Welcome to MOOV Strong, a pioneering strength training program located in the vibrant heart of Ottawa. At MOOV Physiotherapy, we redefine strength training by integrating the latest evidence-based practices with expert insights in sports medicine rehab and women's health.
Our program is uniquely designed to cater to a diverse range of needs. Whether you're an athlete aiming for peak performance, recovering from an injury, or embarking on your strength training journey, MOOV Strong is your ideal fitness ally. We focus on building a resilient body and mind, going beyond the conventional lifting of weights.
MOOV Strong stands out with its foundation in the best practices of sports medicine rehab and women's health. This specialized approach ensures that every aspect of your training is aligned with the latest research and expert opinions in the field.
One of the cornerstones of our program is the emphasis on strength training to combat, prevent and manage pelvic health issues. Women facing challenges such as Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) and Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) can find significant relief and improvement through our tailored strength training regimens. By focusing on the pelvic floor and surrounding musculature, our exercises are designed to enhance pelvic stability and function, thereby alleviating symptoms and improving overall quality of life.
The transition through menopause and perimenopause can be a challenging time for many women, marked by physical and hormonal changes. With MOOV Strong, we recognize the critical role of strength training in easing this transition. Our programs are specifically tailored to address the unique needs of women during these stages, helping to manage symptoms such as weight gain, decreased bone density, and muscle loss. By incorporating strength training, our clients can experience improved metabolism, better mood regulation, and enhanced overall well-being.
Osteoporosis poses a significant risk to women, particularly post-menopause, due to the decrease in bone density. Our strength training programs are a proactive approach to this challenge. By engaging in regular, guided weight-bearing exercises, our clients can effectively slow down bone density loss, and in some cases, even reverse it. This not only reduces the risk of fractures but also empowers women to maintain an active and independent lifestyle.
Our individualized sessions are tailored to your specific needs, taking into account any musculoskeletal or pelvic health concerns. At MOOV Strong, your health and well-being are our top priorities, ensuring a safe and effective strength training experience.
We understand that the journey from rehabilitation to fitness is unique and often challenging, especially for those dealing with chronic pain or recovering from injuries. This is where our expertise as Physiotherapists becomes your greatest asset. We are not just trainers; we are your allies in health, equipped with an extensive understanding of the body, its mechanisms of injury, and pain management.
Our personalized strength training sessions are meticulously crafted to respect and respond to your body's specific needs. We recognize that when dealing with chronic pain or injuries, strength training must be approached with precision and care. Our programs are designed to avoid overloading tissues beyond their capacity for adaptation. This careful balance is crucial in preventing flare-ups and setbacks, ensuring a safe and effective progression in your fitness journey.
Too often, individuals attempting to return to fitness post-rehabilitation do so without the necessary guidance, leading to discouragement and further injury. With MOOV Strong, we aim to change that narrative. Our role extends beyond guiding you through exercises; we provide a supportive environment where your journey back to fitness is monitored, adjusted, and optimized according to your evolving needs. This approach not only fosters physical strength but also builds confidence in your body's abilities.
At MOOV Physiotherapy, we recognize the unique challenges faced by athletes – from weekend warriors to elite competitors – especially when recovering from significant injuries. Our program is meticulously designed to not just aid in recovery but to "bulletproof" your return to sport. We focus on addressing any residual imbalances, weaknesses, and proprioceptive issues, as well as improving flexibility, power, and dynamic stability that may be affected post-injury.
Our approach involves a comprehensive analysis of all systems impacting an athlete's confidence or readiness related to their sport-specific movements. We work closely with each athlete to identify and address these "blind spots". While the tissues may have healed, reestablishing brain-body connections and repatterning movements is crucial for a full return to form. Our program ensures that athletes not only recover but also regain their peak performance with enhanced movement efficiency and reduced risk of re-injury.
For athletes experiencing recurring injuries, MOOV Strong offers a solution that delves deeper than surface-level symptoms. We understand that sometimes, an old injury, never fully rehabilitated, can be the root cause. Other times, underlying challenges like scoliosis, leg length discrepancies, or fractures impacting skeletal alignment may play a role. Our team takes a detailed history and examines all systems influencing the injury site (inter-regional dependence) to uncover and address underlying issues.
Our program also emphasizes the importance of coordination and brain/body connections in injury prevention and recovery. We assess and refine training patterns, considering factors often overlooked, such as sleep, stress, and nutrition, which are vital for adaptation to training. Our Physiotherapists are skilled in identifying and rectifying issues that may hinder an athlete's performance and progression.
