No single practitioner has all the answers. Not even me. And I'm pretty great.

When I started Yellow Gazebo, I wanted to build a clinic where people could get the care they actually needed, not just the care one practitioner happened to offer.

Fourteen years later, that's still what we're trying to do.

Different perspectives. Different expertise. One team working to help people feel better.

Welcome to *Here's the Thing*, my new series about health, how we do things at Yellow Gazebo, and why the answers aren't always simple.

Knee pain doesn't always mean doing the same exercises every time you see your physiotherapist.

In this video, we're bringing together several moments from a real follow-up session with Yang, one of our physiotherapists at Yellow Gazebo.

Watch how he works with his patient, adjusting exercises and building on what they're able to do.

It's a nice look at how physiotherapy can progress, one step at a time.

Have you ever been surprised by an exercise your physiotherapist asked you to do?

How far should your knee actually go over your toes?

As Yang explains, there isn’t one “correct” answer.

Letting the knee travel farther forward can make an exercise more quad dominant, but that doesn’t make it wrong. It depends on what you’re trying to accomplish and, in my case, how my knee is doing as I get back into the exercise.

Sometimes a small change in position changes what you’re asking your body to do.

I’ve been on St. Clair for 14 years now, and it’s funny how much history can fit into a relatively short walk.

I started at Yellow Gazebo and headed toward Wychwood Barns, passing a few places that have become part of my life along the way.

Pukka is one of them. I’ve known Harsh and Derek for years, I love what they’ve created there, and their food is still in regular rotation at our house.

Then there’s Mabel’s. In the first couple of years after opening Yellow Gazebo, I was still running the reception desk myself, and I went there almost every day. Eventually I was able to help build the amazing admin team we have today, but walking into Mabel’s still takes me back to those early years. I stopped for a coffee this time and somehow ended up chatting with a stranger who was reading their sandwich board. Just another little neighbourhood moment.

I’ve also known Frank, the owner of The Rushton, for years. During my 25 years working in restaurants, I got the chance to spend a summer there. I worked with a lot of great people over the years, but that particular team was special. It was one of those rare times when the whole group just clicked, and I still look back fondly on what a great summer that was.

And then there’s Bracondale House. We’ve helped raise money for them in the past, and I’m grateful they’re part of our community. The work they do supporting seniors matters: our seniors don’t always receive the respect and support they deserve, and places like Bracondale help bridge that gap.

Eventually I made my way into Wychwood Barns, found a bench, finished my coffee and wandered around for a while. I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about Yellow Gazebo as a clinic, and this was a nice chance to look back and reflect on some happy memories.

After 14 years, it’s pretty hard to separate the clinic from the neighbourhood that grew up around it.

Why would your physiotherapist have you train just one arm at a time?

Sometimes it’s easier to focus on good form when there’s less happening at once. And as Alice explains here, working one side at a time can also give your core an extra challenge as your body works to stay balanced.

Sometimes taking something away from an exercise changes the challenge completely.

We’ve all done it.

A warning pops up. We’re busy. We click “Remind Me Later” and keep going.

Our bodies can be a bit like that too.

A little stiffness. Poor sleep. Low energy. A headache that keeps coming back.

Not every little symptom means something is wrong. But when your body keeps sending you the same message, it might be worth paying attention.

UPDATE - OCTOBER 1: Our phone service has been fully restored and both locations can now be reached normally. Thank you for your patience!

An update for our Yellow Gazebo community:

Unfortunately, we've been experiencing significant phone service disruptions due to an issue with Bell's internet service.

While our phones are currently working at one of our two locations, the other location remains without phone service. This means you can still reach us, but you may experience longer hold times or need to leave a message.

Our team has spent hours trying to resolve this with Bell, only to be transferred repeatedly between departments. After waiting nearly 24 hours for a promised callback, we were told we'd been placed in the wrong queue.

Unfortunately, this isn't the first time we've experienced serious service issues with Bell. We've dealt with recurring problems since our phone system was first installed in 2023.

Richard has shared his experience publicly, and we're sharing his post in the hope that Bell will take ownership of the situation and provide a lasting solution.

We're still open and here to help! If you can't reach us immediately, please leave a message and we'll get back to you as soon as possible. You can also book appointments online through our website.

We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience, particularly with our administrative team, who have been working tirelessly to keep things running while trying to get this resolved.

Thank you for your understanding.

Not every update needs a big reveal.

It’s been a few weeks since my last My Spine Project video. I’m still seeing Sarah, still doing my traction at home and still doing the mobility work she gave me.

And that’s really the point.

Working on something long-term often isn’t very exciting. It’s doing the work consistently, giving it time and eventually seeing whether it actually made a difference.

So for now, I keep doing my part, Sarah keeps doing hers, and eventually we’ll take another set of X-rays and see what’s changed.

This is the part you usually don’t get to see.

A lot of what happens at Yellow Gazebo has nothing to do with treatment.

It’s Hannah calling me over to look at something. A quick conversation at reception.

Checking in about what’s happening that day. Straightening a room before I leave.

And sometimes it’s just stopping for a minute to talk about one of our patients and the little conversations we’ve had with them over the years.

These aren’t necessarily the things people see when they come in for an appointment. But after 14 years, I’ve realized that a clinic isn’t really built from treatment rooms, equipment or even services.

It’s built in thousands of little moments between people.

Most of them aren’t particularly exciting.

But they’re a pretty big part of what makes Yellow Gazebo feel like Yellow Gazebo.

A small change in your setup can make a big difference in how a split squat feels.

Yang, one of our physiotherapists, shows his patient why he still wants some width between the feet, even though one foot is in front of the other.

From there, he’s looking at the hip, knee and toes, and making sure the knee isn’t collapsing inward as his patient moves through the exercise.

Sometimes better movement starts with a small adjustment.
