We are excited to announce that we have a newly renovated space and are inviting the community to come and see the changes as well as celebrate National physiotherapy month with us this May. To kick off the month we are having an Open House at the clinic Wednesday May 8th from 6-8 pm. Then throughout the month every week we are running informational seminars open to the community.
During the Open House our physiotherapists (Amanda McLean, Barb Webb, Mandy Connell and Lisa Baldwinson) and massage therapist (Angela Asselin) will be on hand to discuss the benefits treatment and the many conditions they work with and the tools they use. Of particular interest might be the use of acupuncture to treat some very common injuries people experience like neck/back pain, elbow and shoulder tendonitis to name a few; how we work very closely with dentists to treat TMJ (jaw) pain; how we can work on PREVENTION of many conditions etc.
Refreshments will be served so rsvp would be appreciated by tuesday May 9th, but all are welcome! You can rsvp by responding to this email (info@rhphysio.ca) or calling the office at 204-987-9222. We hope to see you all there and feel free to bring your family and friends along!
