Many first-time clients wonder what actually happens during a Chiropractic adjustment.

Adjustments are controlled, intentional movements designed to support joint mobility and improve how your body moves.

Your Chiropractor will explain what they’re doing and ensure you’re comfortable every step of the way.

The focus is on function, movement, and comfort.

Before any hands-on care begins, your Chiropractor will ask you to complete an assessment.

This helps them understand your health history, movement patterns, and any areas of discomfort or restriction.

The goal is to build a clear picture of how your body moves so care can be personalized to your needs.

Not sure whether to use heat or ice at home?
We asked our RMTs to help break it down for us:
• Ice can help with recent irritation or inflammation
• Heat helps relax tight, stiff muscles

Knowing when to use each can support recovery between treatments.

A common question our RMTs hear: “Why am I sore after a massage?”

It’s more common than you might think. When tight or stressed muscles finally get the care they need, they begin to loosen and move in new ways, similar to how they feel after a good workout. This can create temporary soreness as your body adjusts to improved circulation, muscle activation, and the release of built-up tension.

Think of it as your muscles saying, “Thanks for the reset. I’m adapting and healing.”

A few simple steps can help ease post-massage soreness:
✨ Stay hydrated
✨ Enjoy gentle movement or stretching
✨ Take a warm shower or apply heat if needed

Your body is responding to positive change, and any discomfort usually fades within a day or two. If you ever have questions, your therapist is always happy to help.

Stress doesn’t just affect the mind. It affects the body too.

Tight muscles, shallow breathing, headaches, and fatigue are all common physical responses.

When the body is under stress, the nervous system shifts into protection mode, which can keep muscles tense and limit your ability to fully relax.

Supporting your nervous system is an important part of overall wellness. Gentle movement, deep breathing, and therapies like massage can help calm the body and reduce physical tension.

Taking small steps to unwind can make a meaningful difference.

How often to get Reflexology really depends on your personal goals and how your body responds.

Many people enjoy an occasional treatment for relaxation and to help calm the nervous system. Others choose regular sessions to support stress management, improve balance within the body, or maintain overall wellness.

Paying attention to how you feel after each treatment can help you decide the best frequency for your needs.

Have you started your wellness journey for 2026?

Did you know Acupuncture is based on a network of pathways that run throughout the body? These pathways, called meridians, help connect different systems and support how energy, circulation, and signals move from one area to another.

When a meridian becomes disrupted — due to stress, tension, or imbalance — it can affect how your body feels and functions. Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points along these pathways to help restore balance and support the body’s natural ability to regulate and heal.

Understanding meridian pathways helps explain why Acupuncture can support more than one area at a time — it’s a whole-body approach, not just a local one.

Stress often shows up physically before we notice it mentally.

For many people, it appears first in the neck, shoulders, jaw, or lower back.

Noticing these early signs can help you respond before tension builds.
