PhysioLife Physiotherapy Clinic is excited to support the 9th annual Canadian Cancer Society White Rock/South Surrey Relay for Life. This is the third year PhysioLife has volunteered their services to participants of the relay. PhysioLife will be on hand June 22nd from 6pm to 10pm at Centennial Park providing massage therapy by donation. All proceeds are donated back to the Canadian Cancer Society.

PhysioLife Physiotherapist Andrea Chen recently completed a course specifically dealing with the diagnosis and treatment of running injuries. Andrea has a keen interest in running injuries and has consequently developed a caseload that includes quite a few runners.

Besides dealing with running injuries, the course also focused on the role biomechanics (the runner’s form), and running shoes play in both the occurrence and prevention of injuries. The course was taught by renowned Blaise Dubois, a physiotherapist and consultant for the Canadian national track and field team.

If you’re a runner training for one of many events this spring or summer, and pain or injury is holding you back, or if you want to learn how to prevent injury, please call to book an appointment with Andrea.

PhysioLife Physiotherapist Krystie Cheong has been appointed Physiotherapy Chair of the 2012 BC Summer Games in Surrey. As head therapist for the games, Krystie is responsible for staffing clinics and venues to provide care for approximately 3,000 athletes participating in the games.

Krystie is excited for being involved with an event of this calibre, and the opportunity of providing outstanding care for the athletes.

The BC Summer Games is one of the largest multi-sport events in the province of BC, and has been occurring every other summer since 1978. The last Summer Games was held in 2010 in Langley, BC. For more information about the games, check out the BC Games website.

PhysioLife is proud to announce our clinic’s continuing relationship with the Surrey Eagles Junior A Hockey Club. This is PhysioLife’s second season as the official clinic of the team. Our goal is to help the players recover quickly from injuries and hopefully help the team capture the 2012 RBC Cup!

The Eagles have been an integral part of the South Surrey and White Rock communities for over 18 seasons. The team plays out of the South Surrey Arena, in the heart of South Surrey. For tickets, or for more information on the team, check out the Surrey Eagles website
