Today, we’re celebrating someone who brings so much kindness, compassion, and positivity to our PPP family! 💕 Shelly has a way of making everyone around her feel comfortable, cared for, and welcome — and we’re so lucky to have her on our team.

Her impact reaches far beyond our walls, and we’re grateful for all the ways she gives back to those around her.

Happy Birthday, Shelly! 🥳 We hope your day is filled with all the joy, love, and laughter you bring to others throughout the year. You are truly appreciated, and we’re so happy to celebrate YOU today! 💗🎈

🍂 Hello, October! 🎃💪

A new month means a fresh opportunity to move, grow, and get one step closer to the strongest version of YOU.

Our Quote of the Month from Mark Twain says it perfectly:
✨ “The secret of getting ahead is getting started.” ✨

Don’t wait for the perfect day, the perfect workout, or the perfect moment. Start where you are. Start with what you have. Just start.

Whether you’re getting back into a routine, chasing a new goal, or simply showing up for yourself—October is your month to take that first step and keep moving forward. 🧡

Let’s make this month about consistency over perfection, progress over excuses, and strength inside and out.

🏥 Having Surgery? Don’t Wait Until After Surgery to Start Planning Your Recovery! 💪

If you have an upcoming surgery scheduled, there’s a lot to think about — but one conversation that can make a BIG difference is the one you have with your surgeon before your procedure.

Before surgery, make sure you understand:

🔹 What should I expect after surgery?
🔹 What will my recovery timeline look like?
🔹 When can I start moving or exercising again?
🔹 Will I need physical therapy?
🔹 When should I begin PT?
🔹 Are there any restrictions or precautions I need to follow?
🔹 What should I be doing before surgery to help prepare?

And if your surgeon recommends physical therapy, don’t wait until after surgery to call and schedule.

At Primary Prevention Physiotherapy and other clinics, we can sometimes be booked several weeks to a month out for new evaluations. That’s especially true when patients are looking for individualized care, attention, and a clinic they trust.

⏰ The time it takes to get that first appointment matters.

If you know you’ll need PT after surgery, consider scheduling your evaluation as soon as your surgery date is set. You can always reschedule if your surgery gets postponed or your surgeon changes your plan — but having your PT appointment on the calendar means one less thing to worry about while you’re recovering.

Your recovery starts with a plan. 💙

Talk to your surgeon. Know what to expect. Ask questions. And if PT is part of your recovery, get ahead of the schedule.

📲 Have questions about getting started with PT after surgery? Give our team a call — we’re happy to help you plan your next steps.

Your surgeon’s instructions should always guide your individual recovery and when it is appropriate to begin physical therapy.
