It allows the individual to identify and understand their movement patterns, improve coordination, reduce patterns of excess tension, free restrictions in breathing and vocalization, and develop deeper kinesthetic awareness.

Naturopathic medicine is the treatment and prevention of disease by natural means, using evidence-based nutritional symptomology, ancestral and traditional medicine practices, botanical medicine, acupuncture, and functional therapies.

A number of different approaches may be used throughout the course of treatment, including standard lab work and biomarker evaluation, clinical nutrition, supplementation, eastern medicine practices, acupuncture, hydrotherapy, lifestyle coaching, prevention strategies, interdisciplinary advocacy, and contemporary physical medicine.

Osteopathic Manual Practitioners are functional anatomists who use manual therapy and gentle manipulations to restore proper body mechanics, nerve impulses and the circulation of cardiovascular, digestive, lymphatic and spinal cord fluids. Classical osteopathy considers both soft tissue (fascia, muscles, tendons) and hard tissues (bones, ligaments), as well as the circulatory and lymphatic systems and viscera.

Physiotherapists have mastered the mechanics of movement under the Sports Medicine model of care -- they focus on both prevention and rehabilitation of injury, using functional rehabilitation to improve alignment, stability, mobility, and strength. Physiotherapists remedy dysfunctional patterns of movement and posture that affect the body's ability to withstand resistance. Physiotherapy is a great option for chronic pain, repetitive strain, sports injuries, accident rehabilitation, healthy aging, fall and injury prevention, and improving athletic performance.
Psychotherapy (RSW)
Psychotherapy is a constructive and proactive approach to dealing with life changes and challenges through conversation, reflection, and psychological methods. A trained psychotherapy provider can support patients with emotional distress (such as anxiety, depression, dysphoria, or grief); support clients through conflict and transitions in their personal or professional life; and help address any negative moods or unhealthy and unhelpful behaviours. Psychotherapists help clients refocus their energy and attention on habits or actions that positively impact their self-confidence and personal identity, and help to improve their professional performance, relationships, and life satisfaction.

Registered Massage Therapists practice therapeutic Swedish massage, which is based on Western concepts of anatomy and physiology and follows principles similar to Sports Medicine practices. Treatment combines kneading, stretching, pressure, and percussion of the muscles with active and passive movement of the joints to relieve tension, restore balance and posture, and facilitate recovery from acute soft-tissue injuries and chronic or repetitive muscle strain.
