Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy: Have confidence that your mobility is in good hands.

"As primary health care professionals, physiotherapists combine in-depth knowledge of how the body works with specialized hands-on clinical skills to assess, diagnose and treat symptoms of illness, injury or disability. With your independence in mind, a physiotherapist’s goal is to restore, maintain and maximize your strength, function, movement and overall well-being. Physiotherapists prescribe personalized therapeutic exercises, and provide essential education about the body, what keeps it from moving well, how to restore mobility and independence, and how to avoid or prevent bodily harm."
(from the Canadian Physiotherapy Association)

Yoga Therapeutics Classes

Dr. Brent MacNeil , B.A., D.C. believes in the importance of an active lifestyle to optimize health. He not only encourages his clients to attend yoga but includes a complementary class with your first chiropractic visit.

At Therapeutic Approach Yoga Studio (TAYS) we believe in healthy exercise that can be maintained daily and offer long term health benefits. The owners, Mike Munro and Maxine Munro have backgrounds in Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy and support their teachers in teaching yoga in the most optimal way for their students, by assisting in determining specific poses, modifications and progressions to suit each individual's needs.

If you have back pain, arthritis, osteoporosis, scoliosis, etc. then finding the right style and level of yoga can be a solution. Yoga will help you stay fit, improve your posture, improve your circulation, and can improve your overall quality of life. Dr. MacNeil will let you know when it is safe to begin your yoga classes and can give your yoga teacher guidelines to help you enter yoga safely and will enable you to find yoga as a lifestyle practice to regain or maintain your health.

Leanne Whiting, one of the senior teachers through TAYS, has trained in Yoga Therapy through the Anusara Method. Leanne will be teaching a Beginner Yoga Therapeutic class that is open to patients of Dr. MacNeil, along with individuals seeking therapeutic support and alignment through a yoga practice. This class is on Wednesday evenings at 7:00pm.

* Your first yoga class is paid for by your chiropractor: Dr. Brent MacNeil
