Meet Julia! 👋

Julia is a first year Masters of Physical Therapy student currently doing her practicum at the ASM St. Albert clinic.

Here’s a bit about Julia!

I grew up on Vancouver Island, BC and after finishing high school I travelled for several years before completing my Bachelors of Science in Kinesiology from the University of Lethbridge. After graduating I moved to Fernie, BC where I was lucky to pursue many sports such as snowboarding, mountain biking, backcountry hiking and rock climbing. These sports are very fun and exciting (but pretty high risk!) and I saw lots of injuries occur in myself and my friends. Through this I was able to see the incredibly positive impact that Physical Therapy has on helping everyone return to their passions! I decided to return to school to complete my Masters so that I can be a part of that team!

In my free time you can find me at the gym, running or biking in the river valley, cooking up big batches of new recipes to share with my roommates or friends, or heading back to Fernie to keep trying fun new sports! #yeg #yegphysio #yegphysicaltherapy #yeglift #yeghealthandwellness #yeghealth #yegathlete #edmontonlife #edmontonathlete #stalbert #stalbertphysio #stalbertfitness #physicaltherapy #physio #edmonton #student

Introducing Tannis!

This week, we welcome physiotherapy student Tannis to the ASM south clinic.

Here’s a bit about Tannis:

I grew up in here in Edmonton on the south side area. I started my post-secondary journey at MacEwan University and completed my Bachelor of Kinesiology degree at the U of A in 2019. After that I worked in clinic as a Kinesiology for a year when I decided to pursue my Master of Science in Physical Therapy. I chose this career because I have always been passionate about helping people reach their goals and growing up as an athlete directed me to this field.

In my spare time when I’m not doing schoolwork you can find me in the mountains, camping, or hanging with family and friends.

Welcome Tannis! 👊🏽 #yeg #yegphysio #yegphysicaltherapy #yeglift #yeghealthandwellness #yeghealth #yegathlete #edmontonlife #edmontonathlete #stalbert #stalbertphysio #stalbertfitness #physicaltherapy #physio #edmonton #student

What are Hypopressives? 🤔

The term ‘HYPOpressive’ refers to a reduction in pressure. Hypopressives are a form of exercise that aim to increase core strength while reducing pressure to the thoracic, abdominal, and pelvic cavities thereby reducing the risk of injury caused by increased pressure to these areas. The breathing component of hypopressives not only targets the core musculature but has also been seen to:

* Decrease low back pain
* Improve posture and balance
* Promote healthy circulation
* Reduce the risk of pelvic floor dysfunction and associated conditions
* Reduce the risk of hernias
* Reduce stress and anxiety level

At Advantage Sport Medicine, many of our therapists, including our Athletic Therapist Carrie are trained in hypopressives.

Carrie will be welcoming patients back in clinic beginning Tuesday, February 15!

To learn more about hypopressives or to book with Carrie, give us a call!
