Optimal Health Physiotherapy

Optimal Health Physiotherapy Our goal at Optimal Health Physiotherapy is to provide excellent physiotherapy services at every stage of your rehabilitation.

Who we are:

Kathy Eggenberger
I have been practicing physiotherapy since 1999 when I graduated from the University of British Columbia with a Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy. I began my career working at several sports medicine clinics in Vancouver, Victoria and London. I have been practicing in Peterborough since 2003. I started Optimal Health Physiotherapy in 2015. I am a Fellow of th

e Canadian Academy of Manipulative Physiotherapists and have a certification in Acupuncture and Dry Needling from APTEI. When I am not working as a physiotherapist, I spend some time coaching the local youth triathlon team, the Peterborough Pirates and instructing in the local youth mountain bike program, Sprockids. I have competed with the Canadian National Rowing Team and the Canadian National Age Group Triathlon Team. In my spare time I can be found playing outside with my husband and two young children; skiing, swimming, cycling and running. I look forward to meeting you and helping you along your journey to optimal health!

As we move into spring and the weather warms up, we often change our modes of movement and activities. Remember if you are starting new activities, or re-starting after a pause, ease back into things. Warm up for 5-10 min using a lighter form of the exercise to get the muscles and joints ready for the work. Start with shorter sessions and build up to your goal distance or time. Donโ€™t forget to take those rest days! If you need a massage for post workout care book in at marymassagetherapy.com

Sometimes you need a higher vantage point to see the bigger picture! โ 
โ 
Thatโ€™s exactly what Clara Blakelock, Energy Manager at GreenUP, worked with Scott Murison and Rob Arkell of Wild Rock Outfitters to do โ€” by heading to the rooftop of their downtown Peterborough shop to ensure a complete look at their HVAC system to inform news ways to boost energy efficiency.โ 
โ 
By participating in the development of GreenUP's small business energy pilot, Wild Rock is continuing their long-standing commitment to reducing their own environmental impact while supporting their community, leading by example as an original member of Green Economy Peterborough. ๐ŸŒฟโ

โ“Is warming up before exercise really necessary? And what should you doโ“
Weโ€™ve always been told we should warm up before exercise, but what does that really mean? A good warm up prepares your body for the sport or activity you are planning to do, and decreases your risk of injury. ๐Ÿ‹๏ธโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿšดโ€โ™€๏ธ
