After some time off, Andre is back in the office! Andre offers Acupressure and Facial Rejuvenation. He uses a combination of bioflex cold laser and electro plasma to help tighten and tone the skin for a younger look, while also relieving aches and pain. Each treatment also includes a magnetic acupressure session to balance the body inside and out. Under the majority of insurance plans, most of this treatment is covered! Andre is available from 12-6pm Mondays and Tuesdays, call us to book.

A huge shoutout to Jas who has officially been with us for two years! Thank you Jas for being so awesome and juggling whatever is thrown your way. You make all of our days brighter!

Massage for us is more than relaxation, it’s about taking care of the places in our bodies that hold the most stress and tension and giving them some much needed attention. For those with chronic pain, massages are essential in finding ease for the body and the mind. Who couldn’t use a little extra stress relief these days?

For 2021 I decided to focus on the theme of self-care. Many people think of seeking help when their body is in pain or not functioning properly, however, at this point we are playing catch up. Recovery time will be needed along with drastic changes to support the body's own healing. What if you could get to know the signs of your body and what it is saying before the disease presented itself? This is how Naturopathic Medicine is different. I focus not only on short but long-...term prevention. Naturopaths are always considering chronic imbalances, root causes, and emotional blocks of the case. I have a variety of tools from acupuncture and hormone testing, to herbs and IVs. All have a specific way of healing that is unique. In this way, we cater to the individual person and what they need. - @dr.renasaini_nd Reach out to work with Dr. Rena this year!

After a chiropractic adjustment it’s normal to feel a little tired or sluggish, but hydration will help you integrate the adjustment. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate and in no time you’ll be feeling all the energy boosting benefits of chiro.

Happy New Year from our crew to yours! As always, thank you for supporting us this past year as we adapted and worked to better assist your well-being and performance. Here's hoping the year ahead is filled with happiness, brighter days, and optimal health.

We love this reminder to slow down from @stephskophysio! Remember to get your Yin on (restful activities!). Balance that Yang energy (strength training/stimulation) with meditation, breathwork, stretching, walks, etc., over your time off work. It’s a great time of year to do so!

And may your days be merry and bright. Wishing you and yours Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas from the Active Care family! We hope you spend some extra time outdoors in our beautiful backyard and enjoy the quality time with loved ones!

We have steam cleaned our carpets and gave our office a thorough pre-winter clean over over the weekend. As such we will again be implementing our outdoor-shoe-less access policy throughout the office. You are welcome to bring indoor footwear like shoes, slippers or extra socks , or you can just remove your shoes/boots and go. We do have disposable foot covers that you are welcome to use if you wish. Thank you for understanding!

We share your passion for living an active lifestyle and our team is dedicated to helping you move towards optimal health and sustainable wellness. Our mission is to help you heal better, faster, so you can get back to doing the things you love.

#ACHTipTuesday- Just like your hair, your skin needs to be brushed too! Get a natural bristle brush and detox your body by brushing your skin. You’ll exfoliate dead skin, and help remove toxins from the body. Make it a part of your daily routine before jumping in the shower.

Next month make an effort to break one bad habit you may have developed in regards to bad posture. For example, some people tend to spend a lot of time looking down at cell phones. This is very detrimental to the lower neck and upper back as it increases the pressure and stress that is placed on the spine. One way of correcting this is to simply lift your phone up to eye level. This will also challenge your arm and shoulder muscles, so it's a win-win! #achtip #liveactive #bewell
