Thanks to the REFIT gals for coming out to Suspension Training / TRX.

HEY!! Where are all those others that said they wanted to come? It’s not that scary. I promise!!

TRX is staying at Tuesdays 6pm for August. Stay tuned for new day and time in September. And check out the REFIT schedule when they’re back at it. They’re a fun crew!

If you have missed REFIT and REV+FLOW this summer, our September schedule will be released soon! We’ve missed you, and look forward to welcoming you back!

Tonight, Shari at The Trailhead Wellness Collective took us through a TRX class. Thanks for the fun and the great workout! 💪

We are grateful for so many ways to keep active in our town! Whatever exercise you engage in, it is always great to try something new.

We probably don't need vast amounts of quality research to agree that sleep is such an important factor when it comes to our health.

I did review a few papers however regarding Occupational Therapists and Physiotherapists thoughts and knowledge around helping patients with sleep. Over 90% of both groups agreed that sleep was an important factor in health. Over 80% felt that they should be including review of sleep as part of their assessments. However, less than 40% felt they had the training to do so.

That is why we are so fortunate to have Erin with Groundwork Occupational Therapy offering this workshop here in Sundre. Assessing and treating sleep disturbances is a special interest area of Erin's. She has used her additional education and research to treat patients one-on-one and develop this group workshop.

If you, or someone you care for, struggles with sleep, do not let this opportunity pass you by. Contact Erin for more details and to register. [email protected]

Injury Prevention - Sports Readiness - Strong Beginnings

It's all starting in 2 weeks. You can have your say to pick the date and time. Call / Text / Email Shari for registration or more information.

Final details will be posted next week. Whoop Whoop!!!

As a physiotherapist, as much as I enjoy helping people come back after injuries, I really enjoy helping people prevent the injury in the first place. The same things that help injury prevention are the same things that improve performance - strength, endurance, power, proprioception.

6 weeks - Week of August 17th to Week of September 21st
Dates and Times are TBC based on feedback from interested participants. So, let me know what afternoons / evenings work best for you or your child.

Cost: Starting $60 if registered for full 6 week session
(class will require a minimum of 6 participants)
$15 drop-in session for those that are unable to register for all 6

Finalized dates, times and details will be posted Monday!
Have your say and stay tuned!

So this has been on my mind lately.
Latest Bloggity Blog...

"The barrier was not the lack of opportunity. The barrier was needing security."

This blog post has been swirling around my head for a while and it has been scribbled on paper in a few different forms but I was having difficulty with what I was trying to conclude. Then today, someone said the conclusion:“The barrier was not the lack of opportunity. The barrier was needing secu...

Planning a Trailcast for the end of August. Something light-hearted.

Two thoughts - which would you be interested in?
1. What is your Garmin trying to tell you? (And why is she so mean?)
2. (Women’s) Backpacking trips. I may enlist friends to share pics and stories.

Any other thoughts for a light-hearted Trailcast.
More educational Trailcasts are in the works too. Any topics you’d like to see?
