I love what I do. I believe that our profession can only grow if we put the effort into growing ourselves. I am a clinical educator and mentor for the UBC program. And whether it was my experience with university/ professional athletes, the Olympics, or le Cirque du Soleil, I have used every opportunity to learn and grow as a therapist, and I am always happy to share that experience and expertise to any and all who need it. A little backstory I was 11 years old playing competitive hockey when I first damaged my knee. I remember going to Physio and doing exercises and saying to myself: “This job is awesome, this is what I want to do”. That determination led me half way around the world to UQ, one of the foremost leaders in physiotherapy. That drive continued, opening doors at the 2010 Olympic Games and later in the medical department for Le Cirque du Soleil. Ive taken that drive and experience and continue to improve myself everyday, more recently by completing my Fellowship in the field of clinical orthopaedics. Outside of the clinic As I have gotten older, I’ve started to spend less time training in the gym and early morning skates and more time working out chasing my kids around. Less balancing on Swiss balls and more balancing life. Don’t get me wrong, that feeling of skates cutting into a fresh sheet of ice still gives me goose bumps, but I now have a different goal in life and I am putting all that fire towards them.

( Stefan Iorio, Physiotherapist Burnaby, BC ), may talk about some of the conditions and some of the treatment options shown on the videos.

Yes, it is always important to discuss the information you have learned from videos or any other source with your local physiotherapist. They are trained professionals who can provide personalized advice and guidance based on your specific condition or disease.

The techniques mentioned, such as musculoskeletal ultrasound, rehabilitative ultrasound, manual therapy, exercise, and PRP, are commonly used by physiotherapists in the treatment of various conditions. However, the suitability of these techniques for your particular situation can only be determined by a thorough assessment and consultation with your physiotherapist.

In the case of sleep apnea treatment, it often involves a multidisciplinary approach. Along with your physiotherapist, you may also work with a physician, sleep specialist, otolaryngologist (ear, nose, and throat doctor), and/or a CPAP specialist. Each of these professionals plays a role in evaluating and managing sleep apnea to provide you with the most appropriate treatment options.

Regarding maintaining a healthy weight, it is indeed important for overall health and can have a positive impact on various conditions. Your physiotherapist can provide guidance on exercises and activities that can help with weight management, taking into consideration your specific needs and any physical limitations you may have. They may also recommend consulting with a nutritionist or dietitian for a heart-healthy diet plan tailored to your requirements.

Remember, your local physiotherapist is the best person to provide you with accurate information and guidance based on their expertise and your individual circumstances.

Sciatic pain or sciatica is a common symptom rather than a specific diagnosis. It refers to pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back down through the buttocks and into the legs. This pain can vary in intensity and location, but it typically affects one side of the body.

The sciatic nerve can be irritated or compressed due to various underlying causes. Some common reasons for sciatic pain include:

  1. Lumbar disc herniation: When the gel-like material inside a spinal disc protrudes or leaks out and presses on the nerve roots, it can cause sciatic pain.

  2. Spinal stenosis: This condition involves the narrowing of the spinal canal, which can put pressure on the sciatic nerve roots.

  3. Piriformis syndrome: The piriformis muscle, located in the buttock region, can sometimes irritate or compress the sciatic nerve, resulting in similar symptoms to sciatica.

  4. Spondylolisthesis: This occurs when a vertebra slips out of place and puts pressure on the nerve roots that make up the sciatic nerve.

  5. Muscle imbalances or tightness: Issues such as muscle imbalances, poor posture, or tightness in the muscles surrounding the spine and pelvis can contribute to sciatic pain.

  6. Trauma or injury: Accidents or injuries that affect the lower back or buttocks can lead to sciatic pain.

It's crucial to consult a physiotherapist or healthcare professional for a thorough assessment when experiencing sciatic pain. They will evaluate your symptoms, perform physical examinations, and may request imaging tests to identify the specific cause of your pain. Based on the findings, an appropriate treatment plan can be developed, which may include exercises, manual therapy, pain management techniques, and lifestyle modifications.

Remember, each case of sciatic pain is unique, and the treatment approach may vary depending on the underlying cause. A professional assessment will help determine the most effective strategies to alleviate pain, promote healing, and prevent future episodes.
