📣📣 New Blog Alert 📣📣

It's hard to miss the pickleball boom. As one of the fastest-growing sports in North America, pickleball has become especially popular with adults over 40. It's social, fun, easy to learn, and an excellent way to stay active. But with that popularity has come a sharp increase in injuries—many of which could be prevented or managed early by seeing a physiotherapist.

See the link in our bio to read our latest blog post on pickleball injuries!

Weekend warriors, unite - and please, survive Monday. 🏃‍♂️

If you only move at full throttle on weekends, your body gets a rude awakening.

Warm up before your adventures: five minutes of light cardio, a few dynamic stretches, maybe even a victory dance. Cool down afterwards - gentle stretching or a slow stroll keeps your muscles from filing a formal complaint.

Common strains? They love surprise attacks. Ankles, hamstrings, shoulders - these are the usual suspects. Strengthen them with short, simple exercises during the week so your weekend escapades don’t end in hobbling. Even a few flights of stairs, a lunchtime walk, or a quick squat session adds up. Your body will thank you when the “weekend warrior” turns into “weekend legend.”

Healthy people aren’t automatically happy, and people with health challenges can still find joy. But like happiness, good health is easier to cultivate when you invest in it consistently.

Small daily choices build that foundation: nourishing nutrition 🥗, moments of deep breathing or mindfulness to manage stress 🧘‍♂️, prioritising sleep and self-care over work and doom-scrolling 💤📵, and movement that keeps your body strong and flexible 💪.

Even tiny movement snacks make a difference - standing glute squeezes, chair sit-to-stands, or a short walk between meetings. Over time, these habits improve posture, circulation, and energy, making all the other healthy choices easier to maintain.

From coast to coast to coast, Canada Day is a celebration of connection, community, and pride in place. 🍁

It’s also a good reminder that health and wellbeing are best enjoyed when we’re able to get out, move, and take part in the moments that matter - whether that’s walking with family, joining local events, or simply spending time outdoors.

At its core, good health helps us show up for the life we want to live, wherever that may be.

From all of us, wishing a safe and happy Canada Day. 🇨🇦

🌟 Spotlight On: Harleen Grewal, PT 🌟

At Striowski & Associates Physiotherapy, we’re proud to have dedicated clinicians like our physiotherapist, Harleen Grewal, helping our patients move better, feel stronger, and get back to doing what they love.

When asked what she finds most rewarding about being a physiotherapist, Harleen shared:

“Helping patients reach their goals and return to their normal lives is what I find most rewarding. Whether it’s getting back to day-to-day activities, returning to sports, or achieving personal milestones, being part of their recovery journey and seeing their progress is incredibly fulfilling.”

Harleen also believes in practicing what she preaches by staying active, using good body mechanics, and making time for mobility and strengthening exercises in her own routine.

And if you’ve had a treatment session with Harleen, you’ve probably heard her favourite phrase:

💬 “Motion is lotion.”

It’s a simple reminder that movement is often one of the best tools we have for maintaining and improving our health.

Join us in celebrating Harleen and the positive impact she makes on our patients every day!

Walking is simple, accessible, and surprisingly powerful for your body. Each step activates your leg, hip, and core muscles, stimulates synovial fluid in your joints to reduce stiffness, and improves blood flow, delivering oxygen and nutrients to tissues - all important for recovery and long-term joint health. Walking also supports neuromuscular control and proprioception, helping balance and coordination, while benefiting cardiovascular fitness, mood, and metabolism.

Want to make it even better? Add a gentle arm pump like you’re marching in a parade 🎺 - it engages your upper body and core without looking too “mad.” Feeling self-conscious? keep it subtle or hold a light water bottle for resistance.

Small daily steps can strengthen, protect, and energise your body!⚡️🦵

Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing moms out there! 🌸💛

Being a mom means juggling so much - lifting, bending, running after little ones, and somehow finding time for yourself. Your body works hard, and it deserves a little love back.

Today is the perfect reminder to pause, stretch, breathe, and move in ways that feel good. Even small moments of care for your back, shoulders, or feet make a difference over time. 🧘‍♀️💆‍♀️

We’d love to hear from you: What’s one way you look after your body while looking after everyone else? Share your tips or stories in the comments - they might just inspire another busy mom!

Rehab roadmap for common injuries 🛤️

Recovering from a sprain, surgery or rotator cuff injury is more than just “rest and wait.” A structured, evidence-based approach can support healing and help reduce the risk of re-injury.

The journey begins with a comprehensive assessment, evaluating joint stability, range of motion, muscle strength, and functional limitations. From there, individualised goals are set, focusing on restoring safe movement patterns and progressive loading appropriate to your stage of tissue recovery.

Rehabilitation then progresses through phased exercises - starting with early mobility and activation, moving to gradual strengthening, neuromuscular retraining to improve coordination and balance, and finally functional or sport-specific conditioning. Each stage is carefully monitored to ensure tissues adapt safely while rebuilding confidence in movement.

Every injury is unique, and personalised guidance may mean the difference between a full recovery and lingering limitations. We’re always here to help develop tailored rehab plans in order to get back to safe, strong movement.
