The nervous system is a complex system. Pain travels along the nerve pathways and can refer pain to different areas of the body. The pain may be felt in the lower leg, but the source of pain is in the back. The pain may be felt in the forearm/fingers, but the source of the pain is in the neck or shoulder.

Do you pee when you laugh? Maybe you gave birth a few years ago or are naturally aging and have been told "pfffff, it's normal". ITS NOT.

Your pelvic floor is made up of muscles, tissue and ligaments just like other... more

You have benefits and you've never used them??? THATS MADNESS!! But, you're checking out our page, seeing what a great (and fun) health and wellness team we are, and now we've got you thinking... 🤔 "I should probably investigate my benefits to find out if they cover massage/physio. While I'm on the phone/in the app, I'll check and see how much coverage I get per visit/per year. Ya, you know what? Lets book my appointment!" Now you're talkin'!... more
