Instagram post 18106889602055641 Absolutely epic! It took a group of 41 pace setters, an entire support team, a pace car, years of training and an absolutely gifted human to finally break the 2 hour marathon mark. “I am running to make history, to show that no human is limited. It's not about money, it's about showing a generation of people that there are no limits”. Always amazing what the human body & mind can achieve.

While it may be painful to bend and lift with back pain, it's important to develop the mobility and strength so you can bend and lift. Many types of exercise, including weight training, can bring great benefits. A physiotherapist can help⁠⠀ develop a program that's developed just for you, to help you start moving safely. ⁠⠀ -⁠⠀ 👇👇⁠⠀ Ask The PT Expert is designed to help you find answers to your fitness or injury-related questions you may have.

Instagram post 18081328915128742 [Blog Alert] 3 REASONS THE ACHILLES TENDON IS AMAZING⁠ ⁠ Undoubtedly the most well-known tendon is the Achilles tendon, which travels about 6 inches to link the calf muscles (gastrocnemius, soleus) to the heel.⁠ ⁠ Here are 3 reasons why the Achilles tendon is amazing 👇⁠ ⁠ 1️⃣ It can support multiple times an individual’s bodyweight⁠ 2️⃣It makes walking and running much easier and more efficient (up to 75% more) ⁠ 3️⃣The length of this tendon is related to maximum vertical jump and running speeds⁠ (Bonus) It’s named after a figure in Greek mythology⁠

Instagram post 17844400783635380 What is a concussion and what should we do? 💥⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ A concussion is defined as a traumatic brain injury caused by biomechanical forces. Simply- a concussion is a traumatic brain injury caused by a jolt of the head or the body that causes the brain to ‘bounce’ inside the skull. This sudden movement of the brain can cause microscopic structural damage to the brain with some cell death, as well as some changes in your brains chemistry.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Potential concussion signs:⁠⠀ - Any loss of consciousness⁠⠀ - Impact seizures/ posturing of limbs⁠⠀ - Slow to get up following a hit/fall⁠⠀ - Motor coordination or balance problems (stumbling, trips, falls etc.)⁠⠀ - A blank or vacant look⁠⠀ - Disorientation⁠⠀ - Amnesia⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Potential concussion symptoms:⁠⠀ - Headaches⁠⠀ - Dizziness⁠⠀ - Balance or coordination difficulties⁠⠀ - Nausea⁠⠀ - Amnesia⁠⠀ - Cognitive slowness⁠⠀ - Light or sound sensitivity⁠⠀ - Disorientation⁠⠀ - Visual disturbance⁠⠀ - Tinnitus (ears ringing)⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ To learn more about concussion treatments at Advantage Sport Medicine please visit our website.⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ yegphysio #advantagesportmedyeg #yeg #edmonton #yeggers #yegdt #concussion #concussionawareness #yegphysio #edmontonphysio #yegathlete #yeghealth @advantagesportmedyeg #alberta #wellness #yegfit #yegyoga #getfit #yegfitness #yegfit #yegfitfam #physioyeg #physiotherapyyeg #yegsport

Instagram post 17903135290368159 🎉Well said Dennene, and congrats on such a great finish! #Repost @runningdeee with ・・・ As a runner or I’m sure for any type of athlete for that matter, you dream and hope of having a “flow” race where everything just “comes together”, you feel good, happy and get the result(s) you want. This past Friday I had a “flow race” at the Lost Soul Ultra, where everything came together and I couldn’t stop smiling! Yes we have bad races and lows and we learn from them and I believe they are necessary to grow as athletes. However, when things come together, it feels great and one can’t help but smile!! I’m feeling rejuvenated from this race and I’m looking forward to fall training races in preparation for Across the Years 72 hour. #flow #whenthingscometogether #lostsoulultra #canthelpbutsmile #happyrunner #ultrarunning #grateful #mojoisback #yegphysio

Taping can be an effective strategy for prophylactic injury prevention or used when returning to sport for added support. While braces can be a great option they don’t always fit with sporting equipment. #rodeosportmedicine #typozzobonfoundation #athletictherapy #injuryprevention #sportmedicine #returntoplay

Instagram post 17860235140394216 Introducing Kacy! She will be available to book at our South Edmonton location. Kacy graduated from the University of Alberta in 2018 with a Master of Sciences in Physical Therapy. Prior to pursuing physical therapy, she received a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from the University of Calgary where she competed for the Dinos varsity wrestling team. Kacy is also a physiotherapist for the Edmonton Female Athletic Club Pandas Hockey (AFHL). Kacy has completed her vestibular training and is in the process of completing the levels of the Canadian physiotherapy association's orthopedic division. Kacy is particularly interested in sport medicine and cancer rehabilitation. She has seen first hand the positive impact physical therapy can have on an individual’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Kacy focuses on tailoring programs to ensure a holistic approach is taken to help patients meet their goals and return to the activities they enjoy. She believes a balanced program of manual therapy, therapeutic exercise and education will provide her patients with the support needed during recovery, and the rest of their lives. Outside the clinic, Kacy enjoys weightlifting, hiking, travelling, and spending time with her family and friends outdoors.
