💙 Help Us Make Some Noise About Pre-Eclampsia! 💙

We’re honoured to be supporting the Cara HELLPs Fundraiser again this year!

Pre-eclampsia and HELLP syndrome can have devastating consequences for both mom and baby. They can develop during pregnancy or even after delivery, and because symptoms aren’t always obvious, awareness can make a difference.

The Cara HELLPs fundraiser was created by Jill Young in memory of her daughter, Cara, who tragically passed away from HELLP syndrome and pre-eclampsia at 35 weeks pregnant. Jill has turned an unimaginable loss into an opportunity to educate, raise awareness, and help fund research aimed at better recognizing, treating, and preventing pre-eclampsia.

This is a cause that deserves our attention—and our voices. 💙

🏃‍♀️ Join the Walk/Run: October 3, 2026

Whether you participate, donate, volunteer, or simply share this post, you’re helping spread awareness.

Because pre-eclampsia may be a silent disease—but we don’t have to be silent about it. 💙

💙 Let’s Make Some Noise About Pre-Eclampsia 💙

Lakeview Physiotherapy is proud to once again be a sponsor of the Cara HELLPs Fundraiser, supporting awareness, education, research, and prevention of pre-eclampsia and HELLP syndrome.

Pre-eclampsia can be a silent and life-threatening complication of pregnancy, and it can also occur after delivery. We want to help make some noise about this important condition so that more people recognize the signs, understand the risks, and have access to the care and research needed to save lives.

The Cara HELLPs initiative was started by Jill Young, who tragically lost her daughter, Cara, to HELLP syndrome and pre-eclampsia at just 35 weeks of pregnancy. Jill’s story is a heartbreaking reminder of why awareness and research are so important. While she has the incredible joy of being a grandmother to Blakely, the loss of Cara continues to run deep. 💙

The 2026 Cara HELLPs Walk/Run is happening October 3, 2026!

🎉 Welcome to the Lakeview team, Johnny! 🎉

We’re excited to welcome Johnny to Lakeview Physiotherapy & Movement Studio! 👋

Johnny earned his Master of Physical Therapy from the University of Sydney and has continued his education with advanced training in dry needling (Elevate Level II), Mulligan techniques for the upper quadrant, and Fascial Stretch Therapy Level 1.

Before becoming a physiotherapist, Johnny worked as a personal trainer at the University of Alberta, helping clients improve their fitness, prevent injuries, and stay active in the sports and activities they love.

He has experience treating a wide range of conditions, including muscle and ligament injuries, arthritis, joint replacements, motor vehicle accident injuries, and neck and back pain. Johnny believes that understanding your diagnosis is an important part of recovery and takes the time to create a personalized treatment plan for each client. His approach combines education, hands-on manual therapy, and individualized exercise to help people achieve lasting results.

As an athlete who successfully recovered from an ACL injury and returned to competitive track and field, Johnny understands the physical and mental challenges that come with rehabilitation. He brings that firsthand experience to his practice, supporting clients from the early stages of injury through to a confident return to full function. 💪

Outside the clinic, you’ll find Johnny rock climbing, hiking, or weight training. He is also fluent in Cantonese and conversational in Mandarin, allowing him to connect with and care for clients in the language they are most comfortable using.

We’re so happy to have you on the team, Johnny! Welcome to Lakeview! 💙
