Collegiate Sports Medicine

Happy Wednesday Everyone! With everything going on in the world right now, we need to remember to not only be kind to others, but to be kind to ourselves. It’...s very easy to compare ourselves to others, and point out how much more everyone else is doing. This can be anything from where others are in their career, in their personal lives, or with their exercise regimes. Exercise can be a very daunting subject for many clients. Many people mistakenly believe that if they don’t get a full hour of strength and cardio in, they haven’t properly worked out, and if you don’t have time to do a full workout, then what’s the point? The point is that it’s not about some ideal perfect workout, sometimes it’s about the little choices throughout the day. Start small, make the right choices, and start forming those habits. But most of all, whatever choice you make; be kind to yourself. Just remember, something is better than nothing. And sometimes a bubble bath is just as good for your mental health as a walk is. Take care of yourselves

Brook has been a Medical Office Assistant (Receptionist) for us for a total of three years since March. Her anniversary was March 18th, the day after we shut down for COVID, and now that we have been back in the trenches we wanted to stop to recognize her anniversary. Brook has been busy being an incredible Mom and also works for us part-time. She has had time off with us over the years to have her family but we are honored she has chosen to come back each time to re-joi...n our team! Brook has a great laugh and is welcoming at the front desk. Mostly you will notice how efficient she is at her job. Wow! She works at both the Campus and Downtown clinics here in Red Deer & is able to juggle both clinics policies and does it like a rock star! Thank you Brook for all you bring to our team.

Happy 2nd Anniversary to one of our amazing front end staff members, Jessica! When Jessica isn't taking care of MVA's like a Rockstar, you can find her baking, snuggling animals, or being an incredible mom to her 3 kids. Thank you for all you do, Jessica, the Collegiate Team is lucky to have you around! Happy Anniversary!

Sunday-not-so-Funday for Melanie Tuck today. Unfortunately Mel now fully understands the feeling VERTIGO. She stretched in bed first thing this morning and immediately felt intense spinning and nausea. It resolved not too long after sitting up and so she laid back down. Boom. Spinning was back. BPPV of the horizontal canal was confirmed this afternoon and now she's back on the mend at home. Thank you to our amazing team of Vestibular Therapists that were able to give her ad...vice virtually, and to Rob Manca who was able to do a house call and perform the assessment. Did you know that we have multiple Vestibular Therapists who are all trained to help assess and treat specific deficits in the balance or vestibular system? ...at our downtown location (Candace Elliott, Ciara Wallin, and Rob Manca) at our Campus clinic Mat Boyd & Dr David Hardy to name a few. https://collegiatesportsmedicine.ca//vestibular-rehabilit/ Feel Better soon Mel #therapywithresults #wecare #vestibulartherapy #bppv

Why do we pay homage on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month? Remembrance Day, our national day to pay respect to the devotion of the 1,500,000 Canadian men and women who have served and more than 118,000 who have been sacrificed, to foster peace in all international conflicts since the First World War. For 102 years now, every November 11th, Canada and other nations around the globe commemorate the day the Armistice of the First World War was signed.... On November 11, 1918, at 11 o’clock, Paris, France time, the Armistice, between Germany and the Allies, was signed to mark the end of the Great War, World War I. Remembrance Day is also called Armistice Day in other countries, in and out, of the Commonwealth. In the United States, it is referred to as Veteran’s Day. In May 1915, John McCrae, a Guelph, Ontario native, who served as a doctor in the Royal Canadian Army Corps, wrote In Flanders Fields. In his poem, the Major who became Lieutenant-Colonel describes the first sign of life after death; blood coloured blossoms on soldiers’ graves. To this day, poppies still grow on the battlefields of Flanders. In 1918, two days before Armistice, after reading Dr. McCrae’s poem, Ms. Moina Belle Michael, an American teacher on duty at the 25th Conference of the Overseas Y.M.C.A. Secretaries, pledged and campaigned for poppy wearing as a symbol to keep the faith with all who died. At the end of the First World War, Madame Guérin, a French woman, also inspired by the poem and furthermore by Ms. Moine’s movement, suggested that poppies be manufactured and sold to benefit the wives and orphaned children of fallen soldiers. Poppies were first distributed to Canada in 1921. https://www.warmuseum.ca/remembrance-day/#/ #weremember #remembranceday #werememberthem
