Physiotherapy:  Exercises for you!

Our physiotherapy section is here for our patients, as it is an extension of the clinical work we are engaged in with them.  However, it is open to anyone interested, and we are happy you’re here!   Inactivity is our common enemy.  Movement is our ally.  We hope you find something here that gets more movement into your life.

All links below should be considered a departure point…a place to start exploring for yourself, rather than the only ideas you’ll ever need.  This area of our website is an invitation from us to you to begin and/or continue your movement toward better strength and mobility…and better general health as a result.  

LEGAL:  Whether you are a patient of ours or not, your use of this portion of our site constitutes your acknowledgment that you do so of your own volition and at your own risk.  The presence of the links below does not constitute a recommendation or prescription.    We recommend working with a trained professional - even if it’s not one of ours!!  

And if you want/need some help, give us a call and set up an appointment.  WE LOVE HELPING!!

Strengthening mid-back

February 27, 2024

This is a great exercise for strengthening your back.  If you get those burning sensations between your shoulder blades, then you might try this approach.  Usually, as Michael says, it’s lengthening the muscles in the front and strengthening the muscles of the upper back.

Playing footsies…for better balance…

This exercise is a little tricky to master…as Dr Dan states.  Take your time and just work at completing with your toes relaxed.

Rotator cuff exercises + fun facts…

November 17, 2023

This is a great video.  Exercises that can be helpful.  Also, some education about the rotator cuff itself.  Make sure to take it easy…to the edge of discomfort, but not into pain.  If these or any exercises on our blog are new to you and/or it’s been a while since you’ve pushed yourself to try something new, take it easy.   Modify, modify, modify.  Do a fraction of the recommended reps and sets, then give yourself some time to see how you feel.
