POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Well helllooo 👋🏻⁣
⁣
I have had quite a few new faces on here lately and wanted to take a moment to reintroduce myself 💃🏻⁣
⁣
Not all physiotherapists are created equal and it’s important that you find someone who is the right fit for you in terms of skills they offer, their treatment style and of course their personality 🙆🏻‍♀️⁣
⁣
My goal with this page is to empower the working millennials who all of a sudden feel 90 years old to understand their bodies, their pains and how they can get over them. I want my pregnant and new mommas to learn about how they SHOULD feel during pregnancy and postpartum and how they can do it better. ⁣

I wanted to re-introduce myself since there are some new faces on here 🙋🏻‍♀️⁣
⁣
With the 3 year anniversary of Anchor this week, I have been having more conversations with patients about the journey it took to get here - being a young business owner in the health and wellness field with (about to be) 2 under 2 👶🏻👶🏻⁣
⁣
Going from an insecure young teen with tons of minor injuries and body dysmorhia to owning a health and wellness space where I get to teach people about their bodies, how to improve their pain and how strengthening is so empowering has been such a gift. ⁣

Millennial moms, this is your sign to start strength training 💪🏼✨⁣
⁣
We’re not just lifting weights to look good in leggings… although that is a great perk.. we’re building the strength to chase our babies, get on the floor and play, dance around the living room, carry them when they need a cuddle, and keep up with their endless energy. ⁣
⁣
Don’t forget, Strong moms get to PLAY, too. Without pain. Without leaking. Without “paying for it later.”⁣
⁣
Your workouts aren’t just for you — they’re an investment in all the little moments you don’t want to miss.⁣
⁣
Let’s get stronger for ourselves AND for the tiny humans who think we’re their whole world. ✨⁣

Are you guilty of staying in the shrimp posture? 🍤🙆🏻‍♀️

Posture is something frequently talked about by patients. Everyone thinks they have terrible posture and that it is contributing to their pain. Do you really need to overhaul your posture? Probably not. SWIPE to learn more ✨ by @wellnesswithbrittp

We love hearing about your upcoming vacations, your kids sport activities, the date you just went on and the impending drama on Thanksgiving. ⁣
⁣
Hands down the best part about being a therapist at a private clinic, not just the hot goss, but getting to be a part of your lives, stories, and all the high and lows. ⁣
⁣
Being apart of your health care team is a privilege and a gift that we do not take for granted ✨#mississaugarehab #mississaugafitness #physiolife #chirocare #youngentrepreneurs taken in Mississauga, Ontario by @wellnesswithbrittp

Keeping yourself hydrated is sometimes easier said than done, but it is VERY important in the health of your body and tissues. ⁣
⁣
Being dehydrated can: ⁣
❌irritate your bladder lining ⁣
❌create muscle spasms / cramping ⁣
❌contribute to tight muscles ⁣
⁣
The color of our pee is an easy thing to track, generally speaking it should be PALE LEMONADE, not bright yellow and not clear, there is such a thing as being too hydrated. Supplements can influence the color so if you’re concerned, ask your doc! ⁣
⁣
To know how much water you should drink for your body, because it’s not one size fits all, divide your weights in lbs in half. That is the amount of oz you should be drinking! 💧⁣
⁣
Are you close to your water intake goal? ⁣
⁣
Ps. Caffeine or alcohol act to dehydrate us so if you are calculating your water intake goals, make sure you account for the coffee! ☕️#musclepain #musclepainrelief #rehabessentials #prehab #headacheremedy taken in Mississauga, Ontario by @wellnesswithbrittp

Are any of these triggering for you ? 👀⁣
⁣
These are some of the most commonly asked devices from patients and the ones you won’t catch me doing, for good reason. ⁣
⁣
✨Weighted vest walking is all the rage, especially from mom influencers who are “fit” but don’t actually have any medical or fitness background. Walking with a weighted vest will increase your heart rate, so it has been shown to help with weight loss if it’s 10% of your body weight. However it doesn’t do anything for bone density or muscle strengthening and if you have an arthritic knee or ankle, it’ll likely just cause you pain. ⁣
⁣
✨Posture support devices don’t work - your body will find a cheat around it. Strengthening your core and back, adding in movement breaks to your day and improving your work set up is more important. ⁣
⁣
✨There are times that abdominal binders are useful postpartum (for example post c section for core support and help with functional activities) but it can add pressure to your pelvic floor increasing the risk of pelvic organ prolapse and back pain. ⁣
⁣
✨The idea of barefoot running shoes are great, and definitely a more mobile shoe is better than a rigid one. But unfortunately our environment is not designed to support this type of shoe. Aim for a flexible supportive shoe instead. ⁣
⁣
✨Cold plunging does have some benefits, however most people’s nervous systems will benefit more from a sauna than a shocking cold temperature. Especially women. ⁣

If you have searched on Pinterest for “tips traveling with a toddler and infant” and been completely overwhelmed with ideas, same. I looked at tons of lists, blogs and influencer links to help prepare me for our first hot holiday away as a family of 4, with 2 under 2 👶🏻👶🏻⁣
⁣
Let me tell you, most of those lists are outrageously long. ⁣
⁣
Aside from clothing, these are the only 6 things I felt we could not do without. ⁣
⁣
SWIPE to see all 6 items - every product is available in my Amazon storefront in my link in bio! ⁣

Keeping all the millennials humble about their hip mobility 😂⁣
⁣
For all of us 30+ year olds, hip mobility is something that becomes very important and a contributing factor to back, hip and knee pain. ⁣
⁣
Why is this relevant around this late 20/early 30 age? Because we tend to be less active with sports and activity, are driving a ton for work or kids, and have jobs where we are sitting on the computer quite a bit. ⁣
⁣
Our hips were designed to move A LOT. So when the hips stiffen up, our lower back, mid back and knees tend to take on the brunt of that immobility. So if any of these posts resonate with you, let’s get those hips moving 😂💃🏻 taken in Mississauga, Ontario by @wellnesswithbrittp

Except all my patients already know this 😉⁣
⁣
Number 3 is always an interesting one & Number 4 is sometimes not the most well received 👀⁣
⁣
However the right therapist should not string you along through a bunch of appointments without being honest about some of the hard truths of rehab 🤍⁣

Do any of these shock you? Let me know below ⬇️ taken in Mississauga, Ontario by @wellnesswithbrittp

One of my patients told me a few days ago how my life looks so beautiful right now. As silly as it sounds, I didn’t realize I needed that reminder. ⁣
⁣
It’s so easy to get overwhelmed by the life stressors that we have and trust me, I feel overwhelmed by stress pretty much every day. But really, this is all that matters. They are why I work so hard. And sometimes we just need someone to remind us what really matters so that everything else feels a little less stressful 🤍 by @wellnesswithbrittp

Do you ever find yourself in the kitchen at the end of a long day cleaning up before bed and your body feels like it’s tweaking with pain with every step? 🤕⁣
⁣
Because same. Last night after a long evening with the kiddies I went to go unload the dishwasher and every time I bent over I had a little sharp pain in my pelvis. So after a few minutes realizing it wasn’t going away, I stopped and did these three movements. 5-10 reps of each. It took me minutes to do and the pain was gone 🙌🏼⁣
⁣
Now obviously if someone has underlying pelvis or spine concerns, the pain may not completely vanish with these 3 movements. BUT it should at least reduce the intensity of what you’re feeling. ⁣
⁣
Give them a try and let me know which feels the best for your back ⬇️ taken in Mississauga, Ontario by @wellnesswithbrittp
