Holiday Stretching

 


As holidays approaching, whether we celebrate or not, whether we get together or not, that lingering pain or tightness is still there.  Let's encourage each other to not become complacent of taking care of our body and our health.  Amongst the rest and holiday feasting, regular cardiovascular and stretching exercises are more important than ever.  Hopefully we can also get to do some resistance training to gain some muscle strength as well as flexibility.  

Here, we are highlighting some important stretches or range of motion exercises to lengthen our spine and reverse the tightness from sitting too long.  Let's keep moving and remember to avoid pain!

1. Neck 

  • chin tuck





2. Mid-back

  •     rotation



  •     side bending (bend your neck as well)



3. Lower back

  • extension


  • flexion (let your neck drop forward as well)


4. Hip flexor



5. Hamstrings



Merry Christmas and Happy Exercise from ours to yours!

Daily Stretching

  Stretching is so important to help us lead a healthy and pain free life.  As muscles and fascia get tight, the pressure on our joints and nerves also increases, which leads to pain.  Repetitive work nature , prolonged posture or strong force exertion could all increase tension in our muscular and fascial systems.  Aging itself can cause tightness in our tissues as well.  To prevent the tightness from becoming pain, we need to stretch!  Everyday.  Even three sessions a day to allow our tightened structures to stay lengthened.   My favourite daily stretch Physiotherapists will do a detailed full body muscle length and strength testing to see where you are tight and weak.  Then we can design a personalized targeted stretching and strengthening program for you.  It is not the same as doing yoga or pilates but it will prepare you to participate in yoga or pilates classes without risk of getting injured.  With progression, the personalized exercise program will assist you to partic

Elbow pain

Have you heard of Golfer's elbow  (medial epicondylitis) or Tennis elbow  (lateral epicondylitis)?  Elbow pain is another common pain people have.  We certainly see a lot of it at our practice.  The funny thing is Golfer's elbow is rarely resulted from playing golf and tennis elbow is rarely resulted from playing tennis.  Of course any racket sport can cause upper extremity pain but the most common causes of the elbow pain we see is from lifting and computer use .   We need to address ergonomics for both causes of lifting and computer use.  Lifting technique with good posture control is important and can easily be practiced prior to return to work or daily activity.  Computer use ergonomics can be a bit more complicated due to it involving more than one items, i.e. computer, desk, chair, keyboard and the mouse.  Physiotherapists can help  you to arrange your work station that is safe for you to prevent repetitive injuries.   Just like any pain, we need to address the issue

My Experience as a Student Physiotherapist at Freedom in Movement Physiotherapy

Image
Hi everyone, My name is Sarah, and I am a second-year physiotherapy student from the University of Toronto in my last week of my final internship of the two-year MScPT program. I have been completing my last 6-week clinical internship at Freedom in Movement Physiotherapy and Wellness Centre, and over my time here and my other placements, have learned several lessons that I want to share. Ever since I was young, I knew I wanted to pursue a career in physiotherapy. However, in my third year of my undergraduate degree when it came time to start thinking about applying to physio school, I found myself filled with a lot of self-doubt and uncertainty about whether I could get into the very competitive master’s program. The reason I mention this is because I am now experiencing similar feelings as I complete the program and enter my career as a physiotherapist. I am feeling excited and hopeful, but also am experiencing self-doubt about my ability to be a competent clinician. With that being
