We spent a good session looking at movement restriction and choosing relevant exercises for our patients. Exercise prescription is based on a lot of factors, and our clinical team is expanding our knowledge of how people move, and how they can move better!

We are excited to welcome Registered Physiotherapist Peter Hartley to our team! Peter is a born and raised Londoner and a Western University graduate. He brings a wide range of tools and techniques including manual therapy, concussion management, and management of vestibular conditions. He also trains as a recreational powerlifter and loves anything to do with a barbell. Peter’s passion is striving to help people realize their strength potential. He takes great responsibil...ity in providing people with honest care. The best part? He makes the process fun! He takes a page out of Patch Adams’ philosophy of wellness and tries his best to leave you laughing! He tailors a program and treatment to optimize your personal recovery. Outside of physio, he likes playing disc golf and slow pitch. You can catch Peter starting this Friday with us. Welcome! #ldnont #519london #londonontario #londonlife

Great work Dan!

In 1979 pain was described as an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage and was criticized for being heavily focused on tissue injury and individuals' ability to describe their pain. How Can We Define Pain in 2020? Pain is "an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with, or resembling that associated with, actual or potential tissue damage." ... This updated definition is supported by a few key points that are important to recognize in clinical practice. 1. Pain is always a personal experience that is influenced to varying degrees by biological, psychological, and social factors. 2. Pain isnt just about what happens inside sensory neurons. 3. Through their life experiences, individuals learn the concept of pain. 4. A person's report of an experience as pain should be respected. 5. Although pain usually serves an adaptive role, it may have adverse effects on function and social and psychological well-being. As pain science evolves, so should our interaction with it in clinical practice. #pain #painscience #biopsychosocial #519london #ldnont #ldnontario #londonontario

Saturday morning coffee and an exciting piece of research about optimizing training load in runners is always welcome. Part of our Runlab at Physiohaus involves assessing your load on your body during training. Load management is part of every sport and new running research looks at different types of load.... Instead of just mileage, we can evaluate minutes run per session x your perceived score of difficulty. As we all know, every 30 minute run doesnt feel the same to our body. Sleep, work, and family stresses can make one run that is typically a 5/10 for you feel like an 8/10. Heart rate snap shots during a persons day and during the run can also give an idea of how hard a system is working throughout the day. Stressors and biophysiological markers that clinicians can measure may be part of why a 5 k training program isnt going as planned. There may be more to the hamstring injury than just adding too much mileage too fast. Taking physical load (external load) and psychological and physiological (internal load) factors into consideration versus just the typical mileage per week is important when keeping our runners healthy, optimizing performance or returning from injury. While the research community studies metrics and validates them, clinicians can apply advanced knowledge about internal load assessment with their runners. This will give us a better picture of true load on the patient during training. #run #running #injury #injuryrecovery #biomarkers #loadmanagement #ldnont #ldnontario #519london

Can you reuse a disposable mask? How many times? While cloth masks are designed to be washed and reused, most medical-style disposable masks are officially designed for a single use especially in higher-risk environments. Between uses, consider leaving a disposable mask in a paper bag for at least three days if you plan to re-use.... If you are using cloth masks, think about purchasing 5-7 masks. In some cases, these masks may need to be changed mid-day...especially if soiled. For children returning to school, consider 2 masks a day. Can you clean a disposable mask between uses? Yes. Medical-style disposable masks can be steamed or exposed to sunlight to kill the virus faster. Experts don't recommend using cleaners or especially disinfectants on such masks, as you could end up breathing them in the next time you use it. Of course, for cloth masks, washing in the laundry (in hot water) is the most effective, and easiest thing to do. As masks become a bigger part of daily life, you'll probably need more of them like socks and underwear. Reusable cloth masks are generally recommended for day-to-day use. Once you find a good, snug fit, stock up and stay safe! #masks #covid19 #ldnont #519ldn

We are usually a scheduled family. Our change in schedule over the last 4 months has brought a welcomed amount of bonus time with family...but our typical workout schedule @centrebranchymca is on pause. Seeing parents out at parks with their kids is a great reminder of how we can be creative to sneak a workout in. Here are 5 ideas to add to your creative collection of workouts.... 1. Take some climbing rope or a Trx outside and work off of a low tree branch. You can do multi-angle rows and presses with this idea. 2. Bring your yoga mat to a schoolyard and work on a push-up and core series while kids run and free play. 3. No mat? Try walking lunges around the play equipment! 4. If your child needs more direct supervision, try some static holds in a squat position while they play on slides. 5. Monkey bars - great for adults too! Turn these into pull ups...or hook your feet in and turn them into body weight pull ups (similar to bent over row). While you might not have access to a 45 min continuous workout, you can mix in small cycles of focused activity while outside (or while doing PPE inventory at Physiohaus)! #exercise #movement #healthy #makeitfun #intervals #functionaltraining

Nicole has 2 spots available...book online to secure your spot. #ldnont #519london #massage #cupping

Spending some time with @ontarioparks this summer? Are you planning a trip that requires a few portages to get to a favourite lake? While we cant carry your gear for you, here are a few tips to help you work smarter this outdoor season! 1. Footwear: Choose supportive shoes that give you control for the unexpected roots, drops and rocks that are on your path. 2. Pad the yolk of your canoe for portaging any appreciable distance. We picked ours up for $15 @mec !... 3. When packing heavy loads, choose a pack that distributes weight between your waist and shoulders. 4. Use your sleeping mat to take time to move and stretch during your day. 5. Dont underestimate your need for water! Its not every day that we carry heavy loads for 30min-1.5 hrs and spend the rest of the day in the sun paddling. Keeping hydrated and well nourished can help keep you working at your best all day! Our clinical team hopes that you have time to spend in our parks this season - its beautiful out there! #ldnont #519ldn #londonontariocanada #519london #londonontario #hike #paddle #camping #killarneyprovincialpark

Really great to see local names in one of our favourite journal publications! If you read the July 2020 issue of JOSPT, you can learn about an International Delphi Study (expert consensus) about posterior shoulder instability (PSI). These experts agreed that the clinical presentation, management strategy, and outcome expectations differ for traumatic, microtraumatic, and atraumatic PSI. Their recommendations give clinicians a framework to consider and ultimately enhance c...linical outcomes! #universityofwesternontario #physicaltherapy #physiotherapy #physio #jospt #shoulder #stability
