Cervical Rib, extra rib from the neck spine - only on 0.2-0.5% of the population✨ I was lucky enough to spot one at the clinic.

My patient came in with upper left back pain, pinched nerve symptoms in the hand ✋🏼

Some of the symptoms just didn’t add up so we’ve decided to go for a scan.. et voilà ✨

Not saying that this was the CAUSE of her issues, as she’s had this all her life. But this extra rib is definitely influencing the amount of her symptoms ⚡️

Our body is just so incredible.

Thank you to my amazing patient who’s consented and allowed me to share this. This is just so incredible to see.

If you look closely, you’ll also see a joint on the extra rib too 👀

These are my 3rd pair of Vivo’s ❤️

I train, run, work, golf, and walk in them.

Why I love them:

1. It’s wide toe box - allows my toes to spread as I flex my toes. Increases my arch stability and support🦶🏻

2. It’s thin sole - feels like I’m in bare feet, except protected. Also it keeps me agile. Basically a ninja 🥷

3. Free of “arch support” - allows my feet to use what we’re naturally gifted and use my own arch 🌿

4. Flat sole - my glutes and knees are absolutely thanking me for not wrecking them with wedged up shoes for training 🙏

5. Probably the best looking barefoot training shoes in the market at the moment

If you want to dabble into some barefoot shoes, I’d HIGHLY recommend these. I’m not paid to say this at all.

Your feet are your pillar and foundation to the rest of the body. Look after them and they’ll look after you 🤝

Qi 🤍😌

Qi is vital energy that flows throughout the whole body ➰

Acupoint stimulation unblocks Qi stagnation and rebalances it’s movement so that healing can occur.

P.S. also a great way to release mid back tension 🥳

Story time 🦄

My uncle is fighting through cancer and chemo.

📸I got sent this photo of my uncle practicing walking a month ago by my family.

Little did I know, this physio here holding onto my uncle was the same dude who got me through physio school - Clarence.

I didn’t realize until we were catching up about his work, found out he knew my uncle as his patient, then flicked through my phone and found this photo of him in the family chat group.

Gave me goosebumps.

I know exactly one physio in the entire BC, Canada. Also my closest friend through my physio studies.

Small world? Fate? My guardian angel? 👼 regardless I’m very grateful 🤍
