Jumping tips for dancers from Physiotherapist, Jana Loney:
The soleus is a muscle found in your lower calf. Although it helps point your foot at the ankle, it is especially important when absorbing the landing of a jump. Weakness in this muscle can cause a heavy landing during Grand Allegro. A heavier landing can transmit too much force into a dancer’s knees, causing knee pain. Practicing rising on demi pointe while your knee is bent can help strengthen this important muscle!

Tidbits on using the Reformer Pilates in Knee and Hip Replacement Rehab Programs

People undergoing knee and hip replacements may encounter various challenges both before and after surgery. Some of these challenges include pain, altered movement patterns, reduced strength, limited mobility, and compromised balance and coordination. Such challenges can lead to overall deconditioning and may prevent people from participating in daily activities andactivities they enjoy. It is crucial to address these challenges through rehabilitation programs.

Reformer Pilates is a low impact form of exercise that focuses on slow and controlled movements to help improve strength, range of motion, balance, and coordination. It involves the use of a specialized equipment called a “reformer”. The reformer consists of a sliding carriage attached to springs, pulleys, straps, and a foot bar. The spring system is used to control the load and resistance used in each exercise. Reformer Pilates enables people to exercise in different positions while using the support of the reformer and its various pieces of equipment to ensure safety and comfort. Reformer Pilates’ versatility ensures programs are individualized by tailoring exercises to persons’ strength and abilities throughout the different stages of their rehabilitation journey.

Reformer Pilates can help with recovery from hip or knee replacements by:
- Providing low-impact exercises, reducing stress on joints during gentle movements incorporated in rehab programs pre- and post-surgery.
- Focusing on flexibility and range of motion to maintain and improve mobility both before and after surgery.
- Offering controlled resistance to strengthen muscles around the replaced joint, enhancing support and stability.
- Emphasizing the mind-body connection, promoting mindfulness to minimize
compensatory movements and to enhance the connection between the nervous system and muscles.
- Using adjustable resistance to customize exercises for rehabilitation goals.

Thank you to all our beautiful clients, family members and friends in the community who helped to make this year’s Christmas gift drive our biggest success yet!

We assembled incredible gifts for ten different women and their 18 kids who are spending the holidays at BraveStone Centre, a safe home for those escaping intimate partner violence.

While staying at BraveStone, women and children are provided with full time counselling and support services as they enter into their healing journey, taking those critical steps forwards towards positive change.

📸 Camilla and Logan, our newest physiotherapist additions to staff and Lucy, Santa’s helper extraordinaire, seated among the boxes and bags of unsorted donations.

📸 donations sorted into families and ready for delivery! Santa will be getting some functional strength training in when he pops by to pick these gifts up!
