Lift Performance and Rehabilitation in Vancouver Opens on June 1st on Knight Street.

Vancouver, BC -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/15/2021 -- Lift Performance and Rehabilitation Clinic was born out of a need to move beyond the limitations of a typical clinical environment. Since its inception in 2017, Lift's founder has believed in breaking down barriers to help patients overcome pain and movement challenges. The new space is purposely built to help clients become their best physically and mentally. For more, go to: https://liftclinic.ca/blog/vancouver-physiotherapist-chiropractor-and-registered-massage-therapist-clinic-soon-to-open-new-location-on-knight-street/

What can you expect in Lift's new performance and rehabilitation clinic?

Beyond high-quality assessment and treatment that aims to address pain and performance challenges and their root cause, the new clinic will offer several new features and design elements, including:

- one private treatment room at the back of the suite – this will be primarily used for massage therapy services

- two "rig rooms" – curtained rooms primarily used for physiotherapy, chiropractic and 'modern' registered massage therapy services (i.e. clients in shorts and tanks/tees, not under the sheets). These rig rooms will be 6'x10? rooms housing our state-of-the-art treatment tables, while also providing an immediately accessible resource for a wide range of therapeutic exercises. On top of that, it will be a place for performance clients to show what they look like when they're lifting or exercising in order to see functional limitations, address technique errors, and understand how their body looks and performs under load.

- a fun lighting design and black-on-black interior with cement 'feature walls and high ceilings

- a seamless and natural transition between treatment table and exercise because clinicians and clients can be limited by physical and mental barriers created by walls and exercise spaces; having semi-private rooms can decrease this barrier increasing the ability to collaborate, explore and patients realize their full potential

- an environment that promotes collaboration and continuing education among clinicians. The semi-private concept also enables clinicians to learn from one another in an immersive environment. This means absorbing what teammates and colleagues do best, learning new techniques, and reinforced learning.

For existing patients worried about the move, the new location at 4030 Knight Street is just a short 5-minute walk (or 2-minute drive) from the current location on Kingsway. All patient records will be maintained. Treatment plans will continue more or less uninterrupted and be accompanied by an array of new equipment to better meet goals.

Everything you need to know about IMS dry needling with a Vancouver physiotherapist.

Vancouver, BC -- (ReleaseWire) -- 04/14/2021 -- Have you heard of IMS (intra-muscular stimulation) dry needling? This treatment is quickly becoming well-known for addressing pain and movement Impairments. A new blog from Lift Clinic shares everything you need to know before undertaking the treatment with a physiotherapist in Vancouver. For more, go to https://liftclinic.ca/blog/ims-dry-needling-with-your-vancouver-physiotherapist-everything-you-need-to-know/

What is IMS Dry Needling?

The technique uses a "dry" needle, one without medication or injection, inserted through the skin into areas of the muscle. Notably, these needles are similar or in some cases the same as acupuncture needles. They're much smaller and generally more comfortable to insert than a hypodermic needle (like the ones used for vaccines).

Other terms commonly used to describe dry needling include trigger point dry needling, intramuscular manual therapy, and IMS (intra-muscular stimulation). Vancouver physiotherapists use IMS Dry Needling in their practice a lot – many clinics in Vancouver offer it as a therapy option, so it's good to understand.

What are the Benefits of IMS Dry Needling with Physiotherapy?

The benefits of IMS Dry Needling are mainly pain relief, better range of motion, and improved motor control/muscle activation. The aim is to ease pain and tension while restoring mobility, strength, or control of the targeted muscle.

To give an example, knee pain from running/jumping or descending a hike can be caused by a lack of mobility in the thoracic region (mid/upper back), hypersensitivity in the low back, reduced range of motion in the hip, weakness of the hip and weakness of the lower leg affecting foot control. Dry needling can be used to treat the low back, hip, and quads with IMS Dry Needling, manual therapy, massage, and exercises. This results in better muscle activation (motor-control) through the hip and foot, and less knee pain with activities.

IMS Dry Needling Applications

- Headaches (may include suboccipital muscles, sternocleidomastoid, upper trapezius, levator scapula)

- Sciatica (may include lumbar paraspinals, piriformis, gluteal muscles)

- Hand and wrist pain (may include forearm muscles, muscles of the hand)

Lift Rehabilitation Clinic in Vancouver launches virtual therapy to support clients isolating in their homes.

Vancouver, BC -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/18/2021 -- Since Travis Dodds launched Lift Performance and Rehabilitation in Vancouver back in 2017, he experienced his first busy year in 2020. After building his business for three years, he was finally seeing clients five days per week. Then COVID hit. Travis negotiated various strategies for running his business before hitting upon a creative solution—online physiotherapy services. For more information, go to https://liftclinic.ca/blog/vancouver-physiotherapy-clinic-aims-to-grow-in-spite-of-covid-19/

When the pandemic hit, the clinic closed from March 16 until May 29. During this time, Travis questioned everything, including how to keep moving forward. Eventually, the answer became clear: virtual physiotherapy.

Launching a new physiotherapy service on a virtual platform meant being transparent about the learning curve. Things could not be expected to progress smoothly at first. The journey kicked off with a $1000 Vancouver Food Bank Fundraiser, where clinicians charged $20 per visit and donated 100% of the proceeds to the Vancouver Food Bank, amounting to three weeks of free work. Although challenging to navigate with the concurrent demands of family and work life, it was a rewarding opportunity to help out the community during this especially difficult time.

As a Vancouver physiotherapist, Travis initially found it difficult to step back, reducing clinical hours and limiting the ability to see clients as he focussed on pivoting and revamping the business. However, two supporting physiotherapists—Henry Young and Sam Nguyen stepped up to assist his patients.

Lift Clinic works a lot with strength coaches, athletes, teams, and gym-goers—people who have been hard-hit by pandemic closures. The response to the virtual programs has been varied. Some people take it as an opportunity to work on their bodies and optimize movement before face-to-face sessions. The virtual sessions also give therapists an extended ability to look at underlying causes of pain and movement limitations.

Of course, online isn't for everyone. Many clients experience overuse injuries as something caused by the activity. As a result, when they stop doing the activity the pain goes away and they assume they're fixed! So, while there have been fewer athletes overall, the staff and Lift has been able to do some amazing work with some of the most proactive clients, who are anticipating coming back with an edge on the competition.

Overall, the arrival of the pandemic has highlighted the importance of rehabilitation and physiotherapy services. Sedentary individuals are more likely to experience medical conditions that are associated with severe consequences from the virus.

150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity exercise is advocated as one of the most effective ways to treat and prevent conditions like obesity, heart disease, diabetes, (risk factors for severe complication from COVID), while also stimulating the immune system.

The physiotherapists, massage therapists, and chiropractors at Lift Rehabilitation Clinic in Vancouver continue to help and advocate for people whose injuries prevent them from being active and healthy. Virtually or face-to-face, this is a team that believes in strength and movement for life. Under Travis's leadership, this team is forging ahead with a new model to tackle old problems.

Vancouver, BC -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/09/2021 -- An improved client experience is just five minutes away. This spring, Lift Performance and Rehabilitation in Vancouver will be moving to a newly renovated suite about 5 minutes from its current location!

The new Lift Clinic will be at 4030 Knight Street, Vancouver. After three years in collaboration with Enhanced Performance, more space is needed for both partners. While the team originally consisted of one physio, one chiro, and one RMT. The team has now doubled in size, and this trend is expected to continue.

Enhanced Performance will continue to operate at the current location 1558 Kingsway. The move will allow both companies to focus on core clientele and have full control of their business operating environment.

Exciting changes are expected for both clients and staff at Lift Performance and Rehabilitation in Vancouver. It was challenging to find a location that could accommodate the current client base while allowing practitioners to refine and build upon their skills. It was additionally desirable to remain close to Enhanced Performance to continue a close working relationship.

This new location of Lift Performance and Rehabilitation in Vancouver will be purpose-built to enhance teamwork between clinicians, and facilitate clients being able to access the most effective means to treat their pain, build strength and understand their best pathway for moving forward.

Along with stylish high ceilings, clients will enjoy a private RMT treatment room and semi-private treatment areas for chiropractic and physiotherapy that will afford multiple benefits, including:

- a more seamless collaborative environment that will supercharge clinical collaboration, and interdisciplinary learning.

- truly team-based care and a wide range of systems and processes built to support this.

- a fun, productive environment for clinicians and clients to feel comfortable and supported as they advance rehabilitation and performance goals.

- a seamless transition between treatment table to appropriate reinforcing and reloading exercise – we aim to make the experience comfortable for people of all ages.

- continued emphasis on minimalist design, paperless operations, and reception-less

- active collaboration with a network of Vancouver's best strength coaches, physicians, sport med doctors, podiatrists, surgeons, sport coaches, and more.

- a place for our team to have fun, and make our mark in the community.

Clients will enjoy easy access via multiple transit routes, ample bike parking, and free underground parking. Look for the new location in King Edward Village, a recognizable development with Save-on-Foods, the Vancouver Public Library Kensington Branch, and more, all within half a block.
