Control overhead starts with control everywhere else.

For week 5 of , physio Alexis is breaking down the “behind-the-neck press” using a PVC pipe with hanging weights.

The hanging weights add an extra stability challenge, forcing your shoulders, core, and upper back to stay connected and controlled through the movement.

This is a great drill for building overhead control, especially for athletes who need strong, stable shoulders for throwing, serving, pressing, climbing, swimming, or lifting.

Key cue: keep a neutral core. Try not to arch through your low back to “find” the overhead position. The goal is to own the movement with control, not compensate your way through it.

🏋🏼‍♀️Want to progress it? Add a squat with the overhead press to challenge your mobility, stability, and coordination even more.

Because mobility is not just about getting into a position.

It is about controlling that position under demand.

Mobility, strength, coordination, control.

For week 4 of , physio Alexis is breaking down the Turkish get-up, a more advanced movement that asks a lot from your whole body.

This exercise challenges shoulder stability, core control, hip mobility, coordination, and the ability to stay strong through multiple ranges of motion.

For athletes, especially overhead sport athletes, this kind of stability matters. Whether you are throwing, serving, swinging, pressing, or reaching, your shoulder needs to do more than just move. It needs to stay strong and controlled while the rest of your body is moving too.

A key cue: keep your eyes on the kettlebell through the whole movement.

And because this one is more technical, start light. Focus on dialing in the movement first, then progress the weight once you feel confident and controlled.

➡️ Because mobility is not just about getting into a position.
➡️ It is about owning that position, controlling it, and trusting your body when it matters.

A little behind the scenes of a follow-up chiropractic session with Dr. Nicole. 👀

Small movement. Big demand.

For week 3 of our mobility series, physio Alexis is breaking down the half-kneeling single-arm bottoms-up kettlebell press. 💪

This one challenges shoulder mobility, stability, grip strength, core control, and full-body coordination, all at once.

The bottoms-up position forces you to slow down, stay connected, and control the movement through the full range instead of just muscling your way through it.

And the half-kneeling setup adds another layer by asking your hips, trunk, and shoulder to work together to keep you steady.

Because mobility is not just about getting into a position.

It is about being able to control that position, load it, and trust your body when it matters.

Follow along all summer as the /A Team shares practical mobility tools you can start adding into your training.

Join the /A Team!

At /Ascent, we believe exceptional care starts long before someone steps into a treatment room. It starts with the first phone call, the first greeting, the booking experience, the follow-through, and all the small details that help patients feel supported on their way back to the active life they love.

We’re hiring a Patient Experience Coordinator who is warm, organized, proactive, and proud to play a meaningful role in the patient journey.

If you care about people, thrive in a team environment, and want to be part of a clinic raising the bar for patient care, we’d love to hear from you.

Sometimes the right person crosses your path when you weren’t even looking.

That was the case with Gwen.

We weren’t actively hiring, but when Gwen reached out about joining /Ascent, it quickly became clear that she was exactly the kind of practitioner we’d want on the /A-Team.

Originally from Switzerland she and he husband recently moved to Calgary to enjoy the Rocky Mountain lifestyle. As a CrossFit lover and coach she is super stoked to be working out of our Currie location with Barracks Fitness also under the same roof.

Her depth of experience, clinical interests, and thoughtful approach to care are such a great fit for our patients, and we’re so excited to officially welcome her to the team.

This is Gwen’s first full week in the clinic, and her schedule is now live for online booking.

🗓️ Call or book online to partner with Gwen in getting your body moving and feeling it’s best.

Mobility only matters if you can control it.

For week 2 of , physio Alexis is breaking down the single-arm overhead kettlebell carry, a simple but powerful way to build shoulder mobility, stability, and control.

This exercise challenges your shoulder stabilizers, core, grip, and posture while asking your body to stay strong in an overhead position.

Because having access to range is one thing.
Owning that range under load is where the real training happens.

👉 If you are lifting, throwing, climbing, golfing, biking, or doing anything that asks your upper body to work hard, overhead control is a key piece of building more resilient movement.

Follow along every Monday this summer as the /A Team shares mobility tools you can start adding into your training.

Mobility is not just about how far you can stretch. 👇

It is about whether you can access a range of motion, control it, and trust your body when that movement shows up in real life, sport, or training.

This summer, we are kicking off with physio Alexis, sharing simple mobility tools you can start adding into your routine.

Because if you’re strength or sport training but ignoring mobility work and the ability to control your movement at end ranges, you are missing a key piece in your training.

Whether you are running trails, lifting weights, biking, golfing, hiking, or simply trying to move through your day with more confidence, better mobility and movement control can help your body:
✅ handle load
✅ adapt to demand
✅ build more injury resilience

Our team can help assess what your body needs and guide you in clinic, but the biggest wins happen when you consistently put that work into practice.

Follow along every Monday this summer as Alexis shares practical mobility work from the /A Team.

At Ascent, our mission is simple: ensure there is “No Better Place.”

No better place for practitioners to thrive, and no better place for patients to receive care in Calgary.

To live that mission, we are constantly pushing ourselves to grow. That’s where “Session Nights” come in.

This spring, the /A Team voluntarily traded evening downtime for three deep-dive sessions dedicated to hands on skill development.

Why? Because to be the ultimate environment for our patients, we never stop learning.

Our Sessions focus:

✨ Soft Tissue Mastery: Refining hands-on skills to unlock restricted movement.
✨ Mobility & Control: Bridging manual therapy with active rehab frameworks.

We spent hours refining our soft tissue techniques to ensure that when we say we provide “comprehensive care,” we mean it.

By mastering how to unlock better movement, we create the foundation for true movement resilience - helping you move better, stay active, and reach your full potential.

Stoked to have a team that loves putting in the work as much as getting the results.
