Physiomoves Physiotherapy Clinic Surrey

A (busy, fun, growing!) Year in Review

2012-01-04T12:22:00.000-08:00

Staying true to our mission, we were fully committed to all-around excellence in 2011. Here are some highlights of the past year. As you can see, we took courses, achieved certifications, were active in and around the Cloverdale/ Surrey/ White Rock communities, and selectively hired more of the best and brightest Physiotherapists out there!

January: Avid cyclist and journalist Jeffrey Hansen-Carlson had a bike fit done at Physiomoves and wrote about it: http://www.leaderpost.com/bike+must+fitted+rider/4099730/story.html
February: Physiomoves therapists attended a K-Taping course and now have the brightly coloured K-Tape in stock to tape up your body parts that require support.
March/April: Jody, Johnny and Tyler attended an intensive course learning the Functional Movement Screen and Selective Functional Movement Assessment. This has been helpful when working with athletes and communicating with their coaches and personal trainers. http://functionalmovement.com/fms
May: Tyler was interviewed on the Not Quite South Surrey.com website as a community profile, and Physiomoves gave away a prize pack as part of a monthly contest. Check out their informative and amazing website and facebook page! http://www.notquitesouthsurrey.com/1439/get-to-know-tyler-from-physiomoves-physiotherapy-clinic/
June: Tyler's expertise on bike fit was featured in a Vancouver Sun article on June 2,2011 http://www.canada.com/vancouversun/news/westcoastnews/story.html?id=03d41d49-449d-4d48-a75c-2ac1203e2c5a.

Tyler's knowledge of body mechanics, bike fit and injury prevention was videotaped and is now a permanent feature on the informative healthchoices.ca website: http://www.healthchoicesfirst.com/video/cycling/lower-back-pain-and-cycling (there are many others besides this video)

We attended the YMCA Healthy Kids Day and sponsored the Sandcastle City Classic 10km road race in June as well.

July: Our baseball pro, Johnny volunteered at the Canada Cup Softball tournament
September: Tiphanie Ge joined our Physiotherapy team. Tiphanie is proving to be a major asset at Physiomoves. She is calm and knowledgeable, which works especially well with children and older adults. She is just about licensed to perform acupuncture, something Physiotherapist Kristen (Pummell) Hoffman has been doing at our clinic since she passed all her exams in June 2011. September also saw Kristen tie the knot!
October: Our team provided free massages and education to everyone at the Peace Arch Hospital Foundation Great Pumpkin Run- what a beautiful, fun day!
November: Johnny, Barry and Tyler sported moustaches and raised over $300 for movember.ca. Thanks for all the votes! Physiomoves helped sponsor the entertainment at the well attended, much loved "Santa at Sullivan" event.
December: As if our team wasn't already great, we welcomed Christine (De Pape) Campbell to our team permanently, a former national level Field Hockey player and experienced Physiotherapist. We are also ecstatic to have Jessica Deglau on our team for locum work. Jessica is an international swimming sensation, having competed in the 1996 and 2000 Olympic Games!

Thank you to all our clients, friends and professional colleagues who trust Physiomoves to help move their bodies better. We are excited to help you stay injury free and achieve all your health goals for 2012!

Autumn Update from Physiomoves!

2011-10-05T12:57:00.001-07:00

Happy Fall to all our wonderful supporters in the Surrey area (South Surrey, White Rock, Cloverdale communities and beyond!) Physiomoves had a fantastic summer and early start to the Fall season, with many things to celebrate. We congratulate Kristen on her recent wedding vows; we welcome Tiphanie, our latest and greatest Physiotherapist; we celebrate our 4th birthday (having opened our doors Oct. 1, 2007) and we anxiously await the arrival of Jody's baby!

We are excited to announce that we are a preferred Physiotherapy provider to the Surrey United Soccer Club and we look forward to helping all athletes get back in the game following any injury.

Physiomoves will also be back at this year's Great Pumpkin Run/Walk, benefitting the Peace Arch Hospital Foundation.

We think we have the best therapists in town and we look forward to helping you move your body better. Thanks for checking in, and have a happy Thanksgiving!

Acupuncture now provided by Physiotherapist Kristen Pummell!

2011-06-08T20:54:00.000-07:00

Congratulations to Kristen Pummell, who successfully passed the Acupuncture Foundation of Canada Institute written and practical exams this spring. Kristen is excited to expand her physical therapy services by offering acupuncture to clients at Physiomoves. Kristen has been a Physiotherapist at Physiomoves since 2008, and we are proud of her latest accomplishment.

Acupuncture is an ancient form of Chinese medicine that involves the insertion of solid acupuncture needles into the skin at specific points in the body to achieve a therapeutic effect. It is safe and effective and often a successful alternative to medications or even surgery. For more information, please visit the website www.afcinstitute.com.

What's up in June

2011-06-03T10:34:00.000-07:00

Clinic owner Tyler Dumont was featured in the June 2 Vancouver Sun, p. A13 along with PABC CEO, Rebecca Tunnacliffe. The web feature doesn't show the great photo unfortunately, but it's still a great article!http://http://www.vancouversun.com/news/todays-paper/fitted+bike+reduce+pain/4879254/story.html
We say a fond farewell to Heather, who has been at Physiomoves part time since October 2010. We welcome Jonathan, who is here covering Johnny's clients for the month while Johnny is travelling abroad.
Physiomoves will be at the YMCA Healthy Kids Day on Sat. June 4 from 10-3pm for the 4th consecutive year. We are proud to support this fantastic community event that promotes healthy active living for all families. Come by and say hi with your kids!
We will have our tent up for the 3rd year at the Sandcastle 10km road race on White Rock beach on Sunday, June 12. Free post-race massage offered. Why not give this beautiful race a try? www.sunrunners.ca
Don't forget we have a brand new flat screen TV that will have ALL the Stanley Cup hockey action on. So don't worry about that Physio appointment booked during a game- we'll have the game on and popcorn ready to go!

a few kind words and an orange (ball)

2011-05-16T10:00:00.000-07:00

Since the month of May is National Physiotherapy month, the wonderful team behind www.notquitesouthsurrey.com offered to do an article about clinic owner Tyler Dumont and Physiomoves. It's under the section "Get to Know..." (http://www.notquitesouthsurrey.com/1439/get-to-know-tyler-from-physiomoves-physiotherapy-clinic/ ) and it's a great article about our fearless leader. What was even more wonderful than the article were the amazing comments that were submitted by a few individuals, including current clients and local reputable personal trainers. They took the time to write really positive messages about the entire team at Physiomoves, and it makes us feel very proud (and grateful for such amazing people to treat and work with in this community!)

Take a moment to read it if you get a chance (called "Get to know...Tyler from Physiomoves Physiotherapy Clinic"). And feel free to add your comments here or at the end of the article. It may even win you a prize! This month we are giving away a prize on behalf of the http://www.notquitesouthsurrey.com/ website, including an orange therapy ball, foam roller and a free massage from our RMT Barry Bereziak for anyone who leaves any comments on that fantastic website.

Functional Movement Screen

2011-04-24T21:18:00.001-07:00

A few weeks ago, Physiomoves therapists attended a 3 day course with the goal of advancing their knowledge and skills in the areas of assessment and injury prevention. Heather, Jody, Johnny and Tyler obtained both the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) Certification and the Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA) Certification.

The FMS is an exciting tool that allows your therapist to observe you perform seven movement tests that are key to normal function. A score is then generated which identifies the areas a person needs to target (e.g. stability or mobility of a particular region of the body. The FMS is used to identify people who are at risk of injury during physical training. Your therapist can prescribe a corrective exercise program to address your mobility and/or stability deficits based on your results of the FMS screen. The FMS score also predicts an athlete's performance capability. This tool can be used prior to starting a training program or at the end of your rehabilitation program. The SFMA is a more advanced screening tool that can only be studied and used by healthcare practioners such as Physiotherapists. This particular assessment is similar to an indepth orthopaedic exam. The SFMA is very useful in determining what movement patterns need to be corrected and how to prescribe the most appropriate corrective exercises.

Physiomoves is excited to be able to offer these new services to patients, athletes and sports teams who are interested in optimizing performance and reducing the risk of injury.

K-Taping now available at Physiomoves

2011-02-20T20:36:00.000-08:00

Physiotherapists Kristen Pummell and Tyler Dumont recently completed an intensive weekend K-Taping Pro Course in Vancouver, BC. K-Tape is an elastic tape that is water resistant, breathable and can be worn up to 7 days. K-Tape has 2 effects: 1) it stimulates blood flow and lymph flow to aid in the healing process and 2) it stimulates skin receptors to reduce pain and help the body sense position and movement. K-Taping can be used in the treatment of a variety of conditions such as back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, ligament sprains and muscle strains (see http://www.k-taping.eu/ for more information). K-Taping is now in stock at Physiomoves and can be offered to our clients.

Do you suffer from headaches? Physiotherapist Heather Johnstone is looking forward to an upcoming course that will give her advanced skills in treating cervicogenic headaches (headaches caused by neck posture/injury).

Welcome Heather!

2010-10-29T10:53:00.000-07:00

A warm welcome to Heather Johnstone, who started working at Physiomoves this week! Heather earned her Master of Physical Therapy degree from UBC after completing a Bachelor of Human Kinetics in Exercise Science. After teaching her at UBC and mentoring her on a practicum at Physiomoves, clinic owner Tyler Dumont knew she would be a perfect fit here.

Heather competed in soccer, softball and volleyball before turning to endurance sports. She has been running and doing triathlons for over 5 years and is training for Ironman Canada 2011!

To book a Physiotherapy appointment with Heather, please call us at 604-575-7477.

Physiomoves update

2010-09-22T10:29:00.001-07:00

Happy Autumn! We love the Fall season- the smell of the crisp, cooler air, the many colours on the trees, and the busy-ness of back to school and activities.

This month, therapists from Physiomoves have provided on-field therapy to young soccer players in our community. We also hosted a "Principles of Bike Fit and Treatment of Cycling Injuries" workshop for Physiotherapists from around the Lower Mainland last weekend at our clinic. We warmly welcome our new main receptionist, Kelsey, who started fulltime as well.

We are accepting new clients of any age and condition. If you have an injury related to an auto accident, work, sports or aging- we would be happy to help you get back to moving your body better. Please give us a call, and Kelsey will set you up with a Physiotherapist and/or Massage Therapist who have the skills and expertise to treat your injured body part.

July Stats/ How did YOU hear about Physiomoves?

2010-07-31T21:28:00.001-07:00

We hope you are having a great summer! Life at Physio Moves is hopping along. A quick look at the referrals sent to us in July reveals that over 30% of new clients heard about us from caring friends and family who wanted to make sure their loved ones came to Physiomoves for the best treatment possible. Month after month, referrals from family, friends, co-workers and word of mouth in the neighbourhood continue to be our #1 source of referrals. What a humbling, wonderful compliment- we are so grateful to all of you!

We also treated patients referred to us by Physicians, Surgeons, Chiropractors, other Physiotherapists, Naturopathic Doctors, Personal Trainers,and Massage Therapists from across the Semiahmoo Peninsula all the way to UBC and beyond. Cyclists came from the Island and Northern BC for custom bike fits. This past month we saw clients from the Arthritis Society and even from the NHL!

In summary, July was an exciting month at Physiomoves because of the variety of people we had the opportunity to work with. Thank you for trusting us to help you move your body better. Send us a line about how YOU heard about Physiomoves and you could win a Physio prize package!

New Lymphapress for treatment of lymphedema

2010-06-02T14:25:00.000-07:00

Physiomoves now has a Lymphapress machine, which is used for the treatment of lymphedema. Lymphedema is swelling that occurs when lymph fluid collects in areas of the body. This can lead to heaviness, pain, tightness, and risk of infection. It commonly occurs after damage or removal of lymph nodes, especially in individuals with node removal related to breast cancer.

The Lymphapress is a pneumatic pump which uses sequential compression to reduce edema and swelling in the upper or lower extremity. The overall physiotherapy treatment approach for lymphedema combines the Lymphapress with exercise, soft tissue techniques (e.g. massage) and the wearing of compression garments. A doctor's referral is recommended prior to the start of treatment. Treatment of lymphedema is usually advised for 2-3 times per week for at least 4-6 weeks. To book a physiotherapy appointment with Jody to begin treatment of lymphedema, please call us at 604-575-7477.

Rinkside at the Games

2010-02-24T21:05:00.001-08:00

Here's a few photos to show our Physiomoves friends and clients what it's been like for clinic owner Tyler Dumont to volunteer his time as a member of Host Medical Team at Canada Hockey Place during the 2010 Olympics. You can't get much closer to the action than this, and Tyler reports the experience has been incredible. One more shift left on Saturday night to cover the Men's Bronze Medal game. We predict that Canada won't be there for that one- they'll be busy the next day during the Gold medal match. Go Canada Go!!!

Oh, what a month for Tyler Dumont!

2010-02-13T21:14:00.000-08:00

Physiomoves Physiotherapy Clinic Director Tyler Dumont is having a February to remember!!! As you've seen from our website, he held the esteemed honour of being selected to represent the UBC Dept of Physical Therapy during the 2010 Olympic Torch Run on Feb. 10, 2010. It was an overwhelming, exhilarating experience, and Tyler was so grateful to see so many patients, students, colleagues, family and friends there to cheer him on.

On Feb. 12th Tyler was asked to come to local school Cambridge Elementary to participate in their Opening Ceremonies. He ran in with the Torch and happily answered questions from the excited students. Afterwards he attended his son's Kindergarten class to let the kids hold the torch.

Feb 13th marks Tyler's first shift on the Host Medical Team at Canada Hockey Place. For the next 2 weeks, Tyler will be rinkside as men and women from around the globe compete in Olympic hockey. When he's not at hockey, Tyler will be busy at the clinic treating clients with the rest of the fabulous Physiomoves team.

Be watching on TV starting Feb. 16th as Tyler makes his national television debut! He will be part of a commercial promoting Physiotherapy c/o the Canadian Physiotherapy Association. Tyler was asked to be a part of the commercial along with other Physiotherapy colleagues- can't wait to see it!

We're also anticipating the imminent arrival of a new Dumont. Tyler and his wife are expecting their 3rd child any time now. Stay tuned for that exciting news as well!

What are we up to in early 2010?

2010-01-16T22:40:00.000-08:00

2010 is well underway, and Physiomoves is excited about great things happening in and around our clinic and community. We have a couple of new faces- welcome Paige (part-time reception) and Johnny Yiu, our most recent Physiotherapist to join the team. Johnny will be working full time starting in February; his complete bio and photo are posted on our website (www.physiomoves.com). We say farewell to Krystie in February and wish her well in her future endeavours.

Clinic Director Tyler Dumont will be carrying the Olympic torch on Feb. 10 in North Vancouver at ~3:10pm along Grand Boulevard West between 15-17th streets. Come cheer him on or follow coverage live on the web via http://www.ctvolympics.ca/torch/follow-torch/index.html

Tyler is providing occasional therapy coverage for the Surrey Eagles Junior A Hockey Team until the end of their season. He is also continuing to lead mini-workshops for local running and cycling groups (e.g. the Running Room and Team in training). He has attended some great courses recently on advancements in therapy for shoulders and ankles.

Jody, Kristen and Johnny are all continuing their education by completing Orthopaedic division advanced manual therapy courses. These are intense courses, but our Physiotherapists strive to give the most current, advanced treatment possible to our clients. See their website bios for more details.

Barry, our fulltime massage therapist, recently completed the SportMedBC Athlete Functional Assessment course.

We look forward to helping you "move your body better" in 2010! Please call us (604-575-7477) if you have any questions or would like to book an appointment with one of our fabulous therapists. See you soon!

Exciting 2010 News!

2009-10-16T22:06:00.000-07:00

Here's a bit of fun news to share with you. Clinic Director Tyler Dumont will be an Olympic Torch bearer prior to the commencement of the 2010 Olympic Games. Tyler was unaware that he was nominated by the UBC Faculty of Medicine Department of Physical Therapy to carry the torch on behalf of the department. Tyler feels very proud and honoured that his colleagues at UBC chose to acknowledge his dedication to the Department of PT in this way. He is a bit worried about tripping and falling, so he's already started practising running with his arm up in the air carrying a 5 lb weight (OK, I'm joking)!

Tyler is also excited to be a part of the medical team at the Men's Hockey venue (GM Place) throughout the Olympics. Let's hope his wife Kelly, who is due February 24 with their 3rd child, can hold off on delivering the baby until after the gold medal game!

2009-07-24T11:22:00.001-07:00

Yes, that's right! Physiomoves is growing again to meet the need for exceptional Physiotherapy in our community. Clients from around the Lower Mainland are hearing the news that Physiomoves is the best place to go for the most current, evidence-based 1:1 treatment for all orthopedic conditions and sports injuries. The Physiomoves team gives their clients more than a "quick fix"- we teach you about your injury and how to "move your body better" to last a lifetime.

Jody Wiebe will be joining our team starting the week of August 3, 2009. Jody has a Master of Physical Therapy degree from UBC, and has private practice experience in sports injuries, neck/back injuries, paediatrics and pre/post surgical rehabilitation. With her keen interest in continuing education as well as her background in athletics, coaching and fitness training, we know Jody will be a perfect fit at Physiomoves Physiotherapy Clinic.

To book an appointment with Jody or any of our therapists, please call the clinic at 604-575-7477.

Remember that we also have a Registered Sports Massage Therapist (Barry Bereziak) available from Monday to Friday for massage therapy as well!!

Having Fun in the Community

2009-06-23T21:46:00.000-07:00

Physiomoves left the building and headed out to a couple of great local events recently.

On May 30, we hung out with hundreds of sporty kids and their active parents and grandparents at the YMCA Healthy Kids Day. We tested their knowledge of the human body, with each kid winning a prize at the end. This is a great annual event at our local YMCA, and we already look forward to being a part of next year's Healthy Kids Day.

Physiomoves also had the opportunity to interact with some of the Peninsula's finest athletes at the Sandcastle City Classic 10km race down at White Rock Beach on June 7th. Sports Massage Therapist Barry Bereziak and Physiotherapists Tyler and Krystie provided free post-race massage to runners... check out the photos!

What has Your Therapist Been up to?

2009-03-21T13:34:00.000-07:00

The Physiomoves team has been hard at work lately- both at the clinic and in their extracurricular endeavours. Here's a brief look at how our therapists continue to strive to provide the highest quality treatment to our clients:

Kristen has also been busy acquiring new hands-on treatment skills. She recently completed the Mulligan Upper Quadrant course and the Orthopaedic Division Level 2 Lower Course. Kristen has also been studying and training under the Acupuncture Foundation of Canada Institute. She has already achieved Level 1, 2A and 3A, and will have her full acupuncture certification by January 2010.

Barry, our Registered Massage Therapist, has been working with the Vancouver Fusion Hockey team, which just won the Midget Female AAA season banner. The team is currently at the Provincial Championships with the hopes of winning. Barry has also been increasing his knowledge of core exercises to provide to his clients through the Carl Petersen "Fit to Play" Core Strengthening DVDs.

Tyler, our Clinic Director, has been busy teaching the UBC Master of Physical Therapy students much of the Orthopaedic curriculum once again this year. He has been invited to present 2 sessions on "cycling injuries" at the Pedorthic Association of Canada Annual Symposium in Kelowna April 3-5. Tyler also recently spoke to a captive audience of runners at the White Rock Running Room, providing them with important tips on "Stretching for Runners".

What is a "Sports Physiotherapist"?

2009-02-06T14:01:00.000-08:00

While there are many physiotherapy clinics in the Lower Mainland that provide "sports physiotherapy", there are actually very few therapists that have a certified Sports Physiotherapy designation. These individuals are certified with their Sports Physiotherapy Diploma from Sports Physiotherapy Canada. Physiomoves owner Tyler Dumont happens to be the only true "Sports Physiotherapist" in the South Surrey/White Rock/Cloverdale/Langley areas. To achieve this credential, Tyler has proven a high level of knowledge regarding all aspects of sports physiotherapy (including biomechanics, functional orthopaedic assessment, advanced emergency care, athletic taping, exercise physiology, sports nutrition). He has spent thousands of hours working on-field and travelling with sports teams and individual athletes. Sports Physiotherapists are qualified to work at major International Games, such as the Olympics. Tyler is a Sport Physiotherapy Canada examiner and advisor/mentor, and has worked at events such as the Pan Am Games and Canada Games.

If you have an injury as a result of participating in sport, feel confident knowing that your Physiomoves Physiotherapist is among the very best.

For a list of clinics with true "Sports Physiotherapists" working at them, please check out Harry Toor's website: http://www.vancouversportsphysio.com/ and click on "clinics". For more info about Sport Physiotherapy Canada, visit http://www.sportphysio.ca/ .

Along the same lines, we are fortunate to have Registered Sports Massage Therapist Barry Bereziak working full-time at Physiomoves. Barry is one of the few RMTs in the Lower Mainland holding the Sports Massage Therapy credential as well.

Happy New Year!

2008-12-31T15:43:00.000-08:00

The Physiomoves team joins in sending every good wish for the New Year. We thank all our clients, referring Physicians, friends and family who have helped make 2008 a great year for us! We appreciate your support and look forward to helping you remain injury-free in 2009!

Tyler, Krystie, Kristen, and Barry

We'd like to thank all our clients, colleagues, friends and family who support us by referring people and spreading the word about Physiomoves. We see the power of "word of mouth" at work everyday... it continues to be a main source of referrals, and is a true compliment- thank you.

During the month of October we invite you to stop by the clinic to say hello and pick up a little gift package from front reception as a small token of our sincere appreciation. Happy Fall!

Massage Therapy has arrived!

2008-08-27T15:07:00.000-07:00

UBC Faculty Promotion for Tyler!

2008-08-01T12:54:00.000-07:00

Congratulations to Physiomoves Clinic owner, Tyler Dumont, who was recently promoted to Clinical Associate Professor within the UBC Faculty of Medicine, Department of Physical Therapy.

Tyler has been on faculty at UBC since 1998. In 2005 he won the Physiotherapy Association of BC Award of Excellence in Education. Then, in 2006, the Faculty of Medicine honoured him with the Award for Excellence in Teaching.

Tyler loves the teaching aspect of his job, and Physiomoves clients are lucky to receive evidence-based, current information from both he and Krystie (who studied at UBC under Tyler).

Ride for Hope a huge success

2008-07-17T20:16:00.000-07:00

Congratulations to Team Alliance for successfully completing the 2008 Ride for Hope on July 9, 2008. Alliance Cyclists, including Physiomoves Physiotherapy Clinic owner Tyler Dumont, rode 100 miles from Langley to Hope raising funds and awareness for Canuck Place Children's Hospice. They raised a total of $25, 611.56 for Canuck Place.

Above: Team Alliance Ride for Hope Cyclists

Tyler (and his sons Kaelem and Brayden) were in the July 4 Langley Advance in a feature article about the Ride for Hope. Coincidentally, earlier that week Tyler's wife Kelly had her photo in the Langley Times for being the 1st female finisher (6th overall) in the 2008 City of Langley Tri-It Triathlon.

Physiomoves owner Tyler Dumont at local cycling race

2008-06-17T14:12:00.001-07:00

Tyler had a blast at the Junkyard Dog mountain bike race in South Surrey on June 7th. He raced in the 40-49 master expert category (yes, he is officially in that age category!) and finished 4th. His young fans were less than thrilled with the cold, wet weather but were nonetheless very excited to see their Dad having so much fun on his bicycle. How does he have time to train amid his 70+ hour work week you ask? Good question!

Physiomoves at YMCA Healthy Kids Day

2008-06-09T21:36:00.000-07:00

We had so much fun! Kelly (our Mon & Fri p.m. receptionist) and Kelly (Tyler's wife and a registered Occupational Therapist) were the Physiomoves representatives at the YMCA Healthy Kids Day on May 31, 2008. Kids had to correctly identify body parts or muscle groups on our "physiomoves running guy" poster in order to win a prize of their choice. It was nice to see so many friends from the neighbourhood stop by our booth. We also enjoyed meeting lots of great kids and their parents too. If you didn't get a chance to pick up a pen, sticker or brochure (or get your question answered), please feel free to stop by the clinic any time. Don't forget we're on the 2nd floor (#220- 5620 152nd St) =)
