Our awesome physio, Sayaka, is expecting her second child and needs help keeping her patients strong and healthy!

Sayaka works with a diversity of patients ranging from Parkinson’s rehab, surgical rehab all the way to strength training for athletes. We are looking for somebody who works with a strong emphasis on strength work/ rehab- we want to put that gym space to use!

Some general facts about the job:

  • Flexible hours
  • Expected duration: 1 year
  • Part-time or full time- we will take what we can get if the practitioner is a good fit!
  • Your own treatment room and access to gym space
  • Jane practice software
  • Patient- focused, evidence-based work environment
  • Plenty of parking with store front entrance into the clinic
  • Reception coverage for 40 hours/week with the option to work outside of those hours

There’s always the option to work beyond the locum if it makes sense for all, but for now the focus would be on maintaining Sayaka’s patients and other new physio patients that come into the clinic.

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.

Meet our Waterloo Chiropractor and Physiotherapy Team

Our team of Waterloo Chiropractors, physiotherapists, and registered massage therapists are here to help you get out of pain, and back to the life you enjoy as soon as possible. We use only the necessary treatments, nothing more.

We always take the time to conduct a full history and physical exam to identify exactly what is causing your pain. You will always be provided with a precise diagnosis, an explanation of your injury, a variety of treatment options, and a prognosis so that there are no surprises.

We are Evidence-Based

Our treatments are based on what only the newest and best scientific research is showing- you do not have to be concerned with pseudoscience or poorly understood concepts.

Dr. Sean Delanghe & Dr. Rebecca Blackburn both graduated from the most highly regarded chiropractic school, CMCC.

We strive to prevent recurrence

Our goal is not only to help you become pain-free, but also to stay pain-free.

With every injury, there will always be an option for different interventions to help prevent your injury from returning. This may include options ranging from ergonomic training to custom exercise plans.

Last week I spent most of the week with a mild head cold. Nothing crazy, but enough to motivate me to review my old imtraining-and-performancemunology notes yet again to relearn what I already know (it’s always fun picturing the T-cells destroying the bad stuff). Times like these also motivate me to relearn other things, like how nothing gets rid of a cold other than some basics including: sufficient rest, fluids, stress management and a good diet.

Sometimes when I’m sick, I’ll also scan the literature for new research on the common cold. Usually it’s more of the same: sleep deprivation triggers a depression in immune function, more research is needed to show if supplement X helps, excessive exercise causes a depression in immune function while light exercise may help, and so on.

However, in today’s search, I came across something new that may help us cope with the common cold. The only downside is that this new information applies to a small subset of the population. It fact it’s so specific, it’s almost not worth mentioning and learning…other than the fact that the specific subset I’m referring to is exactly who we are: athletes to train vigorously in cold weather!

What does the science say?

In general, it’s has been proven time and time again that popping vitamins does not help to speed up the recovery associated with the common cold if you are already sick. Long-term supplementation also does not help to prevent the common cold. There is some research suggesting that long term supplementation may reduce the duration of the cold, but that always sounded like a lot of effort and money for a marginal improvement on something
that rarely happens.

So I had long given up on vitamin C. Maintain a healthy diet rich and fruits and vegetables, and that was all I needed in my mind (if I achieve said goal).
