Announcement

We are relieved to announce that we will continue to remain open during the next lock down.

We are very sad to see the amount of businesses that will suffer during this time here in our city of Ottawa. As a whole we have done extremely well at reducing the number of cases, and we don't quite agree with the blanket strategy being deployed by the government. We agree that something must be done, but use a a surgical knife rather than a blunt hammer.

To all the other businesses affected, stay strong and stand tall. You can make it through.

Home workplace pain 🤕?

One of the biggest concerns our patients have been complaining of since getting back to full time work at home is mid back pain.

Most peoples home work stations look great, but aren't very functional Slouching is one of the biggest issues we see.

Incorporating simple banded rows into your everyday can help start the process of counteracting those stresses. We have a huge bag of magic tricks we use on top of these!

Ask any questions below 👇🏽or book and appointment with us on our main page.

New Safety Protocols

With the increase in cases here in Ottawa we have reviewed our screening and sanitization protocols.

We have included temperature checks at the front door. If you have a fever, we will kindly ask you to call back and re-schedule your appointment to a later date.

We have purchased new HEPA air filters for ever room as an added layer of protection.

We have acquired new disinfectant wipes with an approved COVID-19 kill time of 30 seconds.

We hope to be able to continue providing the best possible care to our patients while adding further safety to each visit.

Thank you Catherine!

It's with mixed emotions that we say goodbye to Catherine. She's been a staple at AHI Hintonburg since day 1. Quick with a smile and even faster with the mouse/keyboard. She made everyone feel at home and welcome.

She embodied the vision and scope of Active Health and helped so many people along the way. We all can't thank her enough.

Cat will continue to answer phone/emails outside of regular work hours, so you can still get your fix there for the time being.

We are currently looking for someone to move into Cat's shoes, so if you know of anyone with her traits, send a DM!
