RECOGNIZE THE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF A STROKE
A stroke may occur when either a blood vessel in the brain becomes blocked or a blood vessel in the brain ruptures. Both types of strokes prevent blood and oxygen from reaching critical parts of the brain, often causing significant cognitive and physical difficulties.
Fibromyalgia is a painful condition that causes bodily pain, especially in the joints. People with fibromyalgia also suffer from persistent fatigue in addition to pain, and the ongoing discomfort disrupts daily functioning. The cause of this chronic condition is not well understood, but physiotherapy provides a beneficial form of pain management. Reach out to Emerald Hills Physio & Sports Clinic in Sherwood Park to learn more.
Find creative ways to keep moving throughout your day. Take short breaks and walk around your office instead of checking social media. Use the stairs instead of the elevator to strengthen your body and mind. Speak with a physiotherapist to learn more about beneficial ways to stay active and mobile.

I had been putting pelvic floor therapy for years. When the dr referreed me to physio, I did my homework. I chose Emerald Hills because of the proximity, hours, and friend recommendations. I am so glad I chose them. Nav is so knowledgeable and has a true interest in what helps. I was never left alone for any thing other than my therapy and she checked my progress regularly. My therapy was so much more than I thought it would be and it;'s working! Highly reccommended!
