Chiropractic

Chiropractic care addresses the biomechanics of the body, and aims to restore optimal function of the muscles, joints and nervous system. Chiropractors treat spinal pain, rotator cuff injuries, ankle sprains, headaches and more, using manual mobilizations, soft tissue release, ultrasound and laser therapy.

Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy addresses the musculoskeletal system of the body, with a strong focus on rehabilitation, whether that be from general injuries or pre- and post-surgery. We believe that physiotherapy should be hands-on and customised, and that the patient is just as important as the therapist is; your work, doing stretches, exercises and ergonomic corrections are just as important as the work your...

Physiotherapy addresses the musculoskeletal system of the body, with a strong focus on rehabilitation, whether that be from general injuries or pre- and post-surgery. We believe that physiotherapy should be hands-on and customised, and that the patient is just as important as the therapist is; your work, doing stretches, exercises and ergonomic corrections are just as important as the work your physio does! Our physiotherapist specializes in TMJ (jaw) assessment and treatment, an area we often don't realize needs care and attention like any other part of the body!

Functional Massage Therapy

What is 'functional massage'? Well it was the best we could come up with to describe Gary's treatment. Our resident body wizard knows how to hack into your body's nervous system and the skills to reset it to more optimal functioning. Using Neurokinetic Therapy and Proprioceptive Deep Tendon Reflex work to assess your body, and then the best set of hands in the city to release your specific tens... Read More

What is 'functional massage'? Well it was the best we could come up with to describe Gary's treatment. Our resident body wizard knows how to hack into your body's nervous system and the skills to reset it to more optimal functioning. Using Neurokinetic Therapy and Proprioceptive Deep Tendon Reflex work to assess your body, and then the best set of hands in the city to release your specific tension, you may not know exactly what the heck he is doing but your body will thank you.

Massage Therapy

Who doesn't love a massage? We consider massage therapy to be a 'luxurious necessity'. Unwind while your tension is kneaded away, release your mind and your muscles. Our therapists know how to find that perfect balance between relaxing and therapeutic, between 'aaaaah' and 'ah!'.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) are remarkably effective modalities for a variety of issues. We love TCM for balancing the body, promoting healing in a way that is often different than how we think of western medicine, though you might be surprised that acupuncture and TCM remedies are also very compatible with western science. Highly complex and structured while being extrem... Read More

Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) are remarkably effective modalities for a variety of issues. We love TCM for balancing the body, promoting healing in a way that is often different than how we think of western medicine, though you might be surprised that acupuncture and TCM remedies are also very compatible with western science. Highly complex and structured while being extremely safe and well tolerated, we love acupuncture for those conditions where something is clearly 'off' - digestive issues, insomnia, vertigo, hormonal disruptions etc.
