Library

 Welcome to our library of patient resources. Here you will find information on specific conditions and training programs that we have found proven and beneficial. Use them as directed and remember to consult with one of our therapists if you have any questions.

W4PT Run Walk program  A program to take a healthy beginner from walking to running the equivalent of the Sun Run. If you have any health concerns, first visit your family doctor to get an OK to proceed. Remember to warm up with 5 minutes of brisk walking and cool down with 5 minutes of relaxed walking.

Technical Running Drills  Once you are comfortable with the Run Walk program you can continue to improve your running ability by adding these technical drills into your weekly training efforts. They will help improve leg strength, balance and will add stamina in side to side motion, something that is lacking in many runners and often contributes to injury.

Healthy Computer Habits   How should your desk and workspace be set up to provide you with the healthiest postural environment? This simple brochure, produced from clinical experience and using resources of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association, gives you important guidelines to follow. Feel free to print or email it on if you think someone you know might benefit.

Backpacks for children   Looking for advice on selecting a backpack for your child? This brochure will give you advice on what to look for both in selection for good fit and in safe use. Again I have used resources of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association and the experience of fitting my own children.
