Core Therapeutics - Physiotherapy

Exercise of the Week: Glute Bridge

Looking to strengthen your hips, glutes and core? Give bridging a try!

-Strengthens the glutes & hip muscles
-Supports lower-back stability
-Helps improve core control
-Great for building functional strength

How to do it:
Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Tighten your core, squeeze your glutes, and gently lift your hips toward the ceiling. Pause at the top, then slowly lower back down.

🔄 Try 2–3 sets of 10–12 repetitions, moving slowly and with control.

Strong hips = better movement!

Physiotherapy Can Help With Vertigo!

Experiencing dizziness or the room-spinning sensation of vertigo? Physiotherapy can help, especially when vertigo is caused by BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo).

Our physiotherapists may use specialized repositioning maneuvers, such as the Epley maneuver, to help move displaced crystals in the inner ear back into their proper position.

-Reduce dizziness
-Improve balance
-Restore confidence with movement

If vertigo is affecting your daily life, physiotherapy may help you get moving comfortably again.

Myth vs. Fact: Massage Therapy Edition!

❌ MYTH: Massage therapy is only for people experiencing pain.

✅ FACT: Massage therapy can also support overall wellness, reduce stress, promote relaxation, improve circulation, ease muscle tension, enhance flexibility, and help you feel more balanced—even when you feel healthy.

Regular massage therapy can help you maintain relaxation, support recovery, prevent muscle tension, and promote well-being at every stage of life!
