Parents...here is an easy way to engage with your children and for both of you to get stronger at the same time. Body weight exercises or exercises with small weights or even do-it-yourself rocks in a bag are all you need to begin some at home exercises. If you need some ideas...give us a call and we can help!

After a traumatic brain injury, Whistler snowboarder Kody Williams had to learn to walk, talk and eat again. Now, he just can’t wait for winter.

Before COVID rocked the world, one of our physios rocked some professional development and became certified in Gunn IMS (intramuscular stimulation).

You may have heard of this method before – it is a unique system of diagnosis and treatment developed by a physician in BC, which uses fine filament needles directed at tight muscle bands, that ultimately has an effect on the peripheral nerves (the nerves that innervate your muscles and skin and allow you to feel and move!)

CRPRC is the only facility west of Smithers to provide this gold standard method for safe and effective dry needling (which can only be performed by a trained physiotherapist or physician).

Check out the link below for a video explanation and more info on the technique, along with what conditions this may be beneficial for.

If you have questions or are interested in Gunn IMS, call 250 638 1010 or email [email protected]

Intramuscular Stimulation Supersensitivity and muscle shortening cannot be operated on and ‘cut away,’ while ‘painkillers’ and other analgesic pills only mask the pain (often poorly) and...

Here’s a not so well-known fact:
You do NOT need a physician’s referral to see a physio!

Physiotherapists are trained in the assessment, diagnosis, and management of a wide range of musculoskeletal, neuromuscular, and cardiopulmonary conditions.

Our physios are primarily orthopaedic focused (dealing with the musculoskeletal system), but are able to treat any condition affecting your ability to move and live well.

We liaise with local doctors and refer on to other healthcare professionals and specialists as needed.

If you are having difficulty moving or are experiencing any pain, simply call to see one of our experienced movement specialists.

If you’ve been here recently for a new injury or condition, you may have noticed we’re doing things a bit differently!

Each new assessment now begins with a 15min phone consult with one of our physios, at no extra cost. This allows your physio to obtain a thorough history of your current issue, screen for anything serious, and collect all necessary information and/or reports – before you even arrive!

This is followed by an in-person appointment, where your physio will perform a complete examination of your injury, and any related areas.

This new format meets our province’s recommendations for minimizing the amount of contact time necessary within the clinic, while also maintaining our standards for quality assessment and treatment.

All of our physios are currently accepting new assessments.
So if you have any health or mobility questions/concerns… LET’S CHAT!

Who's participating in Terrace Off Road Cycling Association's 30 Day Challenge??

One of our physiotherapists (Natasha) just put together this list of tips to stay healthy while challenging yourself this month.

There's a lot of good info here (download image for better view)!

It's Day 10!. We asked our Director of Fun, Natasha Papachristoforou, if she could give us some pointers to keep our bodies (and minds!) healthy for the remainder of the month.

Here are Tash's Top 10 Tips for Thriving through the TORCA Thirty Day Challenge.

Thanks, Tash!!

We're nearing the end of our second week of resuming in-person services (and still perfecting our eye-smiling technique)!

We just want to thank everyone for being so patient, respectful, and understanding as we settle into a new groove - it has been such a treat to see you again, and we hope you feel the same way.

Let us know if you have any questions, comments, or feedback for us moving forward!

For now we are only accepting calls and emails for booking appointments with our physios (our online booking system will be launched soon - stay tuned)

Enjoy the weekend and keep moving!

CLINIC DOORS OPENING SOON!

We are excited to announce our official, yet tentative (can we be officially tentative?) re-opening date for this coming Tuesday, May 26th!

Our physios and staff have been working tirelessly this week to ensure our clinic facility and policies will adhere to current best practice guidelines for public safety.

We are doing all that we can with the information available to us, and we simply ask for your continued patience as we assemble and implement the necessary resources and procedures.

Our ultimate goal is always to get you moving again. But first we need to get this right!

In the coming days we will be releasing more detailed information about what you can expect from us when our doors do open, what we have done, and how we can work together to keep our community strong and healthy.

We'll be seeing you soon!

Here is a video from Leah Higgins...she is Andrew Trincao’s partner (remember he used to work with us?) and they now live in Ottawa! They are both sorely missed but cool to see Leah rockin’ Covid recommendations!
