Life update... - So, I have to apologize... I have been entirely delinquent about hopping on the forum! I'm so sorry folks! But I 'hyper-focused' on a couple of projects over my week off, and then had to catch up this
past week. Not sure if that's a good enough excuse, but I should still apologize for ignoring the forum!
- Then I also have to apologize for not answering e-mails! Oy! I have about 353 e-mails in my inboxes.
- However, a bit "Woot! Woot!" My kid's football team won the Southern Alberta Tier 4 Football championship! So they go to Provincials next Saturday in Calgary!
So excited for his team (they're sort of a Cinderella story!!)

That's it as a quick 'life in review'...
Now on to YOUR learning for this week! But first... (and this one took me a minute for it to register!) |
Blog: Core Stability: Myth or Must? |
So, this blog is inspired from a human pod-cast I listened to. The podcasts is called Untold Physio Stories, and the guest for this one was Dr. Scotty Butcher, a Canadian physiotherapist. The gist of the program is to discuss a short story of a physio business or practice success or failure. Scotty’s contribution was about core stability.
Basically, this is the topic around which he did his master’s
degree about 10 years ago. Ten years ago, core training, stability training, activation of Transverse Abdominus and Multifidus were all the rage for treating back pain.
But were we right? Yes and no! Read on to understand more!

P.S. Are you looking for a unique educational opportunity? |
Then plan a trip to Calgary in January (21 & 22) and visit The Canine Fitness Centre, where we will be hosting Ilaria Borghese (of Thera-paw & the STAAR Conference), for her awesome 2-day course on Bracing, Splinting, Soft Orthoses... etc!
The Animal Rehab Division of the CPA is opening
this course up to non-members! But space is limited... so be sure to sign up ASAP!
BTW, this was one of the best courses I've ever taken. I have been waiting YEARS to bring it to Canada. So excited to have the opportunity to do so now! |

P.S. Are you looking to include SHOCKWAVE in your practice? |
I have just the thing! I highly recommend the unit that I have and use at my clinic. And now, I can bring it to you!
And if you're interested, give me a shout and I'll happily send along all of the details. RADIAL SHOCKWAVE rules! I am loving it as an adjunct to my other therapies, and am seeing amazing results with it when used on osteoarthritis, tendinosis lesions, and lumbosacral disc disease. (There are more things it can treat, but these three things keep it hopping
at my clinic!)
The price is right (in Canadian Dollars), and I can ship anywhere in North America. (For those of you overseas, I can put you in touch with local distributors nearer to you!)
Okay... so check it out if you've ever been interested! |

P.S. Helpful Hints for NEW members... |
If you are new to FourLeg and happen to be having any issues with watching the videos, you will want to cut and paste the following url into your browser bar: http://www.fourleg.com Sometimes after people sign up on the secure page on FourLeg, their computer remembers the secure address for the website (https:), and takes them to the site via that prefix... but the rest of the pages aren't secured, only the sign up page... and if you go to watch the videos on
the https:... site, then it won't allow you to watch them. So going to the http:// version will make everything turn out okay!!!
As members, If you are wanting to search a topic... then locate the white
search bar in upper right hand side of the screen when you log in & are on the members' side of the site. This is an easy way to find content in all formats! |
