Meet Megan Wallenius — Your Stittsville Physiotherapist
BSc Kinesiology — Queen's University | MSc Physiotherapy — Brunel University London
Megan's path into physiotherapy started on the gym floor. After completing her BSc in Kinesiology at Queen's University, she worked as a Strength and Conditioning Coach right here at BTB — helping members build strength, mobility, and resilience through training. That hands-on coaching experience led her to pursue her Master's in Physiotherapy at Brunel University London, where she trained alongside professionals treating everyone from post-surgical patients to active seniors. Now practicing as BTB's Resident Physiotherapist, Megan combines clinical skill with a coach's eye for movement — helping you get out of pain and stay there.

Why You Would Benefit From Physiotherapy
Pain While Lifting? Here’s When to Push Through — And When to Book a Physio Session
Is It Pain or Just Muscle Soreness?
If you lift regularly, you’re probably no stranger to a little discomfort. A solid training session will leave you feeling the kind of soreness that says, “I worked hard today.” But what happens when that twinge in your shoulder or your lower back starts showing up mid-lift — or worse, lingers for days?
This is where understanding your pain becomes critical.
When It’s Okay to Push Through
Not all discomfort is bad. In fact, in some cases, it’s part of the strength-building process.
✅ Mild muscle soreness (DOMS) 24–48 hours after training
✅ Fatigue or slight burn near the end of a set
✅ General stiffness after increasing intensity or volume
These are all normal — and often expected — responses to progressive training.
Red Flags: When to Stop and Seek Help
If you’re experiencing any of the following, it’s time to hit pause and consult a physiotherapist:
🚩 Sharp, stabbing, or sudden pain during a lift
🚩 Pain that lingers more than 72 hours or worsens with movement
🚩 Pain that changes how you move or causes compensation
🚩 Pain radiating down the leg, arm, or into joints (back, shoulder, knee, etc.)
🚩 Recurring pain in the same area with no clear cause
Pushing through these can lead to more serious issues — including tendonitis, joint instability, and chronic injury.
Why Lifting with Pain Can Do More Harm Than Good
Training through pain isn’t a badge of honor — it’s often a fast track to time off. And for active professionals, parents, and athletes, that lost time can mean:
Reduced strength and progress
Missed work or events
Frustration and setbacks
By booking a session with a physiotherapist trained in strength-based rehab, you can often catch issues early — and keep training through a modified, intentional plan.
What Happens in a Physio Session at BTB
At Between The Bumpers in Stittsville, our physiotherapy team works directly inside the gym environment. That means your treatment isn’t limited to a clinic table — it often includes:
A full mobility assessment
Strength and movement testing under load
Personalized modifications to your current program
Hands-on treatment when needed
A clear path to keep training safely
Whether you're dealing with shoulder pain from overhead pressing, lower back tightness from deadlifts, or knee discomfort during squats, we tailor your care to your actual movements.
The Bottom Line: Don’t Ignore It
Pain is information. Ignoring it or numbing it with Advil doesn’t fix the root cause.
If you’re unsure whether it’s “just soreness” or something more — don’t guess. Let our Stittsville physiotherapy team help you figure it out.
✅ Book a Physiotherapy Assessment Today
We're here to help you stay strong, mobile, and pain-free — without losing training time. Whether you’re lifting for life or sport, our gym-based physiotherapy approach is built to keep you moving.
