Welcome to my blog! Every month I will be posting a blog on different topics, many of which will be physiotherapy related. Hopefully, you will find the information helpful, interesting or in some way useful.
Firstly, a little about myself-my name is Anna Maria. I have been practicing as a physiotherapist for the past 2.5 years after graduating from the University of Alberta. Growing up I always knew I wanted to pick a profession that involved sports-I mean my first thought was I wanted to be a professional athlete (a NBA star to be specific-we all know that would literally be impossible). I eventually landed on becoming a physiotherapist and haven’t looked back.
About 2 years ago, I tried a boxing class at Repsol with Alex. It was new, exciting, challenging, and frustrating all rolled into one with a coach who expects nothing short of your best effort-I was HOOKED!! Months later I was given an opportunity that I could not pass up. I was not looking to open up my own physiotherapy office but when Alex asked me to join her already established boxing gym UNDISPUTED BOXING (www.undisputedboxing.ca) it was a no brainer. I knew it was going to be extra hours and stepping out of my comfort zone but I was ready for the challenge! Plus opening up an office in a boxing gym where athletes are pushing their bodies to the limit seemed like a natural fit. So in April 2018 Active Mobility Physiotherapy opened!!
In my practice I focus on tailoring your treatment to what you want to achieve (ex. pain relief, returning to sport, functioning at work or maintaining your workout plan, etc). I view us as a team. My appointments are one on one so my attention is solely on you. I like to incorporate needling (ex. acupuncture and dry needling) along with exercises that are targeting your weak areas. I want people to live an active lifestyle that is important to you because I could not imagine a life without moving and staying active. Whether you are a weekend warrior, a regular “Joe”, an amateur boxer/athlete or professional athlete I can help!
I will end off with exciting news- a second Active Mobility Physiotherapy office has opened in the town of Strathmore along with Undisputed Boxing. We are excited to immerse ourselves in the community of Strathmore and area and create a family like we have here at Undisputed Boxing Calgary.
