I am sure most of use have experienced a muscle that feels tight and stiff. Most people immediately think to stretch the affected area, but is that always the solution?

If you have stretched to the ends of the earth but you still feel tight, it might be time to change the approach and try to strengthen it. The sensation of “tightness” doesn’t always mean a short muscle. It could, in fact, mean that the muscle is weak or that a joint lacks motor control and needs to be trained.

Getting assessed by a healthcare professional, like a physiotherapist, you can determine if stretching, or strengthening, or a combination of the two is the way forward.

STRENGTH TRAINING WITH PHYSIO SAYAKA

Exercise is always better with friends, which is why we are excited to formally offer individual and small group workout sessions guided by Physio Sayaka!

Strength is a key component of any good rehab program, and is invaluable for staying healthy, regardless of if you are an athlete or not. Plus, we all know there are many ways to go wrong when trying to implement it, so why not get work with a regulated health practitioner to make sure you are doing things the right way!

These one-hour exercise sessions are tailored to your group’s needs, such as:

prehab for your sport or everyday activities
prenatal/postpartum rehab and strengthening
peri/post-menopausal strengthening
maintaining fitness in a safe environment with consideration for your previous injuries

Sessions are scheduled in advance to reserve the same time every week. We’re flexible on the duration, but 4 weeks minimum is usually a good place to start.

COST:
Cost will be scaled to the size of the group:

Prices for the group session:

4 people: $68 per person/session
3 people: $78 per person/session
2 people: $93 per person/session
Solo: $124

Covered under your physiotherapy benefits!
