Choosing a physiotherapist can feel overwhelming.
A quick search brings up dozens of clinics, but how do you know which one is the right fit for you? 🧐

Not all physiotherapy looks the same. 💭
Some clinics focus more on hands-on treatment. Others emphasize exercise and movement. Some therapists work with multiple patients at once, while others provide one-on-one care for the full appointment.

The best choice depends on your goals, preferences, and the type of support you’re looking for. ✅

Before booking, consider asking:
• What does a typical appointment look like?
• How much time will I spend directly with the physiotherapist?
• How is exercise incorporated into treatment?
• How will my program progress over time?

📲 We’ve broken down exactly what to look for in our latest blog post. Read the full article linked in bio.

Sending out a huge congratulations to our physiotherapist, Lisa McCarthy, on passing her national exam and earning her Diploma in Sport Physiotherapy 👏

After countless hours of sport coverage, studying, travelling, clinical work, and years of hard work, Lisa will now hold the designation of Registered International Sport Physiotherapist (RISPT).

An incredible achievement and one that very few physiotherapists accomplish. Lisa is currently the only physiotherapist in Newfoundland and Labrador with a Diploma in Sport Physiotherapy.

We’re lucky to have Lisa on our team at Ascend Health. Huge accomplishment and very well deserved 💪

Spring is in the air 🌿

Longer days, more movement, and the urge to do everything at once—but spring activity is best approached with a plan.

Start small:
✅ Break up your tasks (you do not need to rake every leaf today)
✅ Choose activities that match your current fitness level
✅ Gradually increase intensity—your body will thank you

👉🏼 Feeling stiff? Sore? Or just want a plan that works for you? Book a physiotherapy appointment with us and get ahead of those aches before they slow you down.

As the inaugural season comes to an end, it’s hard not to take a moment and reflect on what’s been one hell of a ride.
This year has been an incredible experience for our clinic. Being part of the Newfoundland Regiment is something we don’t take lightly, and it’s been a privilege to be along for the journey.

To Glen, Kenny, and the ownership group, thank you for everything you’ve done to build something special here and make this team possible.

To Gordie, Marty, Rory and Beast, thank you for trusting us and bringing us into the fold.

TJ, Aaron, Lisa, Pow, Murph, and Conner, thanks for the laughs. I Didn’t think it was possible to have this much fun being on a hockey team without actually playing. You’re some of the hardest working people I’ve been around, and I loved working along side of you all.

And to all the players from year one, it was a pleasure working with every one of you. Great hockey players, but even better people. Wishing you all the best this offseason and wherever the game takes you next.
