Good morning to all my regular clients!

As you may have heard, Premier Moe and our Chief Medical Health Officer, Dr. Shahab, just unveiled the Re-Open Saskatchewan plan this Thursday morning.

RMT's are part of the Phase 2 roll-out which means May 19th, I can start accepting appointments again.

Of course, this may be subject to change based on continued monitoring of the virus and its transmission.

Until then, welcome back!You can book online here:

To all of those who have young kids, grankids, or niblings:

Helping your kids with reading can be a learning opportunity for you, as well. Especially when it's relevant to what is currently going on in our lives right now.

Check out Dr. Taylor Purvis' book on Mr. Corona:

To all of my regular clients:

How are your aches and pains doing?

I know it hasn't been easy, especially now that you're not able to get massages when things start bothering you. I hope things will turn back to normal sooner rather than later so that we can all get back to our regular routines.

For the time being, I do have better news...

If your aches and pains are coming back, feel free to call, email, or message me and we can set up a time to do an online e-Pain management session.

On top of providing hands-on manual therapy, did you know that I also am trained in providing patient education in therapeutic exercises and self-care? This means we can have a consultation in discussing strategies that you can implement right away to ease the pain while we wait out this pandemic.

So, even though my physical practice is temporarily closed, we can still work together towards managing your pain via telehealth. If your muscles are getting achy, sore, or tight and you need a little guidance, let me know.
