Lethbridge—we've been building something.

A space for runners.
For athletes.
For active families.
For people who want more than a quick fix.

A clinic built around movement, performance, and building resilient humans.

Featuring Run Assessments, Bike Fits, Concussion & Vestibular Rehabilitation, Pelvic Physiotherapy 2.0, and more.

The Movement Lab opens this September in West Lethbridge.

We're excited to show you what we've been creating.

See you soon. 👋 by @themovementlabphysio

Things that haunt physios 👻

We laugh because we hear versions of these all the time. 😂

And usually, the answer isn’t “you did something wrong” — it’s that there’s a little more nuance than the rule, assumption or shortcut you were given.

So yes:
• runners need to strength train
• pregnancy doesn’t come with automatic trimester-based exercise restrictions
• leaking isn’t just something you have to accept
• feeling better doesn’t always mean the rehab is finished (in fact it's usually just one of the first milestones)

Happy Halloween from The Lab. 👻

We’re growing The Lab — and looking for the right massage therapist to grow with us.

We’re looking for someone who enjoys working with active people, values collaboration + great communication, and wants the freedom to build their practice in a modern, movement-focused clinic.

You’ll have your own private treatment space, the opportunity to work alongside our physio team, and room to build something that feels like your own.

If that sounds like your kind of place, we’d love to hear from you.

Pregnancy often changes how exercise feels.

But that doesn't mean you need to stop doing it—sometimes you just need to make some adjustments in order to keep going.

That might look like:
- reducing your range of motion
- changing where you carry the load
- reducing the weight you're using
- adjusting your stance, position or set up
- changing breathing strategies

And sometimes? You don't need to change anything at all.

The research is quite clear: there isn't one global set of "pregnancy modifications" or "trimester specific exercises" every woman has to do because she is pregnant.

(Of course there are some symptoms + pregnancy complications that need more than simple modifications—that's where individualized guidance and support really comes in.)

Every pregnancy is different. Every woman is different.

The goal is to keep moving, keep training, and adapt when you need to.
If something feels good, keep doing it. If it doesn't, you've got options.

Some things just win.

In rehab, we’ll always take progression over perfection, capacity over avoidance, individualized care over blanket rules - and building what lasts over chasing the quick fix.

That’s the kind of rehab we believe in 🖤

Running more isn’t the only way to become a better runner.

Strength training alongside running has been shown to improve running economy + performance — particularly when we include heavier loading, plyometric work, or a combination of training methods.

So when mileage drops, these are a few of the qualities we want to be building:

* single-leg strength — because running is a repeated single-leg task
* calf capacity — to prepare the calf complex for thousands of repeated contacts
* elastic capacity — plyometric work can help the muscle-tendon system store + return energy efficiently
* maximal strength — heavier strength training can improve running economy without simply adding more miles

None of these are magic exercises or a universal checklist.

They’re qualities we can build alongside your running to better prepare you for the demands of the sport.

The miles are only part of the training. Build what supports them.

Well, that was fun. 🖤

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by The Movement Lab this weekend to celebrate with us!

When we started building TML, we had a vision of creating something a little different. A space where movement, performance, and community could come together.

We’re incredibly grateful for the support we’ve received as we get this little dream of ours off the ground.

A special thank you to the local businesses who helped make the day a little more memorable @fortmatcha @runnersoulleth @novawellness.yql @kineticyql @thecoeurclub. We love getting to celebrate the incredible businesses in our community.

We’re just getting started, Lethbridge.

Here’s to building resilient humans. Together.

A jump can tell us a lot more than how high you get off the ground.

Force production, how quickly you can produce that force, landing and force absorption, side-to-side differences - and that’s only part of the picture.

Want to try it yourself?

Come test out the ForceDecks at our Open House this Saturday.

Your 6-week check-up is important. But it isn’t a return-to-run test.

Getting back to running postpartum isn’t about reaching one magic week. It’s about looking at the whole picture — recovery, symptoms, strength + capacity, impact tolerance, your training history and where you want to get back to.

The goal isn’t to hold you back from running. It’s to help you build back to it in a way that makes sense for your body + your goals.

Not sure if you’re ready yet? That’s exactly what we can help you figure out.

Postpartum assessments with Morgan are available now.
