Did you know that when you have a trigger point in a muscle the whole muscle is actually tightened or contracted? This can often be an indication that something close by in the area, be it another muscle or joint, isn't moving the way that we want it to. Working with a Physiotherapist or Rehab professional can help to figure out what can be done to resolve the current trigger points and prevent future trigger points for developing! So why watch A Physio Named Jonah? For free videos about the human body, injuries, rehabilitation, the world of Physiotherapy, and whatever other shenanigans comes along. Maybe you can learn something new and not feel like you're stuck in a classroom waiting for the bell to ring. A Physio Named Jonah is a channel created by, well, exactly who you think. The channel features primarily Physiotherapy based topics, or things that it would make sense for a Physical Therapist to weigh in on. The goal is to make these often sterile topics interesting and easily accessible to anyone with a few laughs (or forced exhales from your nose if you're alone) along the way. Jonah is a Canadian Physiotherapist who works with a primarily outpatient orthopaedic population at a clinic in Downtown Toronto. He completed his Master's of Physical Therapy at the University of Toronto, with his Bachelors of Sciences specialized in Human Kinetics coming from The University of Ottawa. He is also considered by his parents, girlfriend and dog to be a pretty cool guy. #triggerpoint #musclepain #physiotherapy #physio #physicaltherapy #muscle
