  • a). Prior to treatment, we will perform an assessment through health history questions and special orthopedic testing (if indicated). This will give our therapists the information to come up with a custom treatment plan that can suit you best to help you back on your path to wellness. By performing an assessment, it will give both you the patient and therapist an objective and subjective evaluation to the overall improvements of your body after the treatment.

    b). During the hands-on treatment, you may experience some therapeutic discomforts. Our practitioners will be sure to check in with you when working in areas of discomfort to make sure we are not hurting you.

    c). Once the treatment is complete, we will ensure that you understand the protocol of your homecare, to provide you with longer and lasting results, while bringing further awareness of your body, and areas of your lifestyle that may need adjustments.

  • You are able to cancel your appointment yourself through our online booking portal as long as it is more than 24 hours before your scheduled treatment time.

    The earlier you are able to cancel your appointment that you cannot attend, will give your practitioner sufficient time to schedule others that require treatment.

    If it is over the 24 hour cancellation period the clinic reserves the right to charge you for the full appointment fee if not given sufficient notice. Thank you for understanding.

  • It's completely normal to possibly feel sore or tender after your appointment. Especially if this is your first therapeutic treatment - your body is just taking its time to get used to the changes that are being made in the areas treated. A warm shower and rest can help speed up the recovery process, and any noticeable tenderness should start to subside in a couple days. The more you come in for regular maintenance the quicker your body will recover!

  • This is optional. You may bring a sports bra and sport shorts if you'd like, but not required.

    Always communicate with your practitioner if you are uncomfortable at any time, this is your dedicated self-care time.
