Client Success Story - Murray A.

Chronic Shoulder Injury —> Super Handyman 🦸‍♂️🔧

Murray came to us on a recommendation from a friend who had been going through similar issues. A chronic shoulder injury caused by overuse and improper training technique. Murray had tried changing the exercises he did and performing some research on his own, but the only thing that seemed to help was taking pain killer medication. 👎

“It was getting to the point where I couldn’t work for the day. I couldn’t sleep or lie down without being in pain. I couldn’t do the things I used to be able to do.”

Murray is a do-it-yourself master when it comes to renovations or jobs needed to be done around the house and cottage. When these issues starting piling up, he couldn’t get work done without being in pain for several days afterward. It was very important for him to be able to get back to the capable version of himself.

From Lockdown Blues to Fit, Strong and Excited for More

Derek became a member during a series of lockdowns/gym closures in 2020. Like a lot of us, the lockdowns were quite tough on Derek. With his normal activities and hobbies limited, he realized he’d let himself become the heaviest he’d ever been.

Derek began a remote weight-loss program, and had success losing a lot of the weight h’ed gained. However, he had a feeling that it would be hard to sustain. ”I hit a wall with that program. I knew I needed help to get to the next step and I didn’t want to slow down.”

Not wanting to regress from the progress made on this weight-loss program, Derek started searching for more help.

3 Ways Exercise Improves Mental Health and Well-being 🚴‍♀️🧠🙂

There is plenty of research that shows exercise helps to treat a variety of physical diseases, but what benefits does exercise provide for our brain and mental health?

Disorders such as generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, PTSD and OCD are among the most frequently diagnosed mental health disorders. Anxiety-related disorders and depression often arise together and can lead to more severe symptoms when paired (Morgan et al., 2018). Many people do not receive treatment because they’re uncertain about the drugs and are weary of the side effects (rightfully so).

So, how can we treat anxiety without taking medications? By Exercising!!!
