🌟 Welcoming Krysten! 🌟

As we settle into our new clinic at 1200 Alpha Lake Road, that has room to grow — we’re starting by welcoming Krysten De Florenca, RMT to the Mend team. 🤍

Krysten brings a grounded and thoughtful approach to massage therapy, rooted in supporting the body’s natural balance while helping you move and feel your best.

With training from the Vancouver College of Massage Therapy — and her own journey through injury and recovery — Krysten’s treatments blend movement + manual therapy to engage the body’s interconnected structures: fascia, joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments.

The result? Restored mobility, reduced tension, and a calmer nervous system that supports long-term resilience.

Whether you’re:
• returning from an injury
• managing chronic or persistent pain
• easing day-to-day tightness
• reducing stress
• or staying strong for a life lived outside

Krysten is here to support your goals and help you feel more connected to your body.

We’re so excited to have her as part of this next chapter at Mend — new space, new possibilities, and more hands-on support than ever.

Krysten starts Jan 2nd!! | Online booking now open 👉 https://mendhealth.janeapp.com

Raising the Bar. 🤓
Just wrapped up an incredible weekend with and Dr. Jamie Hampton () completing the Pelvic Floor Acupuncture & Dry Needling Certification.
This course filled a huge gap that most practitioners have — because if you treat the human body, every muscle and every layer of anatomy matters. The pelvic floor isn’t separate from the rest of the system; it’s the foundation of it.
Over 50 hours of advanced learning covered everything from pelvic floor anatomy and myofascial relationships to electroacupuncture applications, safety protocols, and treatment strategies for conditions like pelvic pain, low back tension, hip dysfunction, incontinence, postpartum recovery, and scar tissue release.
I’m so grateful to Dr. Hampton and the ASE team for their depth, clarity, and commitment to raising the standard of care in our profession. Excited to integrate this knowledge into my work at Mend Health Co., continuing to bridge movement, performance, and whole-body health — from the inside out.

And just like that winter is back on! ❄

We're a bit more excited than Moose is about the new snowfall and we hope you are too.

Just remember to warm up those muscles before heading up the mountain and snow shoveling this week 💪😉

Guess what! We still have some acupuncture and RMT appointments available Wednesday morning and Friday afternoon this week!

Loving the truth in this post! Sara Niblock Training has created an amazing postpartum training series that all you new mama’s have to check out! Also - gotta love a good moon pic 🌝 🌚

Have you ever felt the pressure to quickly return to your pre baby weight after birth?

The fitness industry and many postpartum fitness programs are far to focused on body image and "loosing the baby weight".

Moms then focus on their pant size and how quickly or slowly they are returning to their pre-baby body size.

When in-fact none of that matters, it's harmful to think that way.

When the focus is only on loosing weight post baby you risk injury and affecting your milk supply, your energy levels , your rate of healing and your mental health.

Moms are then told after 6 weeks of "rest" to return to intense exercise. Do you think their bodies are ready to handle this type of exercise? NO

I was told after my c-section that at 6 weeks I would be ready to play hockey. After 6 weeks of not lifting anything??? How backwards is that?

This is just setting moms up for failure and injuries.
Mamas don't have time to nurse injuries.

THE SOLUTION: Education and proper training, where the focus is changed from flat tummies to rehabilitation, function & strength.

The goal of the Complete Postpartum Fitness Program is to focus on just that.

REHABILITATION
FUNCTION
STRENGTH

We want you to become stronger, more confident and capable to not only climb mountains, but reach new peaks.

This 12 week program will educate and empower you to take charge of your body and your postpartum journey.

Next course starts November 2nd & its ready already 70% sold out. Show us some ❤️ Share this post and tag a mama friend
