We spoke online with Maciek Krolikowski to talk about the difference between kinesiology and physiotherapy, connecting with patients, and the move from the prairies to the west coast.

We sat down for virtual coffee with one of our newest physiotherapists, Lena Walther. She told us about pelvic floor health, imposter syndrome, and dreaming about post-pandemic travels.
What a beautiful day on the island to celebrate movement, activity, and International Women’s Day.

We wish you a warm, joyous, and restful holiday (and maybe some movement too!)
It’s year two of committing to growing the moustache to raise funds for men’s health initiatives, specifically technologies for screening and treatment of prostate and testicular cancer, mental health, and suicide prevention!
In a moment our bodies can go from being familiar, comfortable vessels to being a source of grief and struggle. Colin Wade was in a car accident on his way to work. A dad and a musician he’s been on a journey to get back to the things he loves ever since.
It’s been 1 year since we’ve opened our doors on Oak Bay Avenue! We are so excited for what the future holds and believe that the best is yet to come.
