"As a physiotherapist currently practicing in Canada I called on the Physical Activity Line to help me develop a specific hydrotherapy exercise protocol for one of my patients who has both osteoarthritis of the knee and hip. I was promptly provided with a series of evidence based studies and resources that allowed me to easily develop a unique and effective protocol for my patient. The Physical Activity Line is an invaluable resource for both professionals and the general public for advancing the science of exercise based therapy in Canada."

"Thank you so much for your support of the Wellness Connections participants. I feel strongly that the ongoing support that you are able to offer will be key in helping participants stay focussed on the positive outcomes of the program." (Carolyn Brandly: Seniors Wellness Coordinator, City of Richmond).
"Our exercise program could not have happened without the assistance and expertise of the PAL staff. The staff members who co-facilitated our group were essential in group planning while providing support, knowledge, and encouragement to the participants. Their enthusiasm and genuine interest in wellness and physical activity significantly increased group members’ buy-in to the program and interest in exercise and physical activity. The youth benefited from individualized attention in a small and supportive setting." (~ Anonymous).
"I coordinate the Wellness Program for an organization that works with people who live with mental illness and called the PAL hotline in order to get tips and insight on how to motivate my clients to become more physically active, and how to reduce barriers to wellness. On the phone, I spoke with Marc Faktor, a physiologist who clearly understood my organization’s needs. He promptly followed up with emails containing plenty of relevant material – some of which I’ve already adapted to use as handouts! I’m looking forward to continuing to use the PAL as a community resource." (Charlene, Executive Assistant and Wellness Program Coordinator). |
