jerram!

We caught Bryce in the gym to ask him a few rapid-fire questions about his work, his favorite exercises, and a pretty wild fun fact you definitely wouldn’t guess just by seeing him around the clinic.

How long have you been a Kin? 2 years (and 1.5 of those have been right here with our team!).

Favorite injury to treat? Shoulder injuries! 🦾 He loves using creative, active exercises to help rebuild structural stability.

Go-to shoulder exercise? Wall Ball ABCs 🏀 (as demonstrated in the video!). It’s a fantastic, dynamic way to wake up and strengthen the rotator cuff muscles.

Favorite way to stay active? Full-body weightlifting. 🏋️‍♂️

A fun fact? Bryce competes in armored tournament fighting! ⚔️

Yes, you read that right—he dresses up in full steel armor and welds swords.

Whether you’re recovering from a concussion, working through a shoulder injury, or training to wear 50 lbs of armor, Bryce is ready to help you optimize your movement.

Happy National Health & Fitness Day! 💪 Today also falls right in the middle of Kinesiology Week, making it the perfect time to pull back the curtain on how we bridge the gap between injury rehab and everyday health.

You might see our multidisciplinary team using these tools around the clinic, but what do they actually do? Here is a breakdown of the active recovery essentials packed in our bag to help you build functional strength and movement resilience:
Pylons – Used for precise gait training to help correct your stride and mechanics.

Myofascial Ball – Perfect for coordination training and targeted muscle release.

Grip Strength Trainer – To specifically target and increase finger and hand strength.

Foam Roller & Muscle Roller – Our go-to tools for active muscle massage, improving mobility, and rolling out those pesky knots.

Theraband & Loop Band – Versatile tools utilized for gentle rehab strengthening, targeted stretching, and banded resistance training.

Stopwatch – For keeping exact time, especially during controlled exertion testing to safely monitor recovery limits.

Clipboard – Where we track your data, take active notes, and map out your custom movement progressions.
No matter where you are on your fitness or recovery journey, a Kinesiologist uses these tools to build a custom roadmap that gets you moving safely, efficiently, and pain-free.

💬 Which of these tools have you used in your sessions? Let us know in the comments!

Today is National Senior Health and Fitness Day, and we’re talking about one of the most effective tools we have for managing osteoarthritis: The GLAD Program.

If you’ve been told that knee or hip pain is “just part of getting older,” our Kinesiologist, Bryce, is here to set the record straight. Osteoarthritis doesn’t just affect your cartilage; it impacts your mobility, your strength, and your quality of life. But your nervous system is resilient, and with the right roadmap, you can find your way back to pain-free movement. ➡️

What is the GLAD Program? GLAD (Good Life with osteoArthritis from Denmark) is an evidence-based exercise program specifically designed for those dealing with hip and knee osteoarthritis symptoms.

Why Bryce’s one-on-one approach is a game-changer:
Strength & Endurance: We target the muscles that support your joints to take the pressure off the painful areas.
Neuromuscular Connection: It’s about teaching your brain and body to work together for better balance and stability.
Reduced Pain: The ultimate goal? Helping you move more while hurting less.
Personalized Care: Unlike a general class, Bryce offers one-on-one care. This means every rep is monitored, your form is perfected, and the program is adjusted in real-time to meet your specific needs and limits.

Ready to Level Up Your Mobility? 📈 Whether you want to keep up with your grandkids or get back on the hiking trails this spring, the GLAD program provides the foundation you need.

Have questions about joint health or the GLAD program? 💬 Drop them in the comments below, and Bryce or the team will get back to you!
