Nagging aches and pains?

It’s time to deal with them now!

A dancer with hip pain?

A cheerleader with low back pain?

A ringette player with wrist pain?

As we approach the preseason, volume is just going to ramp up from here. You must take care of and address the problems you’re feeling now, before you risk getting hurt worse.

As a rule of thumb, the pain takes about as long to go away as it has been present. So instead of ignoring it for months, get it checked out sooner rather than later and help it go away faster!

My promise to you is that STOP is only reserved for serious cases where you risk doing more harm.

I’m not pulling you for rest and ice every time you feel some pain.

My goal is to build trust with you, so that you know that when I say stop, it means stop.

Instead, we work to modify and implement pain-modifying measures like taping and bracing, while we work towards solving the root cause of your issue.

My motto is “don’t wait until you need me”

The better a relationship we have together, the better I know you and your body, which helps me react reasonably when it comes time for pain and injury!

For my fellow overachievers .. you need to hear this!

I recently quit two of my four jobs.

And no—it wasn’t because I hated them. I actually enjoyed both jobs!

But I had to admit something to myself: just because I could fit everything into my schedule didn’t mean I had the capacity to keep doing it all.

And there’s a difference.

Capacity isn’t just having an open hour in your calendar.

It’s having the mental, physical and emotional energy to show up, do good work—and still have something left for yourself afterward.

I was doing the most, but I wasn’t doing my best.

I was stretched so thin that I couldn’t give my full attention to any one job.

My business wasn’t getting the energy it deserved. My relationships weren’t getting the energy they deserved. And neither was I.

For a long time, I wore being busy like a badge of honour. Four jobs? Look how hardworking I am. Look how much I can handle.

But there is no prize for being the person who can carry the most while quietly running herself into the ground.

Quitting wasn’t about giving up. It was about creating enough space to show up fully for the work and the life I’m choosing to keep.

As a female athlete we thrive on achieving success. Growing and getting better.

You never say no to an oppourtunity, you always figure out a way to get it all done.

But at what point does that always putting the achievement first, get in the way of putting yourself first?

In a fast paced world, burnout is more prevalent than ever.

Take care of yourself first. There’s only one of you!!!

Cheerleading doesn’t happen in 1 perdictable plane

It happens in the unpredictable

the moments between stunts and sticking the skill

The wobbles and the shakes that can make or break the skill and the formation

Being able to react quickly will allow your athlete to recover quickly, nailing skills AND preventing injury!

Have you tried these exercises?

Yesterday, I met with a mom and her daughter who is a competitive dancer.

She told me she wanted to get stronger.

Not because she was injured.

Not because she had to.

Because she wanted higher jumps, better turns, and more confidence in her dancing.

And I thought... YES. 👏

Here’s the thing:

Dancers, cheerleaders, and gymnasts are athletes.

We ask them to jump, land, sprint, tumble, leap, absorb huge forces, balance on one leg, and perform with incredible power and technique.

Yet in many artistic sports, “conditioning” often focuses on cardio, endurance, flexibility, or stability. Typical exercises use bands and bodyweight. Never truly challenging the muscle.

Those qualities are absolutely important, but they don’t maximize muscle growth, strength, or power.

Struggling with falling out of your turns? You need to work on generating rotational power.

Trying to get your aerial? You need lower body explosiveness to help get you up and over.

Muscles burning and feeling heavy by the end of your routine? They need strength and endurance to give them the capacity to handle a 2 minute, powerful routine.

All of this comes from progressive strength training.

Building muscle increases your capacity to produce force. More force means more powerful jumps, stronger tumbling, better control, improved endurance throughout routines, and a body that’s better prepared for the demands of training and competition.

Almost every field, court, and ice sport includes weight lifting as part of athletic development.

Artistic athletes deserve that same advantage.

At FAME Physio, we combine physiotherapy, strength & conditioning, and athlete wellness to help dancers, cheerleaders, gymnasts, and female athletes build stronger, healthier bodies that can perform at their highest level.

🩸what is a period??

02/02/2026

🩸What do periods have to do with performance?

I know, I know, periods SUCK!

And yes, I know it’s frustrating when your body, your energy levels, cramps, pain, moodswings, cravings etc etc etc get in the way of you feeling your best throughout your cycle.

Well, look no further, FAME is here to give you the low down on how your PERIOD actually works, and how it impacts your body throughout your cycle.

Knowledge is POWER! The more you know about your cycle, what’s actually happening in your body and what the heck you can do about it the better!

AND we’re here to myth bust.
Cycle syncing is OUT
Cycle MASTERY is in

Because I’m NOT telling my national ballet school, elite gymnasts, NCAA hockey hopefuls that they can only do low impact activity in their luteal phase 🙄 … thanks but no thanks.

We continue to hold back female athletes if we tell them that 2 weeks of every month they have to stick to yoga and meditation … tell that to Tessa, Christine, Marie-Philip and Summer as they go win Olympic Gold Medals …. 🤷‍♀️

Let me give you some REAL, EVIDENCE-BASED, ACTIONABLE advice that will help you feel empowered by your body and not held back!

Join me for FAME PERIOD WEEK !! Let me know in the comments below if you’re excited!! 👇🏻

I’m heading to coach a tournament this weekend!

There’s nothing better than the excitement that comes with the beginning of a tournament. It’s the hotel stay, the team bonding, the grit and determination to make it through a weekend with your eye on the prize.

But, too often, I see teams falter, lose bodies with injuries and have a decrease in performance over the weekend.

Most commonly, I see overworked muscles, muscle strains and overall fatigue

Here are my 4 tips to have your best tournament yet

🥗 Fuelling is non-negotiable
Having 2 high intensity games about an hour and a half each could burn anywhere from 1200-2000 extra calories for the day .. keep in mind that doesn’t include warm up, cool down and everyday energy expenditure. It’s non-negotiable to be eating ENOUGH calories to keep your energy up throughout the weekend
🔥❄️ Warm Up/Cool Downs
Think of warm up and cool downs as your time to truly prepare and take care of your body. Your warm up should follow a RAMP style protocol that raises heart rate and body temperature, mobilize and activates the muscles you’re about to use and brings you up to game speed. Your cool down should be the opposite, from game speed back down to normal. This can also include longer periods of stretching and foam rolling
🧘🏼‍♀️ Recovery Modalities
On top of nutrition, hydration and sleep, this is where you get to use the fun tools - massage gun, ice baths, epsom salt baths,
💤Sleep over everything
I know you want to spend time with your friends, scroll tik tok or just have a bad schedule. But if you can prioritize 7-9 hours of sleep, in a cool, dark room, you will feel energized and ready to go tomorrow. An added bonus of feeling less irritable and short with teams, parents and siblings!!!
