Welcome to spring. The bears are not the only ones who come out of hibernation. Now is the time we start to venture outside and explore what the outdoors offers. In Metro Vancouver there are so many different ways to explore and stay active, from hiking and walking trails throughout the city and mountains, to an increasing number of cycling routes and mountain biking trails, to kayaking, dragon boating and golfing. Use your imagination and do what you enjoy.

 

  April showers bring May flowers and new additions to Lifemoves. Sahba will be available full time at the end of April. We are also interviewing for one or two new team members. We are excited that we are being sought as a destination for starting a Kinesiology career from as far away as Ontario.

 

  Knee pain and knee injuries seem to be a very dominant part of our practice. Whether it is an ACL reconstruction you are recovering from while trying to get back to playing soccer, or you have an arthritic knee and want to walk more easily, a Lifemoves Kinesiologist can help guide your exercise program.

 

  In this issue we have a beginner program to help strengthen your legs and reduce muscle imbalances. We also have the answer to last month's Quick Poll question in Stretch Tip.

 

Sincerely,
