Integrity Health and Sport care

I still use this one.

What does one do after one of my treatments? Let me tell you:

Generally, I keep things simple. (Especially since most people don’t do their homework anyway.😏)

Hydration and a stroll are the two most common self-care recommendations.

During ART there are adhesions that are broken apart. That means the fibres are floating around in the body looking for a new place to attach themselves.

The combination of water and stroll (NOT a power-walk), moves the fibres into the lymph system and pumps them into the waste disposal system. The result for the patient is less tenderness the next day, and less chance of needing to redo previous work.

Occasionally I will recommend specific stretches. Not very often because that’s not my forte.

As we progress, I may recommend slow motions to retrain the muscles, nerves, etc for proper, balanced movement.

Let me know if there are any questions.

It may be time to make a new cover photo.

I've been a Registered Massage Therapist for 28 years now. I've been a Full-body Certified Active Release Techniques Provider for 21 years. I still learn every day.

With all that practice, I've noticed tendencies that I've come to call:

Roger's Rules for Soft Tissue Management

1. No muscle acts alone.
2. There is almost NOTHING that can be done to soft tissue that cannot be undone.
3. The location causing pain is seldom the location feeling the pain.
4. We go very quickly but slowly.
5. When we minimize pain, we maximize gain.

I've narrowed it down to only 5, but I reserve the right to change my mind at any time and for no reason. (Meaning these rules may change.)

If you'd like to know more, may I suggest calling the Sherwood Chiropractic Centre and making an appointment?

It's now been almost 3 years since I moved my practice to Sherwood Chiropractic Centre. I've been a bit preoccupied by life to keep this page up to date.

It's time to change that.

I'll be posting more here as time goes by.

It's time to enjoy the ride!

Just a reminder...I restart work on Monday, 15 June. I will be at Sherwood Chiropractic Centre, #30, 100 Palisades Way, Sherwood Park. Call them at 780-467-8755 to schedule an appointment. And, as always...thank you for your part in my work.

Well crap! I guess I’m done. My life philosophy has been that “if it’s not a hell yes, then it’s a no”. This “pandemic” is so complex that I don’t have a clear decision on what’s the right thing, so I guess it’s time to shut the door. Sorry guys. Contact me if you really, really need help.

Edit: This is temporary, but remember that I am moving to Sherwood Park Chiropractic Centre effective 6 April 2020, or as soon as they re-open.

I will be contacting patients who are booked after April Fool's Day to make sure we transfer their appointment to the new clinic.

Well...After a few months of people staying away in droves, I decided to make a change. As of 7 April, I will be working out of Sherwood Chiropractic Centre at 100 Palisades Way #30, Sherwood Park, AB. They will be handling all my bookings, billing, etc, so all I need focus on will be the actual work. 🙂 My hours will be changing as well. They should be set up to take booking by Friday, the 13th (shudder). Call them at 780-467-8755 to schedule an appointment.

For the hundreds of you who have been trying to book for the week after Remembrance Day with no luck, this is Shopping Season, so I'll be out in the bush for the week. Feel free to pack my schedule for next week.
