It’s funny but true! Why are some points super spicy 🌶️

Reactions to needling can vary but some factors can be:
🌶️ muscle tightness
🌶️ injury acuity
🌶️ skin and nerve ending variability
🌶️nervous system drive
🌶️sleep
🌶️use of stimulants (ex coffee)
🌶️emotional state
🌶️ belief of treatment importance

Further from that there are ways therapists can make this treatment more comfortable for you. Don’t forget to ask us how at your next session!

Shoulders are complex and often if they are still stiff from stretching you might need to add some mobility too!

These 4 exercises are done in gravity eliminated planes, making them suitable for cranky shoulders. The addition of the ball adds a load through muscle activation. Try each exercises 10x 2 sets.

Save them, share them with a friend! Let’s all go into gardening season with happy shoulders 💪🏼

Amy’s favorite piece of advice is to look for those ‘hidden’ rehab opportunities.

She believes that effective recovery isn’t solely a dedicated hour of exercise; often, it’s just a tiny tweak in how you sit for coffee, how you reach for a shelf, or how you move while you’re busy at home. It’s all about making your daily world work for your body, so you can stay strong and resilient without the stress of a heavy schedule!

When we asked Kristen about her training in trauma informed practice and what it meant in the clinic here was her answer.

“Trauma-informed practice means understanding that many patients walk into my office carrying more than physical pain. Past injuries, medical experiences, stress, or emotional trauma can all shape how the body feels and responds to touch. Trauma-informed care isn’t a “special technique.” It’s a mindset. It’s collaboration. It’s honouring your story.”

Healing happens best in an environment of trust.

October is Chiropractic Month and we are celebrating our two amazing clinicians, Ashley and Kristen!

These two extraordinary women have so much more then their education behind them. Both are passionate about helping the community reach their highest version of health. Both have lots of post graduate education behind them including soft tissue practices, women and paediatric health, holistic nutrition, trauma informed practice… the list goes on and on. And finally, both light up the room with their smile and laughter.

You asked, we delivered! Now offering 30 min TCM Cupping Treatments with Alison!

TCM Cupping

“Where there’s stagnation, there will be pain. Remove the stagnation, and you remove the pain.”  Chinese Proverb

Cupping is a traditional technique that uses glass cups and the heat of real fire to disperse and break up stagnation and congestion. By drawing congested blood and toxins to the surface fire cupping can give immediate pain relief, enhanced blood and lymphatic circulation, and support your immune system! Combined with acupuncture it is an extremely effective treatment for getting rid of lingering colds and viruses! Make an appointment to warm up with us today! Online booking available!
