A fresh new year. As part of gratitude in our practice, we bring into awareness of what DID go well in 2020. Even while some things didn’t go as planned, there were A LOT of amazing things (and people) that happened at ABHC in 2020. We are talking a lot! As we start a fresh page for 2021, we want to extend a huge thank you for being a part of our clinic. Our patients, our staff, our families, our shared-space co-workers and our friends are the reasons our days are bright with positivity, making then end of 2020 and the beginning of 2021 a pretty exciting place to be. #happynewyear2021 #19elmastreet #activebalancehealthcentre #greatplacetobelong #drsarahwuest #finishlinephysio #nualaobrienkellyrmt #cheryltenszenrmt

Lymphatic drainage is a gentle hands on manual treatment that stimulates the movement of lymph fluid. It can help with pre/post surgery swelling, lymphedema, lipedema, chronic swelling and pre/postnatal. Our Certified Lymphedema Therapist (CLT) Cheryl Tenszen is available for treatments as long as you have a written referral from your regulated health provider or a prescription from your physician. There are appointments available December 30! Book online or email [email protected] for assistance.

Message from Dr. Sarah Oh 2020, you have been quite a ride. A huge thank you to all our patients who have navigated this wild year with us.

All of December’s snowfall came overnight! Physiotherapist, Leona Ham was eagle-eyeing our shoveling form! A huge thank you to Nuala and Leona’s families who came along to help dig us (and both our side neighbours) out from the big dump. If you have an appointment today, please park in the back. For some reason, the alley is more clear than Elma Street.

Not related to @activebalancehealth but we still feel is super important and relative to holiday cheer...SANTA IS STILL COMING TO OKOTOKS! We gathered this information from a reliable source - Town of Okotoks website: Despite restrictions in place across the province, Santa Claus is still making time to stop by Okotoks ahead of his Christmas Eve run this year. As usual, Santa will fly into town and leave his reindeer at the fire hall to rest while he takes to the Town’s 195...6 parade fire truck, which will be decked out in lights with music blaring, and Okotoks emergency services personnel will escort him through town with sirens wailing and lights flashing to draw attention of residents. The parade will venture through residential roads south of the Sheep River on Dec. 23 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. and then travel through neighbourhoods north of the Sheep on Dec. 24 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Routes will not be published and the Santa Tracker will not be live this year to ensure spontaneous outdoor gatherings do not occur. #okotokssantaparade #alittlebitofnormal #activebalancehealthcentre #santaiscomingtotown See more
