Active Approach Health & Wellness Centre - Halifax

My doctor wasn't much help ("rest and try not to use it") so I took the advice of a friend and tried Active Approach. Jessica has helped me with my gamer's thumb and shinsplints. I may actually run again, but don't tell her. The staff is wonderful, always with a smile and friendly service. Thank you!
Edit: months later and my gamer’s thumb is still good. If it starts to ache I have exercises that relieve the pain. Very grateful!

Dr Lauren is amazing at what she does, while respecting clients lifestyles

I’m not sure what kind of wizardry Doctor Johnston performed on my back, but I’m here for it. I entered his office with back pain that came on rather suddenly, and I felt relief immediately after the appointment. He’s knowledgeable and quickly made me feel at ease and not rushed. I felt comfortable because he completed a thorough assessment and it’s apparent he’s passionate about his work. The woman at the front desk was also lovely. Looking forward to returning on Monday to see what other tricks he has up his sleeve!

I was struggling with what I thought was a hip injury for several years. At only 45, I worried about needing a hip replacement. The issue was affecting my mobility daily. Important activities like walking, going to the gym and working were not as enjoyable because of the pain.
Dr. Thompson shocked me with an assessment that was so thorough. It wasn’t a hip issue. It was muscular. I learned that this is quite common. No waiting for an X-ray or other tests.

I’m only a few weeks with treatments and my “homework “ of ice packs and stretching, I’m feeling fantastic. I have a little way to go but I’m back to the gym and the pain is completely gone.

I've been coming to this clinic for massage and chiropractic treatments since c. 2010, and I am here every 6 weeks for maintenance purposes. The front desk staff are fantastic, the service providers I see are fantastic, and I always leave the clinic better than when I arrived. I think the owners/managers do a fantastic job with staffing as the team members have changed but the service has stayed great with every new team member. Highly recommend Active Approach clinic, especially Alex for massage and Lauren for chiropractic treatments!

Alexandra MacPhee is the best massage therapist. I have been going for a couple of years and I always leave feeling better.
