Today wed like to take this time to remind you all TO INVEST IN YOU! Too often, when we ask clients how long theyve been dealing with their injury, theyll sa...y months or even years! It is much harder to treat a chronic injury once muscles have shortened, joints have stiffened, and poor compensating patterns become habits. So come in to get those aches and pains looked at, ask us for those core or postural exercises, book regular massages to prevent injuries. Your HEALTH is your LIFE and it is important to take care of your body! #grangept #yegphysio #yegmassage #investinyourself

As of March 31, 2020 Alberta Health Care will no longer be covering the costs of diagnostic imaging ordered by physical therapists, chiropractors, or audiologis...ts. This is disappointing and frustrating news, as our ability to provide this service saves time for patients and helps free up wait times for doctors. Please help us voice the negative impacts this will cause by contacting our local MLA (Jon Carson - NDP) or the Minister of Health (Tyler Shandro - PC). These cuts will end up increasing costs to healthcare! See more
