Action Potential Physiotherapy

Congratulations to my son for his amazing accomplishment over this past month. He completed his parachute course in Trenton, Ontario and earned his military jump wings. He will find flying with us so boring from now on 😂.

Out of office views. 🤩

Thanks for having me for my first backyard ultra. The farthest I’ve run before is a half marathon (21.1km) and yesterday I did 67km!
A loop of 6.7km completed every hour, on the hour.

Virtually attending the Functional Neurological Disorder Society meeting this year. It’s day 2 and I’m learning more about how to use exercise to treat FND.

Today I had the pleasure of being a panelist at the Parkinson’s IQ and you here in Calgary. I spoke along with a panel of experts who live with Parkinson’s, specialize in movement disorder neurology and speech language pathology.
My main message: exercise is medicine and it’s powerful!

A beautiful day for a half marathon
Geordie finished in 1:48 and I followed up with a 1:55.

Tomorrow morning I’ll be speaking with people with Parkinson’s disease and their care partners about the importance of exercise as part of a speaker series hosted by . Did you know evidence shows us exercise works on a neurological level to promote brain and cell health, improve neural connectivity and subsequently delays disease progression? Movement is more than just muscles! Exercise is medicine.

A big shout out to the Calgary Highlanders and Strides for training Geordie and I for the Calgary Marathon over the past 6 weeks. The soldiers met with us every Wednesday to complete a 10km run along the Bow River pathway. Cheer us on as we complete the half marathon on Sunday!

I will be participating in a panel discussion at this upcoming Parkinson’s IQ event in Calgary. There will be interesting conversation with a variety of experts. I hope to see you there.

What a treat to find this in the mail today! My published work on the functional movement disorder program here in Calgary! My colleagues and I recognized a health care gap and worked hard to create one of very few FND treatments programs in Canada.
