We are excited to welcome Denise Holland to our practice!

Denise brings over 30 years of experience as both a Manual Osteopath and a Massage Therapist, with a specialized focus on chronic, unresolved pain and energetic blockages. She is also a professor in both fields, sharing her expertise with the next generation of therapists.

Originally from Brighton, Denise has been practicing in Calgary and is thrilled to be moving back home. She will be in Brighton from August 18 – September 3, offering in-person sessions, and will return each month to provide follow-up care. In Spring 2026, Denise will be here full-time.

Her treatments combine a unique blend of visceral and cranial techniques, joint mobilizations, soft tissue therapy, her signature Tissue Melting™ method, and intuitive energy healing — all woven into one seamless, deeply restorative experience.

"I believe in being part of your healing team, removing deep-rooted blockages that are not allowing you to get optimal healing from your healthcare team."

If you’ve been living with long-standing pain or feel like something is blocking your full recovery, Denise’s approach may be the missing piece in your healing journey. Appointments are available now for her August 18–September 3 visit.

Fall Prevention 2: Be Mindful of Your Surroundings

Be careful with how you go about common activities. Many injuries happen during everyday activities because we can get careless when performing these regular tasks. Try to not rush to get jobs done, wear supportive clothing and slip-resistant footwear, do not climb on unstable surfaces to reach objects, and keep commonly used objects within easy reach.

These tips can be used in any setting (e.g. at home, at work, or in a gym setting, etc.)

Fall Prevention 1: Evaluate your physical health

Regular exercise is an important part of healthy aging. The current Canadian 24-hour movement guidelines recommend aging adults get two and a half hours per week of moderate-intensity cardiovascular/aerobic exercise, this can include activities such as a brisk walk. Current recommendations also suggest performing strength training exercises two or more days per week. This works out to approximately 20 minutes per day. If exercise is not part of your routine, it’s not too late to start. The important thing is to find something that you enjoy, to make it easier to maintain.

Along with regular activity, you need to get a balance of nutrients through your diet to keep your body healthy. Try to make nutritious choices and eat at regular intervals to provide a good base for your body. Low blood sugar due to hunger can cause dizziness or lightheadedness that can contribute to falls.

a) Push the snow as far as possible to limit the amount of lifting you're doing.

b) When lifting, lift with your legs and brace your core/abdominal muscles. Try not to twist when throwing the snow off of the shovel.

c) Take short breaks when needed and make sure to stay hydrated.

Seek care if you are experiencing pain or any abnormal feeling in your body. You can always book an appointment with us ;)
