We recommend the Spring Loaded Technology | Knee Brace brace because we’ve seen how well it works for our patients. It’s as simple as that.

At Apex and OrthoFit, finding the right brace starts with listening to the patient. Our team has its go-tos, but those choices aren’t driven by sales or relationships. They come from experience and seeing what works firsthand.

That’s why Amy was excited to sit down with Ben Ross, head of sales and part owner of this Nova Scotia-born company.

In episode 3 of Beyond the Waiting Room: More Than an Offloader, Amy and Ben talk about living with knee arthritis, how their spring loaded brace works and how it can help people living with knee OA.

If you’ve checked in at Apex lately, you’ve probably already met Paige 😊

She’s our Patient Care Administrator, greeting patients as they come in, taking care of billing, and keeping files and records up to date behind the scenes. Paige joined the team this spring after years in customer service, and that experience shows in the way she looks after people at the desk, whether she’s booking your next appointment or helping sort out a billing question.

Outside the clinic, you’ll usually find her with a good book.

Knowing what to expect after surgery can make a big difference in how prepared you feel for recovery.

Around 2–4 weeks after hip arthroscopy, rehab typically begins to shift from protecting the joint to gently rebuilding strength, stability and confidence in movement.

Here’s a look at some of the exercises we may introduce during this stage:

▪︎ Double Leg Bridge
→ 3 sets of 10 | 3–5 second hold
Activates the glutes, which help support your hip when walking.

▪︎ Isometric Hip Abduction
→ 3 sets of 10 | 3–5 second hold
Strengthens the muscles that keep your pelvis level without moving the joint. Often introduced around week 3, if pain-free.

▪︎ Short Arc Quad Over Roll
→ 3 sets of 10 | 3–5 second hold
Builds quad strength through a small, controlled range to support standing and walking.

▪︎ Weight Shifting
→ 3 sets of 10 | 5–10 second hold
Builds confidence putting weight through the surgical side, progressing toward single-leg balance.

Every recovery moves at its own pace. Always check with your care team before starting new exercises, as your physio will adjust your plan as you progress.

What’s the difference between an athletic therapist and a physiotherapist?

Most people know what physio is, but athletic therapy tends to fly under the radar. Many people aren’t sure what athletic therapists actually do, or realize it’s a treatment option they could benefit from.

And here’ the thing: athletic therapy isn’t just for athletes.

Athletic therapists understand how the body moves, how injuries happen and how to rebuild strength and function.

If you have a body that moves, it’s for you.

In this episode of Beyond the Waiting Room, Amy sits down with Kurt Stevenson, our Athletic Therapist at Apex, to explore what athletic therapy involves, how it differs from physio and why it might be the missing piece in your recovery.

The full video episode is now live on YouTube, or you can listen on Spotify and Apple Podcasts ~

If the same injury keeps coming back, the sore spot might not be the whole story.

Kurt Stevenson, Certified Athletic Therapist at Apex, looks at the body as one connected system.

He starts by watching how you move, then calms things down with:
· Soft tissue work
· Mobilizations
· Heat and ice
· Stretching
· Simple strength work

One of his go-to tools? Isometrics.

Holding a steady muscle contraction without moving the joint can help settle tendon and muscle pain early, while keeping you strong.

🎙️Episode 2 of Beyond the Waiting Room is now live on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Amy chats with Kurt about his 23 years in varsity sport, how he gets people back from injury, and why athletic therapy isn’t just for athletes.

The full video is coming soon to YouTube.

Shoulder instability? These 4 prehab exercises are a good place to start.

Kalie walks through four movements we use to build strength, control, and stability around the shoulder:

→ Banded pull-aparts
→ Banded shoulder flexion
→ Banded rows
→ Diagonal resistance (PNF)

The goal isn’t just a stronger shoulder — it’s a shoulder that feels more controlled and confident through reaching, lifting, throwing, and overhead movement.

If your shoulder feels loose, unstable, or like it might give way, a proper assessment can help determine why.
