To new adventures and new teams!
I have been keeping this secret for a little whileâŚ..
Iâm the Head Athletic Therapist for St. Lawrence College for the 21/22 season đąđą

You wouldnât DIY car repairs, so why are you trying to DIY a rehab plan?
A professional repairs a car for a reason, there is a lot of complex electrical, computer chips, hoses, gears, and parts to a car. If cars arenât built properly or maintained properly then they are not allowed on the roads. The average person wouldnât DIY car repairs.
You know what else has a complex wiring system, a computer chip, hoses, gears, and parts. Your body!
The nervous system is a very complex make up of electrical impulses that work very similar to the wiring in a car or your house. Your brain is the best computer chip of all, and brake down way less often. The fluid in your body (blood) travels through a complex series of hoses, pumps (heart), and spark plugs (heart beat). Your joints act like gears, and there are whole lot of other parts inside that do amazing wonderful things. But yet so many people try to DIY their rehab plan, instead of consulting a professional.
When our car breaks down we immediately take it to a mechanic to get it fixed, but yet when our body breaks down we pull out our phone and ask Dr. Google.
Why? Why do we not have the same appreciation for our body as we do our car?
A car breaks down we can get another one. If our body breaks down we are in for a long ride on a big bumpy road to recovery (see what I did there).
Take care of your body, and take it to your mechanic when something doesnât feel right.
Are you a DIYer or are you a head straight for the mechanic kind of person? (For either your car or body)

âI donât feel itâ - Athlete after trying a body awareness or mobility exercise.
đŞ The biggest misunderstanding in rehab is ever exercises you should feel the âmuscle burnâ.
Donât get me wrong there are many that will give you the âburnâ and there is a time and place for strength training exercises. But for an exercise to be effective in your rehab you donât have to feel it working.
đŞSometimes athletes are so strong that strength training in their rehab wonât make a difference. But what will make a difference is mobility work and exercises that help build body and joint awareness.
đť If your brain and joints canât communicate itâs bad news bears. This can lead to pain, injury and disfunction. But there are simple and effective ways to help get them back together working in harmony!

Change can be good! Hear me out!
Change can be growth
Change can be positive
Change can be beautiful
I use to avoid change, the unknowns gave me anxiety. I found comfort in the status quo.
But the one thing they donât tell you about change, is itâs a catapult for growth.
Take a hair cut for example, you change your hair so it can grow healthier, stronger, and longer.
So why not take the same approach to workouts, training, rehab, life, (insert what ever here) If you donât switch it up every once and a while. Make a change. Then how do you know if your growing, getting healthier, stronger, or better.
Change can be scary and messy. But I can also be oh soooo beautiful!
Double tap if you embrace change!

I was so incredibly angry, disappointed, scared, and powerless.
At 16 years old I was told I would have to take a year off dance to rehab my Achilles. At 16 this didnât fly with me, I knew I deserved better. I got a second opinion, and only had to take a week off. With modification and a solid rehab plan, I got back to what I loved!
You have control over your rehab, if you are feeling powerless and defeat in the rehab process. Itâs time for a second opinion.
I have been in your shoes, and I know there is something better! You donât have to feel overwhelmed and alone!
My philosophy as an Athletic Therapist is to support everyday-athletes in the process of rehab to get them back to the life and activities they love!

This is the job of first responders, I am a first responder for athletes!
Athletic Therapy has been highlighted on the big stage in professional sport more this year then ever in my career. There has been 3 incidence on National television, two in hockey and one in soccer. I am honoured to say because of the amazing Athletic Therapists, Doctors, and Medical Team that these athletes are going to be ok.
This was because of their quick response! Because they trained their whole career to hopefully never use these skills.
I have trained my whole career to hopefully never use these skills, but if the situation calls for it Iâm there!! Ready, able, and willing for the athlete, the coach, the parent! Iâm Ready!
This is why itâs important to have trained professionals at every sporting event, for every team, for every level. Because you just never know what the difference is between having someone with the skills there or not.
Next time your at a game or a tournament, take a look around. Ask the questions where are the first responders?
Ask your coach, the managers, the organization where are the first responders?
Do it for your children, your spouse, your friend, your parent, for you!

Today is my first exercise of the week. Itâs all about squats! Itâs not about the only way to squat, because everybody is different and moves different. But we are talking about some useful cues and techniques to try the next time you squat. As you can see mine are not âperfectâ either, but I am constantly working on them. Head over to the blog to read all about squats and some tricks to help make them a little bit easier. Link in bio or head to https://cathletictherapy.wordpress.com/2020/05/18/squats/ Give them a try and tag me in your best efforts #squats #exerciseoftheweek #movementmonday #ygk #healthinfocus
Foam rolling the calfâs, seams simple but here are some tips to help get a bit deeper. First cross your legs itâs a bit harder to balance but it will add more weight to the leg and more pressure on the roller. Second tip make sure you do the sides too. Move your leg side to side to roll the inside and outside of the calf. This will help the whole muscle relax more and can help with residual tension after rolling, because now you are addressing the whole muscle. Third break the calf up into two. I tend to roll the gastroc muscle belly (which is higher up) then follow it up with rolling the Achilles and Soleus further down. Just make sure you give your self enough room or move your roller forward a bit. If you notice I ran into the wall trying to roll and had to move forwards đ¤ˇââď¸ Tag a friend who always has tight calfâs. #athletictherapy #foamrolling #tightcalfs #healthinfocus #ygk
I get asked about foam rolling so often both from clients in the clinic and with my RMC athletes. Main questions are am I doing this right, and how do I know it is working? If this sounds like you keep reading. Foam rolling is a great way to break up myofascial tightness and adhesions which can help decrease muscle soreness and tightness and increase movement. It is really good for post exercise and recovery for the body. One rumour about foam rolling is that it will increase muscle length or flexibility. It does to a point but you really need to stretch the muscles after you foam roll to create new length to truly increase flexibility long term. In the video I am demonstrating the way I roll hamstrings; everyone you meet will have a slight variation but I find this is the one that works best for me. You start with the foam roller between your hamstring and the ground your other leg bent to the side and your hands on the ground for support. You can put as much or as little body weight you need on the foam roller. The first few times you do it can be uncomfortable so try and ease into it. Then start to shift your body back and forth along the foam roller to roll the hamstrings. When I roll my hamstrings I tend to do them in two sections first the top part about hip level to about mid way, and then the bottom section after. By splitting the muscle up it gives you more control with the movement and also the speed. You want to go slow and controlled, you need to let the hamstring sink into the foam roller. The biggest mistake I see is athletes rolling too fast, you need to go slow in order to truly change the state of the muscle. It is more comfortable to go fast but it wonât do much for your muscles. Which brings me to the second question you should feel it working and yes it should be slightly uncomfortable but tolerable. If you are a religious roller it will become more comfortable with time and when things start to break up as well but then add some more

You wouldnât DIY car repairs, so why are you trying to DIY a rehab plan?
A professional repairs a car for a reason, there is a lot of complex electrical, computer chips, hoses, gears, and parts to a car. If cars arenât built properly or maintained properly then they are not allowed on the roads. The average person wouldnât DIY car repairs.
You know what else has a complex wiring system, a computer chip, hoses, gears, and parts. Your body!
The nervous system is a very complex make up of electrical impulses that work very similar to the wiring in a car or your house. Your brain is the best computer chip of all, and brake down way less often. The fluid in your body (blood) travels through a complex series of hoses, pumps (heart), and spark plugs (heart beat). Your joints act like gears, and there are whole lot of other parts inside that do amazing wonderful things. But yet so many people try to DIY their rehab plan, instead of consulting a professional.
When our car breaks down we immediately take it to a mechanic to get it fixed, but yet when our body breaks down we pull out our phone and ask Dr. Google.
Why? Why do we not have the same appreciation for our body as we do our car?
A car breaks down we can get another one. If our body breaks down we are in for a long ride on a big bumpy road to recovery (see what I did there).
