Here’s physiotherapist Erica putting our VALD force plates to the test with a single-leg hop!🦵

Our VALD force plates give us objective data on strength, power, and movement, helping us to identify asymmetries, track progress, and make more informed rehab decisions. For example, when assessing someone recovering from an ankle injury, we want to know if they can push off and land evenly on their injured side compared to their uninjured side, giving us valuable insight into how their body is handling impact. 

Come see us at City Sports + Physio for data-driven rehab! Whether your goal is recovery, injury prevention, or performance optimization, we can use our VALD force plates to better understand how your body is moving and where there may be room for improvement. 🏃🏼‍♀️

Do you have constant neck, head, jaw pain?
Do you have pain when you eat or yawn?
Do you have clicking/popping at your jaw?
Do you clench your teeth?
Do you get headaches?
Do you have restricted jaw movements?

If so, you would benefit from booking an appointment with one of our physiotherapists (Joanne Tishenko or Sarah Guy) who have skills in treating the TMJ (temporomandibular joint). It is not something you just have to live with!

🏆 Patient of the Week 🏆

Huge congratulations to our amazing patient for winning her age category at HYROX Ottawa! 💪🔥

HYROX is a global fitness race that combines 8 km of running with 8 functional workout stations — think sled pushes, rowing, farmer’s carries, lunges, wall balls, and more. It’s a serious test of strength, endurance, grit, and pacing.

Winning an age category in a race like this is no small feat, and we couldn’t be more excited to celebrate her hard work and incredible result.

Way to go — we’re cheering you on all the way! 👏

Happy Vancouver Sun Run Day! 🏃🏼‍♀️Here’s part 3 of our series of run cross training exercises that are helping our clinicians train for the BMO Half Marathon in 2 weeks.

Here is how Physio Erica is keeping her hip flexors strong and ready. 👟 This standing banded hip flexion exercise starts with a circle band placed around both feet. Keep your toes up and bring your knee towards your chest. Lower slowly with control and make sure to keep your torso still and core engaged. Erica chooses this exercise because her hip flexors often feel tight when running and stretching alone doesn’t always resolve it. Strengthening through range helps prepare her hip flexors for forward momentum and endurance.

Taper week is fast approaching! See your City Sports + Physio team to get your body feeling great before the big race day. 💪🏻
