🚨Help us WELCOME Janie, locum REGISTERED MASSAGE THERAPIST (RMT) to our Osoyoos and Oliver clinics!📣

Janie graduated from the Registered Massage Therapy program at the Atlantic College of Therapeutic Massage in 2018.

Since then, Janie has worked with a wide range of patients, from those managing chronic pain and stress to individuals recovering from injuries, or those just looking to feel better in their everyday lives. Patient-focused and highly intuitive, Janie tailors each treatment to the unique needs of her patients, drawing from a broad skill set to create truly personalized treatments.

Janie places strong emphasis on supporting the nervous system, believing that lasting change happens when the body feels safe, grounded, and heard. Her treatments are designed to be both effective and deeply restorative, delivered in a space that is open, comforting, and welcoming to all.

Outside the clinic, Janie enjoys disconnecting from technology and exploring the outdoors—hiking, camping, paddle-boarding, skiing, and seeking out new adventures through travel.

Welcome Janie RMT!!🙌🏼

✨Janie will be joining our clinics for the next month so get in while you can as she will book up fast!:)

📣Did y’all know…
We offer SHOCKWAVE THERAPY now at our Osoyoos, Oliver, and Penticton clinics!

So what is SHOCKWAVE and how can it help?!🤔

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that involves the delivery of shockwaves to injured soft tissue in order to promote healing and reduce pain.

The acoustic waves used in Shockwave therapy interact with your tissue causing effects of accelerated tissue repair, cell growth, analgesia, and mobility restoration. The purpose of this therapy is to simply re trigger your body’s own natural healing response.

Shockwave therapy offers physiotherapists another tool for treating stubborn, chronic conditions. There are many tendon conditions that just don't seem to respond to traditional forms of treatment, and having the option of shockwave treatments allows our physiotherapists another way in helping to resolve your condition.

We use shockwave treatments primarily in more chronic stages of injuries and is highly successful with issues that haven’t responded to more-conservative treatments including:

- plantar fasciitis
- frozen shoulder
- rotator cuff conditions
- Achilles’ tendon issues
- tennis or golfers elbow
- knee injuries
- calcifications
- trigger points
- and more…

Although our team of physiotherapists pride ourselves as hands on manual therapists, we also pride ourselves on having the most up-to-date researched, and medically proven ways to help our patients. Shockwave therapy provides us with another way to help us to be able to guide your body to heal itself and get back in its right direction.

For more information on how Shockwave therapy can help you, or for a FREE CONSULTATION with one of our therapists, call us today. Our team is always happy to help:)

🚨New SUPERPOWER UNLOCKED!📣

Congratulations Kristine, PHYSIOTHERAPIST, in recently completing her Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) (Dry Needling) certification!🙌🏼

What is Dry Needling or IMS??🤔

IMS uses acupuncture needles to specifically target injured muscles, which have tightened/contracted as a result of injury/stress. The needles are inserted into the affected areas, which can be directly into the tight bands of muscles, or near the spine where the nerves have become irritated. Generally, the insertion of the needles is relatively painless, however into a tight band, you may feel the sensation of muscle cramping. The result is to relax the tight bands of muscle, improve local blood flow to the area and normalize nerve function.

Your First Treatment:

Your first treatment will involve a thorough assessment of your injury to determine the areas causing your pain. It will generally involve a few needles as each person will react quite differently, and it is not possible to know exactly how you will react. You will generally feel some cramping during treatment directly into the tight bands of muscle and some soreness for up to 24-48 hours after the treatment.

IMS May Help With The Following Conditions:
- Chronic neck/lower back pain
- Post Motor Vehicle Accident Injuries
- Tennis elbow
- Tendonitis/tendinopathy
- Shoulder Impingement
- Chronic Muscle tightness
- And many more:)

IMS Should Be Avoided:
- During pregnancy
- If you have a compromised immune system or fever
- If there is a local infection or wound in the area
- Post-surgery for 3-6 months
- Post-mastectomy/lymph node removal in that limb
- If you are taking blood thinners or have haemophilia. Those who are taking blood thinners may be eligible for IMS with prior consultation and approval in writing from the doctor.

📣 NEW YEAR ANNOUNCEMENT! 🚨

We are beyond proud to WELCOME BACK Charlotte, now PHYSIOTHERAPIST, to our Grand Forks clinic family!

Almost 4 years ago exactly to the day, we were welcoming Charlotte as our new kinesiologist, and now thrilled to have Charlotte back as a physiotherapist. Congratulations Charlotte for all of your hard work and dedication to health care and accomplishing your goal in becoming a physio. We couldn’t be prouder!!😊

Let’s meet Charlotte!

Charlotte completed her Master of Physical Therapy through the University of British Columbia’s Northern Cohort and holds a Bachelor of Human Kinetics from UBC Okanagan. Having spent most of her life in the Boundary, she’s excited to be back in the area and working in the local community.

Charlotte enjoys helping people move better and get back to the activities they love. She’s excited to be joining the team as a Physiotherapist after previously working at our South Okanagan clinics as a Kinesiologist, where she gained valuable experience supporting clients through their rehab journey. Charlotte takes an exercise-based approach to physiotherapy, combining individualized strengthening, movement education, and hands-on treatment to help clients feel confident and supported throughout their recovery.

Outside of the clinic, Charlotte enjoys spending time with her family, relaxing with a good book, and being outdoors — especially hiking, running, and paddleboarding.

Let’s WELCOME BACK Charlotte to our clinic families and communities!👏🏼

✨Charlotte will be starting to take patients in our Grand Forks clinic as of January 19th!✨
