Testimonials
If I could give a few sets of 5 stars I would, I've been getting treated by Jen for several years now, and it has changed my life around. Going from doctors, chiro and some massage therapists all telling me they didn't know what was going on. Saw Jen and immediately came to a solid conclusion and devised a treatment plan that has worked. Got me off of all my pain meds and now to the point of just managing my symptoms.

I had an exceptional experience at the new Stride Physiotherapy clinic! Blake and Jen are friendly and welcoming. What a beautiful space in such a great location! Blake was so helpful in getting rid of some aches and pains that have been slowing me down from doing the activities and racing that I love to do! I feel i can trust them to keep my body working in optimal condition.
Linzee K.
Professional, cozy, clean, and modern clinic! I like that the treatment rooms were more private than most other clinics I have been to. Jen and Blake are knowledgeable and motivated to give you the best treatment to meet your personal goals. Booking is so easy online, I would highly recommend this place!
Jessica C.
I’ve visited them for a few injuries/aches and pains. The appointments have helped immensely to get me moving the way I want to and continue to live an active lifestyle. They have also helped me to be proactive by recommending some maintenance to do at home to prevent the same issues from happening again. Super friendly and helpful staff!

Ergonomic Assessments
Ergonomic assessments are systematic evaluations of the conditions of a work environment. The premise of these assessments is to identify and address environmental variables that may contribute to discomfort, pain and potential injury. Based on your preference, one of our trained workplace assessors can help to identify the potential problem areas of a workstation either in-person or virtually.
Below are the some of the items analyzed in a Stride Ergonomic Assessment:
Workstation Setup: This involves evaluating the key features of workstations, including desk height, chair ergonomics, monitor placement, keyboard and mouse positioning, and the overall layout of the workspace.
Tools and Equipment: Ergonomic assessments consider the implements employees use in their work, such as phones, mice, computers, and hand tools.
Employment Demands: Assessors evaluate the physical demands of specific job tasks which may include lifting and carrying heavy objects, repetitive motions, and periods of stagnation such as sitting or standing.
Environmental Factors: Ergonomic assessments also consider environmental factors such as lighting and noise that can lead to irritation and reduction of performance.
Education and Exercise: One of the goals of the assessment is to have the means to detect and correct the variables that can lead to workplace malaise. Recommendations may include exercises to combat pre-existing problems or to prevent problems from beginning in the first place.
Documentation: After the assessment, a report is conducted by your assessor, outlining key themes and recommendations.
We are now offering group sessions as part of our Corporate Wellness initiative to help provide ergonomic tips to a wider audience. The aim of a Stride Ergonomic Assessment is to create a safer, more comfortable, and more productive work environment.
Hand therapy is a form of rehabilitation aimed at restoring function, mobility, and strength to the hand, wrist, and forearm. It involves the assessment and treatment of conditions affecting these areas, including injuries, surgeries, chronic conditions, and neurological disorders.
Treatment techniques in hand therapy may include therapeutic exercises, manual therapy, splinting, sensory re-education, desensitization techniques, and modalities such as ultrasound or electrical stimulation. The focus is on improving range of motion, strength, coordination, and functional abilities to help patients regain independence in activities of daily living, work, and leisure pursuits.
Hand therapy is often recommended following
Traumatic injuries: This can include fractures, dislocations, lacerations, crush injuries, and amputations resulting from accidents, falls, or sports-related incidents.
Repetitive strain injuries: Conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, and de Quervain's tenosynovitis often develop due to repetitive motions or overuse of the hands and wrists.
Orthopedic conditions: This can include various orthopedic conditions such as arthritis, trigger finger, Dupuytren's contracture, and ligament injuries.
Postsurgical rehabilitation: Hand therapy plays a crucial role in the recovery process following surgical procedures such as tendon repairs, joint replacements, nerve repairs, or hand reconstruction surgeries.
The ultimate goal of hand therapy is to optimize hand function, reduce pain, prevent further complications, and promote overall well-being and quality of life for individuals with hand and upper extremity issues.
