A fall can affect more than your pride! 💚

Here are 5 ways a fall can impact your life:

1️⃣ Broken bones — including hip, wrist and ankle fractures.
2️⃣ Head injuries — including concussion.
3️⃣ Reduced independence — everyday tasks may become harder during recovery.
4️⃣ Loss of confidence — fear of falling again can keep you from activities you love.
5️⃣ Less movement — avoiding activity can lead to weakness and increase your risk of another fall.

The encouraging part? You can take steps to improve your balance. 👣

Our Find Your Balance session includes an assessment with our kinesiologist and a personalized exercise program to practise at home.

Feel steadier. Move with confidence.

Feeling a little less sure on your feet? Our “Find Your Balance” session is a practical place to start.

In one 45-minute appointment, our kinesiologist will help you:

✅ Check your balance and identify areas to work on
✅ Learn exercises suited to your ability
✅ Take home a plan to keep practising

One appointment. No ongoing class commitment. Just guidance tailored to you.

⛷️ SKIING LEGS — GET THEM READY!

Ski season has a sneaky way of arriving before our legs are ready for it! 😅

A little preparation now can make those first days on the mountain a whole lot more enjoyable.

Skiing requires strength, endurance, balance and control — particularly through your quads, glutes, hamstrings and core. And while squats are great, getting ski-ready takes a little more than doing a few squats the week before opening day!

Start working on:

🏋️ Leg strength — squats, split squats, step-ups and lunges
🔥 Muscular endurance — wall sits and longer-duration leg work to prepare for those sustained ski positions
⚖️ Single-leg balance — because skiing constantly challenges your ability to control your body over one leg
↔️ Lateral strength — side lunges and lateral step-downs help prepare you for side-to-side loading
💪 Core & hip strength — a strong trunk and hips help you stay controlled when the terrain gets interesting
❤️ Cardiovascular fitness — because strong legs aren’t much help if they’re exhausted halfway through the morning!

Not sure where to start?

Our kinesiologist can build you an individualized ski-conditioning program based on your current strength, fitness and any old injuries — so you can arrive at the hill ready to ski, rather than spending the first few weeks trying to get into ski shape.

⛷️ Strong legs. Better balance. More control. More fun.

Give Spine & Sports a call to book with our kinesiologist and start getting those skiing legs ready!

The 7 stages of joining a gym....

1. 😃 September 1….“Summer is over, it’s time to get fit“
2. 🤔 Tries every machine once.
3. 😬 Watches everyone else to figure out what they’re doing.
4. 😓 Can’t sit down after leg day.
5. 🧺 Exercise bike becomes a laundry rack.
6. 📺 Starts researching workouts instead of doing them.
7. 💪 Meets Meagan Steeves… and finally has a plan!

Sometimes working out at home is better for some people. Meagan Steeves is our Kinesiologist, and she’s the one you want to see. She’s been a Kin for nearly 10 years and we’ve been lucky to have her as part of the team for 2 years now!

The First Step: We’ve tried to make things as easy as possible for those of you that just know you need to work on your strength, balance and flexibility.

All YOU need to do is book an assessment with Meagan. All SHE needs to know is:
what you have at home (balls, bands, weights , mat)
how long you want to commit to a session (20 mins, 30 mins…)
what your goals are (balance, flexibility, strength, better posture)

The Second Step: Sometimes this can be a “One and Done“ visit. But often a follow up is suggested. Accountability is a great motivator! Plus she can add, subtract or update your program.

The Final Step: You’ve created a sustainable routine. Go you!

Think about it. Then give us a call!

Meet the “exercise snack.”

Exercise snacks are short bursts of movement sprinkled throughout your day — usually just a few minutes at a time.

Think:
• Squats while brushing your teeth
• Calf raises while waiting for the kettle
• 5 minutes of stairs
• A brisk 10-minute walk
• A few push-ups against the kitchen counter
• Standing up and sitting down 10 times before you leave your chair

These little bursts may seem insignificant, but they add up — helping maintain strength, mobility, balance and cardiovascular fitness. And perhaps the best part? There’s no changing clothes.

No gym bag.

No finding an hour in your day.

Just look for little opportunities to move more. Exercise doesn’t always need to be a workout. Sometimes it can be a snack. 😉
