At this time we are currently not holding any running clinics

Active Chiropractic Family Health Center offers a variety of running clinics, from beginner to marathon. Since we started offering these clinics in 2007, it is amazing how many people have learned to run for the first time, and have completed 5K, 10K and half marathon goals.

While many people think they could never be runners, it is, like many things, a learned activity. Once you become familiar with the proper technique, your breathing becomes sustainable and your ability to run increases. Whether you have never run before, or you run frequently, being part of the running clinics at Active Chiropractic Family Health Center can help you live an active lifestyle.

There are many different forms of Yoga, and the goal of all recognized forms is to improve health and well being.

Yoga is primarily known for improved balance, strength and flexibility as well as mental peace of mind. In addition, other benefits include:

• Improved joint functioning
• Maintains a supple spine
• Strengthens bones
• Increases circulation
• Increases lymph drainage
• Improved cardiovascular conditioning 

As you participate in yoga you will notice a gradual loosening of the muscles and connective tissues. This leads to improved body alignment, posture and lessening of aches and pains. Each time you do a pose, your joints move through the full range of motion, squeezing areas of cartilage that normally aren't used. Cartilage is like a sponge, it needs to be squeezed in order to soak in fresh nutrients. Without this, areas of cartilage wear out and underlying bone may become exposed.

The discipline that regular practise builds, translates to greater self-esteem, better ability to make decisions, and greater insights into yourself.

Included in your New Member Yoga package:

(8) Weeks of Yoga Sessions 1 (2, or 3) x 1 hour or 45 minutes long classes per week.

 A $50 deposit is required to reserve your spot in the session.

The Yoga classes at Active Chiropractic Family Health Centre are taught by instructors who are RYT-200 Yoga Alliance certified, have received their pre-natal certification, and are working towards their 500 level. Click here to view your trainer's bio.

Now, you can have the benefits of a yoga class, but in a private one-on-one setting. Programs are tailored to meet individual health and wellness goals.

Learn how to put together a program to take home that targets your needs.

Classes can be more restorative in nature, restoring balance and energy flow in the body through gentle and supported poses, or more vigorous in nature, emphasizing strength and flexibility.

Yoga has been found to help people with varying conditions such as: high blood pressure, osteoporosis, arthritis, diabetes, PTSD and chronic stress.

Some benefits of yoga include: lower blood pressure and heart rate, improved digestion, improved circulation and blood flow, increased muscle strength, flexibility and endurance, improved joint mobility, reduced effects of stress and improved sleep quality.

Gentle Hatha

In Gentle Hatha Yoga, we will take the time to disconnect from the daily grind through mindful breathing and movement.  A sequence of slow, basic asanas (yoga postures) and focused breathing will lead us into a peaceful state of being.

Hatha Yoga

Hatha is a very general term that can encompass many of the physical types of yoga. A Hatha style class is slower-paced and gentle and provides a good introduction to the basic yoga poses.

Yoga for Cancer Care

This is a class designed uniquely for people who have been diagnosed with cancer. Wherever you are in your treatment plan, this class will help you increase your quality of life. Participants have the option to stand or lie on the ground during the class or remain seated throughout. Using mindfulness, breathing, physical postures and relaxation, participants will learn tools to help toward health and healing.

Yoga: A Practice of Self Care

The benefits of yoga are legendary; you are invited to experience the truth of this for yourself.

Yin yoga tends to be slow, steady & stationary with a sense of softness; the focus is on the connective tissues in building stability and flexibility.

Yang yoga activity is more mobile and requires effort in building strength & mobility in muscles.

We need a blend of the two for optimal functioning. 

Self Care - that's what it is all about!

Yoga & Meditation

First you will learn how to perform each external pose, then how to hold and to focus on the internal mental aspect of each pose. Patience is part of the experience. The second half of the class will focus on a seated meditation. Yoga is mind and body working in true harmony!

Beginner (Co-Ed)

We will introduce you to yoga step-by-step in a small group class, with explanations of the postures (asanas) and breathing exercises (pranayama), which allows for more personal one-to-one corrections. This is open to anyone who is completely new to yoga or anyone who would like to go back to the basics.

Helping you find your abs again!
You will receive exercises to help your stretched muscles, ligaments and joints return to their proper function and alignment. This is a workout for Moms! It is baby friendly- you are welcome to bring a baby chair and some toys to keep your baby amused while you work up a sweat and get back into shape! It is important that you have had your 6 week check up with your MD and have been cleared to start easy exercise.

Cancer Survivor Exercise Class

This exciting class is aimed at those recently diagnosed with cancer, those currently undergoing treatments, or those who have completed their treatment sessions. Classes will be highly geared to each individual's health and goals for overall satisfaction and improved quality of life and well-being! Regular exercise has been shown to decrease side effects from chemotherapy and radiation including fatigue and anxiety. As well physcial activity improves sleep quality, body composition, self-esteem, quality of life and survival. More than ever before clinicians and oncologists are recommending that their patients exercise- we are here to guide you in the safe and easy implementation of a personalized exercise program! Click here to read more.

45+. Keeping You Fit and Fabulous!

You will receive exercises using weights to help increase your bone density (and ward off osteoporosis), increase muscle mass (which decreases as we age but when built up can speed up our metabolism), increase core stability (which reduces back pain) and some cardio exercises to keep you in the “fat burning zone” all at your own pace. 

Aimed at women or men who are new to exercise/free weights or returning from some time off or injury, who find it a challenge to run/jog more than five minutes due to physical limitation and who have a current baseline level of fitness of 0-2 workouts per week.

Intermediate BootCamp! Fit, Fun and Fabulous!

Aimed at women or men with a current baseline level of fitness of 2-3 workouts per week, who can perform 20 minutes of cardio capacity on elliptical, bike, treadmill etc., and who are familiar with the use of free weights.

Advanced BootCamp! Fit, Fun and Fabulous!

Aimed at women or men with an active lifestyle who are looking for variation and increased intensity in their workout. Get ready to push it!

Brain Health

Long term brain health is priceless! 
Make sure you or your child gets a baseline test done before it’s too late!! It only takes a 30-40 minute appointment and is the most valuable purchase you will make all year.
Long-term brain health… it’s a no brainer!
 

Our clinic is now an official Complete Concussion Management™ clinic.  As concussions have become the focus for both professional and amateur athletes around the world, we at Active Chiropractic wanted to be at the forefront of concussion diagnosis, management, and rehabilitation.  With our collaboration and education through Complete Concussion Management we now offer the very best in research-proven concussion treatments and rehabilitation.

How Can a Baseline Test Help to Keep Your Brain Safe and Healthy?

There is no X-ray or brain scan that can determine when you have received a concussion or when your brain has recovered to the point where you are safe to return to sports. The best tool we have available to ensure that you are safe to sustain another impact is to measure you at baseline (before injury) and then measure you again when we have assessed and determined that you have safely recoverd. This way we can pick up these very subtle deficits that indicate that you may not be fully recovered and are therefore vulnerable to a severe, and potentially permanent, brain injury.

No one can tell you when you have fully recovered…unless they have the data from all of these testing metrics from before you were injured. No one can see the energy levels in your brain that are affected with a  concussion and research tells us you can’t rely on how you feel; you must be tested! On the other hand, perhaps what looked like a questionable impact has had no negative impact and the athlete can be cleared to return to sport, play, practice and school.

Bottom Line:

Make sure you or your child gets a baseline test done before it’s too late!! It only takes a 30-40 minute appointment and is the most valuable purchase you will make all year. Long-term brain health… it’s a no brainer!

Education is Key

We offer a 2 hour course where you will learn a variety of important information regarding concussion management, such as:

• What is a concussion?
• Signs/symptoms of a concussion
• On ice care and emergency situations
• Baseline testing
• Your role as a trainer in an athlete’s Return to Play
• And so much more!
• Click here for a video overview of our program!

Athlete's Safety

The course is an information packed 2 hours with lots of time for any questions you may have. You will also learn more about what it is that we do in terms of testing here at the clinic and why these tests play an important role in your athletes' safety.

Trainers Manual

In this course you will be provided with a trainer manual upon arrival to the clinic. The trainer manual covers everything taught in the class and can be used as a reference later on in case of emergencies. 
 
On course day be sure to bring a writing utensil, a few blank sheets of paper and a clipboard (or possibly a tablet) to write extra notes on. You may wish to dress comfortably and bring a sweater in case the gym is cold as we will be sitting for the majority of the course.

Not Just a Bump On The Head!

We need to get away from simply viewing concussions as a ‘bump on the head’ or ‘getting your bell rung’ or getting a ‘ding’. These are brain injuries and without the proper care and management, they can be quite devastating. Our course is meant to educate those who will be on the front lines when these injuries happen so that you, as trainers and/or coaches, will be better educated to deal with the injury properly and safely.
 

The Biggest Concern

The biggest concern surrounding concussions comes from the energy deficit that occurs in the brain following injury.  When the brain is in this low energy state, it has been well established that the brain is extremely vulnerable to additional trauma, where even smaller impacts can lead to another concussion; and these second concussions can cause severe brain injuries with potentially permanent or fatal outcomes.

The Problem

The problem is that symptoms (meaning how someone feels) do not coincide with brain recovery.  The only way to know when the brain has fully recovered and out of this “vulnerable period” is to compare current brain function to when the individual was healthy; this is what is known as a “baseline test”.

The Battery of Tests

A baseline test is a battery of tests that measures every area of brain function that could potentially become affected following a concussion (you need more than computer tests!!).  The reason that the test is termed a “baseline” is because it is done BEFORE the athlete gets injured.  In order to know when an athlete has fully recovered, we first have to know where they were when they were healthy.  Without having this information, there is no way to truly know when an athlete has fully recovered and is safe to return to their sport.

What is included in my BLT?

• Access to assessment and treatment within 24-48hrs of a concussion at any one of CCMI's 130 certified clinics nation wide.
• a bag tag which identifies you and your baseline results to CCMI certified clinics and trainers for efficient communication, proper injury reporting, and effective injury management between your healthcare providers and team coaches and trainers
• Free App where you can compare your baseline stats to other athletes your age and monitor any rehab progress

Don't forget about annual follow-ups!

Baseline testing is the most important thing to get done prior to the beginning your sports season and updated on a yearly basis. Research recommends follow-ups each year for valid comparisons if an athlete does receive a blow to the head.

Rest - First and Foremost

In the immediate post-injury phase, the only treatment for concussion is rest. A Concussion is essentially an energy deficit inside the brain, complete with imbalances and blood flow abnormalities.

Rest has two very important features when it comes to concussions.

• First, it keeps the individual from putting themselves in harm's way, thereby avoiding a devastating second injury, until they have sufficiently recovered.
• Second, rest allows the individual to get a jump-start on their recovery so that any and all energy that is being produced is allocated to attempting to regain the current deficit.

Secondly

The next stages of rehabilitation from a concussion injury involve a gradual return first to cognitive activity (Learn) and then a gradual increase in physical activity (Play) with each stage separated by a period of at least 24 hours.

The individual must have no symptoms at any one of the stages in order to be progressed to the next stage. If symptoms are encountered, this is indication of not being ready for the complexity of the task, and the athlete should drop back to the previous stage for a 24-hour period before attempting the next stage again.

We monitor these steps very closely to ensure a safe and effective integration back to normal activities and life!

Testing

Here at Active Chiropractic we complete a variety of  post-concussion physical fitness stress tests once the athlete has successfully accomplished the desired stage of rehabilitation. These tests are monitored and administered by trained health professionals to ensure safety is the number one concern and optimal results are obtained. Results from these tests determine whether the athlete is ready to return to play.

More Information

A disruption in neurological functioning following a significant impact to the head or elsewhere on the body resulting in extreme acceleration or deceleration of the brain within the skull.

This causes a biochemical imbalance within brain cells as well as decreased blood flow and temporary energy deficits within the brain.

Following a suspected concussion, a player should be immediately removed from play, assessed and placed on complete rest in order to recover from the energy deficit. Studies have shown that any activity, both mental and physical, in the immediate days following a concussion can delay the process of recovery and should be avoided until the athlete is completely symptom free.

Sport-related concussions are the most common neurological injury
that occurs in all levels of athletic participation. Concussions may actually go un-diagnosed, as they do not always display outward or obvious signs and many athletes are unaware of either the symptoms or the dangers of playing with a concussion. Inappropriate management of a concussion can lead to increased risk of subsequent, more severe and potentially permanent, or even fatal, brain injury.

How are Concussions diagnosed?
Unfortunately, there is no scan, MRI, or X-ray that can detect a concussion. The major problem with concussions is that symptoms, meaning how someone feels, does not coincide with the energy levels in the brain. Most people feel better long before their brain has actually recovered to the point that they are actually safe to return to their sport. This is where the benefits of baseline testing come in as the most important step towards proper concussion management. For more information on baseline testing, please click here.

What do I do if I think I have a Concussion?
Following a concussion injury, the first 24-48 hours are the most crucial, click here to read more.
 

1. DON’T give any medication! This may mask the signs of a worsening condition and may increase the risk of bleeding in the brain.
2. Rest is important for recovery, however DON’T allow the athlete to go to sleep for at least 3 hours after injury – this is to monitor for signs of a worsening condition. The injured person will likely be tired and want to sleep but converse with them to make sure they are speaking coherently, not slurring their words and not repeating the same questions over and over.
3. DO periodically stand them up and have them close their eyes with their feet together to check for signs of balance problems. If they are getting worse, take them to the emergency department for evaluation.
4. For the first night following the injury, DO wake the injured athlete every 2 hours to check for responsiveness.  Make sure that they are easily awoken and that they know where they are.
5. DO make an appointment for a full evaluation within 2-days of the injury. It is preferable that the appointment be made for the very next day. 

Following a concussion injury, the first 24-48 hours are the most crucial, due to the potential for a more serious underlying injury that may require immediate medical attention such as a bleed or swelling in the brain. These are signs of potentially serious or life-threatening conditions and require immediate medical attention at the nearest emergency department:

• Severe or worsening headache
• Very drowsy or can’t be woken up
• Vomiting
• Drug or alcohol intoxication at time of injury
• Deficits in short-term memory (can’t remember things that just happened, repeating the same questions over and over)
• Seizure
• Decreasing level of consciousness or awareness (can’t recognize people or places)
• Fluid or blood coming from ears, nose, mouth, or eyes
• Bruising behind ears, black eyes, very tender points on face
• Inability to remember events 30 minutes before and leading up to the injury or 30 minutes after the injury
• Unsteady on their feet
• Slurring of speech
• Weakness or numbness in the arms or legs
• Dangerous mechanism of injury such as being struck by a motor vehicle, being ejected from a motor vehicle, or a fall from more than 3 feet or 5 stairs

A concussion is a complex process affecting the brain induced by biomechanical forces. These forces that are referred to are acceleration or impulse forces delivered to the brain. It is often thought that there has to be a loss of consciousness but his is Not necessarily true – over 90% of concussions DO NOT result in a loss of consciousness. Concussions cause a temporary dysfunction in the involved nerves, where they don’t work properly for a period of time and the brain cell disturbance causes the brain cells to discharge uncontrollably which may cause any one, or more, of the following signs or symptoms:

There is a high suspicion of a concussion injury:

if someone is experiencing any of the symptoms above following a significant hit or blow to the head or body. The common misconception is that you must be hit in the head to cause a concussion injury – this is not true! Because a concussion is the result acceleration or deceleration of the brain, a concussion can happen with a significant blow to anywhere on the body, provided sufficient acceleration/deceleration is transmitted to the brain tissue. These injuries can actually be quite devastating if they are not managed properly. However, if managed properly, concussions are completely recoverable in most cases.

MRI and CAT scans do not show signs of a concussion,
so a baseline test is used to evaluate the brain. What is a Baseline Test?

Concussion Evaluation and Management

It is important that concussed patients receive a proper neurological evaluation as well as proper management advice as soon as possible following injury, as this has a significant impact on their recovery. Please make an appointment with your nearest Complete Concussion Management™ clinic within 24-48 hours of the injury taking place. To find the nearest CCMI clinic, please click here.

What Is Kinesiology?

Kinesiology is the science of human movement. Kinesiologists apply evidenced-based research to improve function, health and wellness of people. As university trained health professionals, Kinesiologists apply the principles of biomechanics, anatomy, physiology and psychomotor behaviour to improve health, function and performance for people, and encourage preventative activity such as: physical activity, workplace health and safety, injury prevention, injury management, chronic disease and the overall improvement of health.

Prevention

Kinesiologists are leaders in the prevention of injury and chronic disease. Most Canadians would be surprised at the link between proper physical activity and health improvements. For example, physical activity reduces the risk of death from coronary heart disease and it significantly reduces the risk of developing diabetes, hypertension, and colon cancer. Physical activity enhances mental health and improves muscles, bones and joints which combine to maintain function and preserve independent living.

Management

Kinesiologists use exercise in the management of injury and chronic disease. While the best way to manage injury or disease is through prevention, Kinesiologists are more often on the front-lines in restoring client health when injury occurs. 

Performance

Kinesiologists are devoted to improving performance, health, and overall quality of life. Nearly every Canadian can improve their performance, function and well-being across mental and physical parameters, through improved movement and exercise. Kinesiologists work with people of all ages and every level of function and physical ability to assess, track, manage and achieve a broad range of personal health goals.

Kinesiology Services: (All services are overseen by the Doctor of Chiropractic)

Chiropractic Stretches/Exercises

Amanda works alongside Dr. Elizabeth Radley-Walters and is the clinic’s Kinesiologist. Doctors of Chiropractic practice a drug-free, hands-on approach to health care that includes patient examination, diagnosis and treatment. Chiropractors have broad diagnostic skills and are also trained to recommend therapeutic and rehabilitative exercises, as well as to provide nutritional, dietary and lifestyle counseling. Here at Active Chiropractic we want you to get the most out of your experience and overall health care. With dual health care from the Chiropractor and Kinesiologist you will be assured to get just that! Dr. Elizabeth will ensure that you get your full treatment of chiropractic adjustments along with myofascial release and then you may or may not (depending on your current condition) be directed to Amanda to be given corrective stretches and exercises to enhance your recovery and promote proper posture. Rachel will consult with Dr. Elizabeth on the very best and most beneficial course of action for each and every patient in terms of their stretching and/or exercise program. 

Functional Movement Systems (FMS)

This is a screening system that we use here at Active Chiropractic Family Health Center as a means to test patients/clients basic functional movement patterns. This exercise philosophy and corresponding set of resources is based on sound science, years of innovation, and current research. Making this an even more valuable tool, is the fact that FMS allows professionals to assess movement patterns in a “healthy” population, not only individuals with an injury or pathology. A personalized stretching and exercise program will be prescribed to help decrease risk of future injury and promote functional capacity.

Electromyography (EMG)

EMG stands for ‘Electromyography’; and it is a training program that uses your muscle biofeedback to treat muscle dysfunction. You will be able to visually see what your muscles are doing and be able to correct a movement pattern that you may be doing incorrectly which will help with your rehabilitation and improve your movement efficiency. Ensure you do your exercises correctly and reduce your pain through EMG treatments!

Microcurrent & TENS Treatments

Did you know that along with our Electromyography (EMG) treatments, we offer Microcurrent and TENS treatments as well? This is a great addition to our services as it offers you the opportunity to heal faster! If you are currently dealing with an acute injury, muscle cramping/ spasms, or chronic inflammation, then Microcurrent or TENS may work for you! Benefits from using microcurrent or TENS may include:

• Can help speed the healing process
• Reduces swelling and inflammation
• Masks acute and chronic pain       
• Releases muscle trigger points
• Improves soft tissue regeneration
• Gait Assessments

Gait assessments are a great service for active individuals as well as those who are looking to learn more about their current posture, functional movement ability, walking dynamics and how to improve mobility and stability. We look at a wide range of motor programming systems that relate to human gait and analyze them so that you understand what we are talking about! In addition to this, we use advanced computer programming to illustrate various aspects of your foot dimensions dynamically, statically and posturally. Corrective stretches and exercises are also prescribed to help improve movement efficiency!

Custom Orthotics

Along with our gait assessments, we offer custom orthotics! A custom orthotic is a device designed to align the foot and ankle into the most anatomically efficient position. They look like insoles, but are biomechanical medical appliances that are custom made to correct your specific foot imbalance. Custom orthotics will reduce stress and strain on your body by bringing your feet back into proper alignment. Custom orthotics may be covered through your extended health care. Our orthotics are made from a three-dimensional cast of your feet along with advanced computer programming to get a very accurate analysis of your feet dynamics and structure. Please check into your insurance coverage to see if orthotics can be covered for you!

Core Assessments

Core assessments are a great tool to assess abdominal musculature and its biomechanical relationship to the entire kinetic chain, when applied to the prevention of back pain, maintenance of good posture and optimal sports performance. Faulty abdominal training can create postural problems and it's important to learn how to reestablish activation of the abdominal and understand why core coordination and strength tests are essential for both orthopedic patients experiencing such issues as low back pain and competitive athletes. Exercises are prescribed that are suitable for the post-rehabilitation patient all the way to performance enhancing techniques for the amateur and elite athletes. 

Cancer Survivor Exercise Sessions

In the last couple of decades, considerable progress has been made in diagnosing certain cancers earlier and treating many cancers more effectively. During this time physical activity has emerged as an important modifiable health behaviour that also plays a key role in both the prevention and treatment of certain cancers. Maintaining a minimum base level of fitness will help keep you strong during treatments and rebound quicker during recovery periods. Also, because it is safe and easy to implement, more clinicians and oncologists than ever before are recommending that their patients exercise! Here at Active Chiropractic Family Health Centre we offer affordable half hour exercise sessions or 1 hour Cancer Survivor Exercise Classes two times a week!

Knowing how and what to eat in order to maintain good health or being to achieve it are important considerations.

Some food labels can be difficult to decipher - is low fat better than low calories? Is high sodium worse that high carbohydrates? Do you really have to drink eight glasses of water a day? These are questions that lead us into an anxious state about our eating habits, and this is where a Registered Dietician can help.

Nutrition counseling with a registered dietician can assist with these health conditions: diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, osteoporosis, anemia, obesity and eating disorders. Nutritional counseling can also be helpful to people looking for guidance in weight loss or weight gain, wanting to improve energy levels and planning healthy meals and snacks. 

Dietician services are available to children, teens and adults to promote positive food choices and healthy living.

There are more than 5,000 practicing Chiropractors in Canada. Approximately four and a half million Canadians use the services of a chiropractor each year. Chiropractic is a regulated health profession.

Chiropractic spinal manipulation (commonly referred to as a chiropractic adjustment) is a drug-free, non-invasive manual procedure with a primary goal to treat areas of decreased movement in the joints of the body, particularly the spine, which can create a reaction in surrounding tissues (ligaments, muscles and nerves) resulting in pain, dysfunction and muscular spasm. Chiropractors assess disorders related to the spine, nervous system, and joints of the extremities and provide diagnosis, treatment and management of those disorders. Chiropractors are also trained to prescribe therapeutic exercise and other non-invasive therapies including nutritional counseling.

Spinal manipulation, as practiced by trained chiropractors, is a highly controlled procedure, which rarely causes discomfort. The chiropractor adapts the procedure to meet the specific needs of each patient. Patients often note positive changes in their symptoms immediately following treatment.

The vast majority of patients who seek chiropractic care do so for complaints of the musculoskeletal system, most often for conditions affecting the spine. Scientific study of spinal adjustment has clearly demonstrated that chiropractic treatment improves function and is effective for common conditions such as headache, and neck and back pain.

In many cases, such as acute lower back pain, chiropractic care may be the primary method of treatment. Where other medical conditions exist, chiropractic care may complement or support medical treatment by relieving the musculoskeletal aspects of discomfort associated with the condition. Chiropractic care may also be palliative, providing symptomatic relief to patients with chronic conditions.

Active Release Technique (ART)

Active Release Technique is the gold standard in soft tissue treatment. It assists with repetitive strain and sports injuries. It can also assist with treatment of cumulative trauma disorders.

ART is a patented, state of the art soft tissue system/movement based massage technique that treats problems with muscles , tendons , ligaments , fascia and nerves. ART assists with the following common discomforts: headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fascitis, knee problems and tennis elbow. These conditions are often the result of overused muscles.

For more information on ART, please click here for our information sheet.

Lumbar Spinal Stenosis Bootcamp Program

Lumbar Spinal Stenosis is a common condition that is usually caused by a wear and tear type of arthritis of the spine. This can lead to a decrease in the space for the spinal nerves that travel from the spine to the lower back and legs. As the space for the nerves gets smaller, this can lead to increased pressure on these nerves.

We are happy to now offer a 6 week Bootcamp program where the primary focus of the program is improving function especially with regards to your standing and walking ability. The secondary goal will be pain reduction.

Active Chiropractic has been a big part of my life for the better part of four years.  I have been lucky enough to have discovered the pain and pleasure of Dr Elizabeth’s chiropractic work that kept me both working and running. I am certain both of those would not have been possible without her. She has always been so knowledgeable and professional. Dr. Elizabeth is always patient understanding and willing to help you be the best you can be. As I move on to Calgary it’s with a very heavy heart as I know she is going to be so hard to replace. Even though she has helped by providing me with a detailed list of Chiropractors to check out. They have big shoes to fill!

BodySculpt Bootcamp became my time that was always just for me. I chose to do this class three times a week. It starts your day off with a bang and if you end your day with a glass of wine well there is no guilt because you already worked out. The classes are designed to both challenge you and keep you within your own limits. The instructors are all so well trained and are so motivational they will push you to your limits and not beyond. If one us had an injury they are quick to adjust and change any part of their class. No matter who teaches the class they watch your form and technique and correct us so we don’t injure ourselves but if something gets tweaked we had a whole team available to assist us and get us back on course! Along with the physical benefits of being stronger and leaner which came with each class so did friendships. Class dynamics are always changing so with each season so did friendships. People came and went but the regulars were always there and that was a huge part of the fun. Laughing and catching up during the stretches and warm up, challenging each other during the class made every class a blast.
