Standing strength work with a purpose 💪

Using the standing frame for support, this exercise focuses on resisted back extensions with added resistance from the cage pulleys.

Working in standing helps challenge:

🧠 Postural control & body awareness
💪 Back and core strength
⚖️ Balance and upright tolerance
🔄 Controlled movement against resistance
🧍 Activation through the trunk and hips

Adding the pulley resistance increases the demand on the posterior chain, helping build the strength and endurance needed for standing, transfers, and overall posture throughout the day.

🍪 WE DID IT! 🍪

Together, Regina raised a record breaking $233,620.41 during this year’s Tim Hortons Smile Cookie campaign in support of First Steps Wellness Centre and SOFIA House!

Of that total, First Steps Wellness Centre will receive 60% — $140,172.25 — which will directly support our programs and services for individuals living with neurological conditions in our community.

We are incredibly grateful to every single person who purchased a cookie, volunteered their time, shared our posts, placed pre-orders, or helped spread the word throughout the week. The support from this community was truly overwhelming, and this campaign would not have been possible without all of you.

A huge thank you to the Tim Hortons owners, staff, and everyone behind the scenes who worked so hard to make Smile Cookie Week such a success 🍪✨

This funding will help support important programs and services right here in our community, and we couldn’t be more thankful to be part of something so impactful.

Regina, thank you for showing up in such a BIG way 💥
