Check out this month’s upcoming talks:

April 17, 2019: Manual Therapy – Spring Back into Action!

This hands on manual workshop will focus on helping you treat and prevent muscle aches that occur post everyday activities such as exercise, desk work, sports, and so much more! Our Chriopractic and Physiotherapy team will manually show you some great approaches to alleviate and relieve your pains in our signature one-on-one mini session.

Additionally, special guest Chiropodist, Amanda Birch will be offering mini-gait assessments. Lower back or hip pain that you just can’t shake? Maybe it’s your feet! Come by and have a gait assessment done to help you see what your feet are doing when you walk and what changes you can make to put that pep back in your step.

April 25, 2019: Concussions & Vertigo – How to make it through your workweek

Join Sarah Hull, Registered Physiotherapist, trained in concussion and vertigo assessment and treatment, for this engaging discussion on Concussion and Vertigo.

If you have suffered a concussion in the past and are still dealing with symptoms such as headache, dizziness, sensitivity to light and sound, nausea, fatigue, fogginess, you might be dealing with post-concussion syndrome. Some of these symptoms can last longer than 7-10 days and can be treated with physiotherapy. It is crucial to manage concussions promptly and appropriately until complete recovery to avoid reinjury.

During this talk, Sarah will also be discussing vertigo. Vertigo is a specific form of dizziness that is caused by vestibular/inner ear dysfunction that feels like a sensation of the world spinning around them and can cause nausea, poor balance, headaches, etc.

Sometimes these two conditions happen together and often the symptoms are quite similar!

Topics covered:

• what concussion and vertigo are

• what symptoms to look for with concussion and vertigo

• what the current protocol is for treatment for concussion and vertigo

• what return to play and return to work protocols look like
