As we get ready to start our 2026/2027 season, we want to give one more big thank you to our sponsors from last season. THANK YOU!! We wouldn’t get the opportunity to do what we do without our sponsors and we are so appreciative 🫶🏻

This course is built to take BFR beyond the basics, combining clinical reasoning, safety principles, and hands-on application so you can use it with more confidence in practice.

🏫EDUCATION🏫
.
Over the past several months, I’ve taken on a number of educational endeavours, both inside and outside of the clinic.
.
Each experience reminded me of the same thing: we all get better when we share what we know.🤝
.
Slides 1-3 🩸
.
I had the chance to present on Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training for the @ubc_pt Ortho Club. We covered the benefits, physiology, safety, and clinical application of BFR.
.
Slides 4-5 🖥️
.
I delivered a lecture on post-op bunion correction rehab for an undergraduate kinesiology course. It was cool to be able to walk through a real case study from initial presentation all the way to return to sport for students who are eager to pursue careers in rehab.
.
Slide 6 🇸🇬
.
Meet my man Zhen, a physiotherapist from Singapore, who spent 6 weeks @footbridgephysiotherapy with me to see how a multidisciplinary orthopaedic model operates in Canada. It was a pleasure having him with us.
.
Slide 7 👀
.
The big one! I’ve officially launched my BFR course through @physio.forward ⏩️ - an education platform for physiotherapists who are ready to elevate their impact. BFR has become instrumental in my daily clinical practice over the past few years, so I’m excited to share how it can help improve patient outcomes through this course.
.
Never stop learning. 🤓

I grew into myself this last 1/2 of Block D! 🌱

🎤I co-hosted my first event as @bc_physio Student Director! Private Practice Night gave me honest insights and got me excited about the prospects and variety of working in private. I’m stoked for Public Practice Night!

🧠 I pushed myself to learn beyond the classroom by attending workshops led by @footbridgephysiotherapy and @runready.io!

🤸🏻‍♂️I got to experience beautiful Powwow dance styles from co-hosting + participating in @ubcrec’s Powwow Dance Class with Nyla Bedard as the kick-off to #UBCThrive. The demand for calf endurance and interlimb coordination? So real! 🔥 I was buzzing the entire day from seeing and dancing with former co-workers, friends, and even the MPT1s, MPT2s and faculty (thank you for coming! 🥹)

🤕 I injured my back badly + had to play patient at @the.physiolab! I returned too quickly to deadlifting following my summer back injury and the acute back pain that followed was scary. It was a humbling chance for me to respect the stages of tissue healing, inquire about my PT’s clinical reasoning, and apply pain science to avoid catastrophizing‼️

🏃🏻‍♀️I got so inspired by training alongside my classmates and seeing them cross finish lines, that I ended up signing up for my first full marathon with @bmovanmarathon. Running is so contagious in community!!!

🔜 Level 2A at Outpatients & Hand Therapy at VGH!
