A key aspect of excellent performance, at work, sport, or leisure is a finely tuned nervous system. Literally every task that you will perform in your day is directly controlled or influenced by how well your central nervous system is firing. This is why coffee tends to be such a lifesaver in the morning. It gets you perked up; it gets your synapses firing. And while coffee is good, there are other ways to ramp up your system in the morning. Did you know that having your spine adjusted can turn your brain on and your productivity up a notch? Adjustments have a direct effect on nerve firing, which stimulates the brain. Getting an adjustment first thing in the morning can have your system firing on all cylinders and help your daily productivity. So come on by and get your before-work adjustment!
We get it: You understand that holistic health care is important for your body, and you want to make it fit into your life. Whether you get massage, chiropractic, or any of our other services, we know that you usually have a limited (or non-existent) benefits plan that only covers part of your treatments for the year. So what to do? Well, the beauty of Whole Therapy is that you can stretch your benefits farther by using multiple treatment types for wellness, not just one! What does that mean? Here’s an example. Chantel has a stressful job. She works at a desk, and has neck pain when she sits too long. Chantel knows she needs treatment every two to three weeks, but can’t afford the time it takes to have an hour massage that often. Her solution? She alternates chiropractic care and massage for her wellness regime. Chantel knows that her chiropractor and massage therapist will make sure she is getting consistent and comprehensive treatment. This method of wellness care allows Chantel to maximize her benefits in two categories, as well as get adequate treatment throughout the year. Another example: Kevin is a busy executive with little time to spare. He has a hard time relaxing, and doesn’t love the idea of getting massages for stress relief. Kevin had never heard of using physiotherapy for wellness before (he thought physiotherapy was all for injuries), but
“Take your time,” I say quietly as I back out of my treatment room and close the door. I head toward the kitchenette to wash my hands, and on my way I observe Bailey and Dr. Damien in lively discussion about neck pain. Bailey sees me and joins me in the kitchen. “So, how was Mrs. Jones?” “Really good, actually,” I reply, “she said it was fine that I talk to you. I was able to release her back and neck during the massage, but I’m a little stumped about her shoulder; I couldn’t find the source of her pain. If you could let me know what you find there, that would be great.” “Ok, sounds good,” says Bailey, “I will let you know.” She heads off toward the physiotherapy area to review her notes on our mutual client. I hear the door to my treatment room open, and out comes my client, a little groggy but smiling after her massage. While I debrief her quietly about her treatment, I hear Tara and Sara in the next treatment room. Tara is showing Sara a new way of massaging the abdominal muscles. More lively discussion from there. I lead Mrs. Jones into the physiotherapy area to see Bailey, and head toward the front desk. Dr. Damien and Pat, our office manager, are putting together a treatment plan for a client. I peek at the schedule and let them be. This is a typical day in our office. The word “multidisciplinary” is common these days, but
