Are you too old to start strength training? Almost certainly not.

For decades, older adults were often encouraged to β€œtake it easy”—walking, stretching and gentle activities were considered enough.

We now know that strength training can be incredibly valuable as we age.

Building strength can help support:

β€’ Muscle mass and physical strength
β€’ Bone health
β€’ Balance and coordination
β€’ Joint function
β€’ Everyday mobility
β€’ Independence and confidence

And here's the encouraging part: your body can continue to respond to resistance training well into your 70s, 80s and beyond.

At Momentum Physiotherapy in Maple Ridge, we help people get started safely and progressively. Whether you're managing arthritis or osteoporosis, recovering from surgery, dealing with an old injury, or simply want to become stronger, a physiotherapist can help you determine the right starting point and build from there.

Strength training later in life isn't about chasing personal records. It's about having the strength to climb stairs, carry groceries, get up from the floor and keep doing the things you enjoy.

πŸ‹οΈ It's never too late to get stronger.

πŸƒ **Returning to running after an injury or a long break?**

Getting back to running isn't just about getting your cardio fitness back. Your muscles, tendons, joints and bones also need time to adapt to the repetitive loading of running.

That's why a gradual return-to-running program is so important.

Our latest blog covers practical tips for getting started, including

πŸ‘‰ Walk-run intervals
πŸ‘‰ How often to run
πŸ‘‰ How to increase distance and intensity
πŸ‘‰ Strength and mobility exercises
πŸ‘‰ Cross-training options
πŸ‘‰ Warning signs to watch for
πŸ‘‰ Shoes and running surfaces
πŸ‘‰ A sample 5-week return-to-running schedule

If your break was caused by **knee pain, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, shin splints, a stress fracture or another injury**, the right progression may be different for you.

If you're in Maple Ridge and want help getting back to running, a physiotherapist can assess your current strength and movement and help you develop a safe, progressive plan.

πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ Read the full guide and learn how to get back to running without rushing the process.

πŸ₯Ύ Heading out for some BC hiking this summer? Don't just train for the climb β€” prepare for the descent, too.

Southwestern BC trails often mean a long climb followed by an equally demanding downhill. That descent can put significant demands on your quadriceps, knees, ankles and balance,especially when you're tired.

Momentum physiotherapist and sub-2:40-hour marathoner Norm Tinkham has put together some practical hiking injury-prevention tips to help you prepare.

You'll learn:

πŸ’ͺ Which exercises can help prepare your legs for hills
🦡 Why downhill hiking can be tough on your knees
βš–οΈ How strength and balance can reduce your risk of falls
πŸ’§ How to approach hydration on hot days
β˜€οΈ How to recognize heat-related illness
πŸ₯Ύ What to carry and wear on the trail
🚢 When walking poles can be useful

If hiking is causing knee pain, ankle pain or another recurring problem, physiotherapy may be able to help you address the underlying issue rather than simply taking time off.

πŸ“ Love pickleball but not the aches and pains that can come with it?

Pickleball has exploded in popularity, and so have the injuries that go with it.

If you've noticed:
βœ” Elbow pain after playing
βœ” Sore knees going up and down stairs
βœ” An aching Achilles or calf
βœ” A rolled ankle
βœ” Shoulder pain serving
βœ” A back that's stiff the next morning
..you're definitely not alone.

Many players assume they just need to "rest it" or push through the discomfort. In reality, treating the problem early often means a faster recovery and a lower chance of it coming back.

Our new blog explains:
πŸ“ The most common pickleball injuries
πŸ’ͺ Simple ways to reduce your risk
πŸ‘Ÿ Why proper footwear matters
🩺 When it's time to see a physiotherapist

Whether you're new to the game or play several times a week, we want to help keep you active and on the court.

Is your body suddenly feeling...different?

You haven't changed your routine.

But suddenly...

β€’ Your knees ache.

β€’ Your shoulders feel stiff.

β€’ You're losing strength.

β€’ Small injuries take longer to heal.

You're not imagining it.

These physical changes often begin during perimenopause, long before menopause itself.

As both a physiotherapist and someone going through perimenopause, Shannon Blackburn understands what many women are experiencing.

Her newest blog shares five practical ways to stay stronger, reduce joint pain and keep doing the activities you love.

Whether you enjoy walking, hiking, pickleball, cycling or simply want to feel stronger every day, physiotherapy may be able to help.
