Are you stuck?
Do you have stubborn aches & pains that aren't going away?
Or maybe you're frustrated with getting 'bandaid' solutions to your pain.
Or frustrated with an old injury that is keeping you sidelined in life?
If that's you, you've come to the right place.
I specialize in helping people get unstuck with stubborn aches, pains and injuries.
And how I do it is unique, effective and science based.
Moving past treating in silos
So often our bodies are looked at in compartments and individual pieces rather than being looked as a whole system.
Our bodies are amazing. Complicated. And integrated.
One part affects another, which affects another.
Assessing and treating the site of your pain is only part of the solution.
One needs to look at what is driving your pain.
Do you want to keep focusing on treating the symptoms or deal with the root cause?
Put out the smoke or the fire?
An adage I often use with patients is the idea of smoke and fire.
If you want to stop the smoke - you don’t try to contain the smoke. You go to the source. You put out the fire.
Same here.
You want someone to look for the cause of your pain.
Whole Body Evaluation
In my Whole Body Evaluations, I take a 360 degree view of your body. It doesn’t matter if you have multiple areas that are bothering you. All of it matters. I do a full body evaluation looking over how you move from head to toes.
To augment my physical evaluation, I have built (in collaboration with a physiotherapist colleague) Clinical Insights 360. Through this web based tool, we can together uncover other possible drivers that could be impacting your health, movement and function.
This innovative web tool helps you see in a simple visual format where you stand across multiple domains of health and physical function.
What's driving your pain can be more than just body tissue.
In addition to my physical examination, we will also explore these four domains:
Beliefs about Pain
Your beliefs about pain, healing and activity impact your behaviour. And research is uncovering the powerful role that our thoughts have on our nervous system functioning.
By uncovering inaccurate beliefs about pain, we can help you move with more confidence and less pain.
Sleep Experience
Sleep is important for general health and wellbeing. It has even more importance when it comes to overcoming persistent pain conditions.
The quality and quantity of your sleep can be the missing driver to overcoming pain and injury.
Activity Tolerance & Loading
Our lack of muscle strength and mobility is often labelled as the culprits for injury and ongoing pain. But even more important is how you load your tissues. If we load our tissues too much or too soon, we'll find ourselves struggling to get back to what we love.
Understanding your activity and loading behaviours will help me understand if this is driving your ongoing pain.
Personal Resiliency & Supports
The social and mental supports we have in place can make a big difference in our ability to overcome adversity and pain.
By looking at various factors relating to personal resiliency, I can better understand if this is holding back your recovery.
What You Can Expect
An in-depth evaluation experience with you at the centre.
Pre-Session Intake: The first part of my Whole Body Evaluation is completed in the comfort of your home. It consists of a series of mini-quizzes related to the domains I highlighted earlier.
In-Person Evaluation: This is then followed up with an in-person evaluation looking at your whole body movement.
At the end of the session, I will review my findings along with my recommendations regarding exercise, self-care and rehab.
Post-Session Follow-up: Following the session, I will send you a personal video message summarizing my assessment findings along with a recap of my recommendations.
Are you ready to get started?
I'd love the opportunity to help you on your journey to better health.
