Time for another Term Tip Tuesday!

✨Deficit✨

A deficit in Physiotherapy refers to a functional impairment or limitation in a person's physical abilities, such as strength, range of motion, balance, coordination, or endurance, that affects their ability to perform daily activities or participate in desired activities. This deficit may be caused by injury, illness, or a chronic condition.

Physiotherapy interventions aim to address and improve the deficit through targeted exercises, manual therapy, education, and other modalities.

Making sure to do your at home excerises and come in for regularly scheduled treatments is the best way to work through the deficit.

With the warmer weather, more and more people are getting outside and running which we LOVE to see ♥️

What we don't love to see is runners in pain! Shin splints can be one of the most painful and frustrating injuries for runners to deal with.

👉 What causes shin splints?
Generally, caused by overuse or repetitive stress on the lower leg and its connective tissues. This can result in inflammation and pain along the shinbone, which can be exacerbated by factors such as flat feet or high arches, improper footwear, or poor running technique.

👉 What are the symptoms?
Shin splints are characterized by tenderness and inflammation along the lower leg's inner edge, which can make it challenging to walk or run without experiencing pain. Pain may be felt in one or both legs and often occurs after physical activity, especially running.

👉 How to manage shin splints?
Rest and recovery are essential in managing shin splints. The first step is generally to take a break from running or any activity that aggravates the condition. However, we can help you determine the best plan to manage your injury at your first assessment. Sometimes, we can find a way to keep you running while also getting you better using other rehabilitative techniques. Applying ice to the area can also help reduce inflammation. Stretching and strengthing excerises for the lower leg muscles can aid in preventing the recurrence.

Pro-tip: Incorporating low impact activities like swimming or cycling can help maintain fitness levels while allowing your shins to recover.

Golf season is officially in full swing! How is that for a cheesy pun? 🏌️‍♂️

So here is another Get Golf-Ready with Drew post!

Today's tip:
Work on your balance!

Based on data from the Titleist Performance Institute, high level golfers can hold their balance standing on one leg with their eyes closed for at least 15 seconds. That's the goal.

If you are holding a balanced finish position, maybe your playing partners are less likely to notice you've snap hooked another drive into the trees 😉

Balance gets better with reps. Simple as that. Eyes open and eyes closed both help.

Stand on one foot while brushing your teeth or while pouring a cup of coffee (keep your eyes open for that one). Add small body and arm movements or stand on something soft for more challenge. Practice, practice, practice.

Alisha is one of our dedicated Physiotherapists, our Pelvic Health Physiotherapist, and our Certified Lymphedema Therapist. She’s been part of the Inertia family for 4 years, and we’re so lucky to have her!

Alisha chose to specialize in Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy because she’s passionate about women’s health. She loves educating women on the fact that many common concerns, whether related to aging, pregnancy, postpartum changes, or menopause, are treatable. These issues are common, but they are not something you simply have to “live with.” There are solutions, and she’s here to help.

Most recently, Alisha expanded her skill set even further by earning her certification as a Certified Lymphedema Therapist. This allows her to provide specialized treatments, including manual lymphatic drainage, to better support both musculoskeletal and pelvic health needs.

If you have been thinking about booking your appointment to take care of your Pelvic Health, now is the time!

Let's talk all about your initial visit to the clinic today! We want to ensure your first visit and every visit after is wonderful! We try to go above and beyond for each client.

👉 Booking - First we need to book your assessment or first massage: if it is your first Physio or Acupuncture appointment make sure it is booked as a New Assessment and not a treatment. Don't worry, all new assessments also receive their first treatment. The new assessment appointment ensures you have enough time with your therapist. Your first massage can be booked for the length you feel most comfortable with - 30, 45, 60 or 90 minute massage!

👉 Intake form - now that your appointment is booked the next step is our intake form! You will get one of these emailed to you whenever you are doing a new service at our clinic. Each service has different intake questions, so please make sure you complete each form that our system sends you. These forms are to give your therapist all of the information they need of your medical history, purpose for seeking therapy, and any goals you may have.

👉 Check in with the front desk - Our front desk staff is amazing and will guide you through any other steps you may need to take before seeing your therapist. This is a great chance to add any insurance you might have so our receptionists can take care of that for you.

👉 The assessment - Your therapist will go over your intake form with you and discuss the reason for your visit. They will then fully assess your pain or injury, determining any underlying causes. They will provide education on their findings and provide recommendations for home.

👉 Treatment plan - You and your therapist will then discuss a treatment plan based on your needs and goals. You will also get your first hands on manual treatment.

👉 Pre-book - As you are leaving, we recommend that you pre-book your next appointment with our lovely front desk staff, to ensure that we fully get to the bottom of your pain/injury.

A question we get often is what is the difference between Acupuncture and Dry Needling?

They both involve inserting needles into the skin. Dry Needling is primarily used to target trigger points in muscles for pain relief. Acupuncture is based on Traditional Chinese Medicine principles and aims to rebalance the body's energy flow.

👉Dry Needling: In dry needling, the needle is inserted and positioned up and down over the area of the trigger point. The goal is to release the trigger points by getting the muscle to “twitch”. This twitch response reduces the pain chemicals and signals in the area and opens the muscle up for increased bloodflow. This change in the muscle can decrease overall pain, restore muscle function and range of motion.

👉 The acupuncture points are places where muscles, connective tissue, and nerves can be stimulated. The needles create “micro-traumas” that spontaneously cause the body’s natural ability to heal by promoting blood flow and releasing endorphins (natural painkillers). People generally don’t feel the insertion of the needles at all. There may be a dull ache or tingle that quickly fades. The needles are left in for up to twenty minutes. Acupuncture can relax shortened muscles, releasing pressure on joint structures, tendons and nerves. It also reduces both the intensity and perception of chronic pain.

Physiotherapists who perform acupuncture or dry needling have taken advanced post-graduate courses and are “rostered” with the College of Physiotherapy in addition to being registered. We also have our in house Traditional Chinese Medicine Acupuncturist, Lei, who is well versed in Acupuncture.

Golf season is here and Drew is ready!

Time for another Get-Golf Ready with Drew post! Today's post is all in the hips. Rory McIlroy's hips rotate at almost 720 degrees/second!

Hips, very similar to our thoracic spine, aren't brought through a full range of motion as often as they should be. If your joints can't explore full range, you can't hope to improve strength or flexibility to their potential either.

In the golf swing, both hips are brought into internal and external rotation in quick succession as you rotate. If this range is limited when you are focused on it, there is no chance your body will perform it well with speed. There is no wrong way to work hip mobility, as long as it doesn't cause pain.

👉 start with sitting in a chair fully supported and your knees together. Keeping you knees touching, separate your ankles as far as you are comfortable. Hold 2 seconds, 10x.

Want a goal? "Normal" is 40cm from ankle to ankle.

👉 Progress to sitting on your bum on the floor, hands supporting you, and feet flat on the floor a little wider apart than your hips. Let both knees fall in the same direction, trying to touch the floor. Hold for just a second and go the other way. Repeat 10 times each direction.

Its mid-way through May now, how many times do you think Drew has played golf? Comment your guesses below 👇
