The treatment varies but the objective doesn’t. The Shelbourne Physiotherapy Athletic Therapist’s goal is to help clients return to their usual activities, whether that means playing competitive sports or walking to the mailbox and back.

Recipes and Fun stuff

 
How to Fit Exercise into Your Routine - No Matter How Busy You Are
1. Make a schedule and stick to it - It is recommended that adults get at least 2.5 hours of physical activity each week.   Focus on moderate to vigorous aerobic exercise, broken down into sessions of 10 minutes or more.  It is also beneficial to add exercises that work on strengthening your muscles and bones at least 2 times per week.

2.  Cater to your likes and dislikes - You are more likely to stick to a routine if you actually enjoy the activities you are scheduling.

3.  Choose some movement over none - This is especially important if you sit all day at work.  It is good to break up your day up with some movement or gentle stretching. Choose to take the stairs instead of the elevator.  Walk whenever possible

4. Bike, run or walk to work - As the weather gets nicer, it may be easier to transition to an active commute (even if it is only once a week to start).

5.  Keep your workout clothes handy at all times - Keep a change of clothes and your sneakers in your car or in your locker at work.
