Do you value having your patients become functional, strong and independent? Are you a passionate and caring Pelvic Health Physiotherapist? We are looking for a warm, enthusiastic, and motivated physiotherapist to join the Fortius team to fill full time and/or part time pelvic health physiotherapy positions.
In my last blog we talked about the difference between vertigo and dizziness. Now I would like to dive a little deeper into vertigo. Most often people come to see a vestibular therapist like me at Fortius Physiotherapy Niagara because their doctor told them they have vertigo. But what is vertigo? What can cause it??
I have just reached the third trimester of my pregnancy and I’m thankful and happy to say that I have been feeling good throughout! It is quite amazing what the human body can do and how your body changes and adjusts to make sure that little baby is safe and healthy.
Menopause is the time in a woman's life where many changes occur. It is the time when a woman’s period stops and it usually occurs naturally, most often after age 45.
Have you ever heard the popular phrase “no pain, no gain”? It is a phrase I hear often by physiotherapy patients during their treatments. I thought it would be beneficial to discuss this expression and hopefully alleviate some fears patients have when coming for treatment.
Hey everyone it’s John, the Osteopathic Manual Practitioner at Fortius Physiotherapy and Wellness in Fort Erie. I’m going to be looking at the ankle and the injuries and the pains that can be associated with it. We will have a look at some basic anatomy and the mechanisms of injury and then how Osteopathy can help with these ankle problems.
Pain during a woman’s “time of the month” is considered normal. So normal in fact, that it has its own name. Period pain is called Dysmennorhoea (Dis-men-or-ee-a). Dysmennorhoea is the most common health issue women face during their reproductive years, about 60% of us deal with this (Bajalan 2019). It can affect quality of life, reduce social activities and have symptoms that affect different areas of the body.
Cycling is my passion…. Whether it is yours or you are new to exercise, cycling is great for anyone of any age. Here in Niagara we are blessed with wonderful countryside including but not limited to the Great Lakes, Niagara escarpment and our many wineries.
As the weather gets warmer, naturally, we get outside more frequently, play some sports and become more active. Unfortunately, without the correct form, knowledge or preparation, sometimes more activity means more injury.
