We have a real life super hero at Riverwood!

Congratulations to physiotherapist Moriah Thorpe, who completed the Ironman 70.3 in Victoria at the end of May. We always knew she was an avid runner but had no clue this was on her radar. Did we mention she's just recently back from mat leave! 🤯.

Perhaps more importantly - what an amazing family photo. If you need to cheer up, just zoom in on that smiling baby 😂.

Kristen liked the Running Clinic 1.0 course so much we decided to host the 1.1 course (Diagnosis of Running Injuries) at Riverwood last weekend!

It was a fantastic turnout, with physios coming in from the tri-city area, various regions of BC, and even from Alberta, Ontario and Michigan.

Thank you to both the Running Clinic and co-owner Kristen for organizing this event. This two day event really helped to organize and prioritize our assessment of running related injuries. The first step in treating someone is getting an accurate diagnosis!

I'll use this for patients that are in acute pain due to a shoulder strain or for athletes that are sore but able to play and want a bit of comfort. Keep in mind: a bit of tape is never going to prevent an injury, this is about providing some comfort if it's safe to do so. Tape holds up well for about 3 days. Even if it gets a bit wet in the shower.

Do you have a favorite type of exercise to improve your mood? I'll take throwing around some heavy weights with a group of great people.

Regardless of your current level fitness, there is always an entry point to get started! Do it for your physical health, and do it for your mental health.

Tennis elbow can be a very painful condition in the early stages.

A lateral glide mobilization with movement is a great way to start working these muscles with less pain.

As pain levels improve, exercises can be progressed with more resistance to load the muscle and tendon appropriately for more long-term benefits.

Welcome back, Moriah. We should also mention that, in addition to having her first child, she also managed to complete the UBC triathlon in early March! 👏👏

As always, you can call in to book or book online via the Jane App link on our website (link in bio).
