With one of our superstar personal trainers, Lauren Whether you’re dealing with a recent injury or something that happened years ago, returning to exercise can feel a little daunting. You may be wondering what movements are safe, whether you should push through discomfort, or if you should simply wait until you feel completely “back to normal” before exercising again. The reality is that returning to movement after an injury is rarely as simple as picking up exactly where yo

With our incredible Registered Massage Therapist, Esther Ever feel puffy, swollen, heavy, or just a little "stuck" — after surgery, during pregnancy, or on a day you barely moved? You've probably heard lymphatic drainage massage can help. But what does that actually mean? Your lymphatic system is working in the background all day, every day, whether you notice it or not. It moves excess fluid through your tissues, backs up your immune system, and eventually returns that fluid

With Dr. Domenique, our fabulous Naturopath (and doula!) Note on terminology: In this article, the terms male and female are used to refer to reproductive anatomy relevant to fertility. Male refers to individuals with sperm-producing reproductive anatomy, and female refers to individuals with ovaries and a uterus. Acupuncture has long been used as a complementary therapy to support overall health and wellbeing, and fertility is one area where it may have an important role.

With our incredible Naturopath (and doula!), Dr. Domenique Pregnancy is an exciting time, but the symptoms that accompany it can sometimes make those early months challenging. Nausea is one of the most common complaints during pregnancy, and while it is often referred to as “morning sickness,” it can occur at any time of day - or persist throughout the day. For some individuals, nausea is mild and manageable. For others, it can significantly affect appetite, hydration, energy

With our incredible pelvic physiotherapist, Agnes Budyn Preparing for birth involves much more than packing your hospital bag and choosing a birth plan. Your body is preparing for one of the biggest physical events it will ever experience — and pelvic health physiotherapy can be an important part of that preparation. Whether you are planning a vaginal birth, a C-section, or simply want to feel more confident and prepared for whatever your birth experience brings, a prenatal p

With our wonderful acupuncturist, Andrea Goldberger If you are in the last few weeks of pregnancy and you have typed "induction acupuncture" into a search bar, I have a good guess about where you are. Either your due date has arrived, and nothing is happening, or it is coming fast, and you would like to feel more prepared than you do. Possibly there is a date on the calendar for a medical induction, and you are wondering what you can do in the meantime. I have been practising

With Dr. Mallory, one of our incredible postpartum Chiropractors Pregnancy brings a lot of changes to your body, and while some aches and pains can be expected, pain that makes it difficult to walk, roll over in bed, climb stairs, or get through your normal day deserves attention. One common cause of pelvic pain during pregnancy is symphysis pubis dysfunction (SPD), which is often included under the broader term pelvic girdle pain (PGP). For some people, it feels like a mild

With our incredible Osteopath and Registered Acupuncturist, Andrea Goldberger You have probably stopped mentioning it to anyone. The headache that arrives every afternoon around four. The jaw that is already clenched when you wake up. Shoulders that will not come down, no matter how many times you tell them to relax. Nobody has asked in years, and somewhere along the way, it stopped being a problem and became how your body feels. It does not have to stay that way. I know that

With Dr. Sophie, one of our fabulous postpartum chiropractors Pregnancy is an incredible process, but it also asks a lot of the body. Over the course of nine months, your body adapts to accommodate a growing baby, changing your centre of gravity, movement patterns, muscle demands, and the way you carry yourself. Then comes labour, delivery, and the early postpartum period—followed by a completely new routine of feeding, carrying, lifting, rocking, and caring for a baby. So if

With the amazing Dr. Mallory Samuels You’ve got the baby. You’ve got the diaper bag. You’ve got approximately 47 things to carry, somehow only two free hands, and a coffee you reheated three times. And now your wrist hurts. If you’re experiencing pain along the thumb side of your wrist after having a baby, you may be dealing with what’s commonly called “Mommy Thumb” or “Mom Wrist.” Its medical name is De Quervain’s tenosynovitis, and it’s incredibly common during the postpart

Understanding the Importance of Hydration When people come to see me for pelvic floor physiotherapy, they're often surprised when I ask about one simple habit: How much water do you drink each day? Many individuals intentionally drink less water because they worry about urinary urgency or frequent bathroom trips. While this may seem like a good strategy, it can actually worsen bladder symptoms. The Effects of Dehydration When you're dehydrated, your urine becomes more concent

In January, I underwent a total hysterectomy and double prolapse repair. Why? Pneumonia. Seriously. This experience of having to slow down completely taught me a lot. I wrote down my thoughts and decided to share them because they might resonate with someone else, too. 12 Things Healing Taught Me Healing takes way more energy than most people realize. Midday workouts are a luxury. Being alone in a quiet house during the day can feel like a full nervous system exhale. Ten year

With our superstar Chiropractor, Dr. Mallory Scars tell a story - of healing, resilience, and recovery. But for many people, scars can also come with lingering discomfort, tightness, or even pain that affects how the body moves and feels. At Frame, we offer a gentle and effective approach to scar therapy using the Dolphin Neurostim - a non-invasive tool designed to support healing and restore comfort. Why Do Scars Cause Problems? While scars are a natural part of the healing

with our incredible personal trainer, Denise I have yet to encounter a client who has not gained immense benefit, despite their experience or goals, from learning how to breathe and brace properly. Whether you’re postpartum, dealing with back pain, looking to improve your lifting technique, or to improve your posture, alignment, physical confidence, and presence, gaining a deep understanding and facility with your breath and core engagement is the key to flow and power in you

With our superstar Pelvic Physio, Agnes Budyn Pain during intercourse is far more common than many people realize — yet it’s rarely talked about. For those experiencing pelvic pain with penetration, intimacy can feel stressful, frustrating, or even something to avoid altogether. This can affect not only physical comfort, but emotional connection, self-esteem, and relationships. The important thing to know is that painful intercourse is not “normal,” and help is available. Wha

With Dr. Kate, our superstar Naturopathic Doctor A new year is the perfect opportunity to reset, refocus, and support your body with simple, sustainable habits. Rather than doing everything at once, small intentional changes can have a powerful impact on your health, energy, and longevity. Here are five foundational habits to prioritize as you move into the year ahead: 1. Support Your Microbiome with a Daily Probiotic Your gut microbiome plays a central role in digestion, imm

With our superstar chiropractor, Dr. Sophie Smith Pregnancy is an incredible journey—one filled with joy, anticipation, and wonder. But let’s be honest—it also brings some major physical changes that your body may not be used to. As your body works hard to grow a new life, it’s common to experience a variety of discomforts such as back pain, headaches, pelvic pressure, and even sleep disturbances. Every pregnancy is unique, just like every body is different. That’s why it’s i

With our strong-a** strength trainer, Denise I only started strength training because I wanted a nicer butt. I was thirty-seven, and for years had sworn I would never set foot in a gym. I thought it was for a bunch of brutes randomly heaving things up and down over and over again while grunting. Of course, in any public gym you will encounter some of that, I’m afraid, but little did I know that learning how to strength train properly actually involved an immense amount of tec

with our favorite Physiotherapist, Agnes Budyn If you’ve been diagnosed with pelvic organ prolapse—or suspect you might have it—you’re not alone. This condition affects many people, especially women after childbirth or during and after menopause. But it can also be common with heavy weight lifting or physically demanding jobs. While the word prolapse can sound a bit scary, the good news is that help is available. One effective and non-invasive treatment option is pelvic floor

with our fabulous Pilates Instructor, Vina In today’s culture, there’s a lot of pressure to “snap back” or “bounce back” into shape after having a baby. Celebrities and influencers can make it look simple with polished workout videos in fully equipped gyms. It’s tempting to sign up to bootcamp or HIIT classes just weeks post-partum. The reality is your body has been through a major event and jumping straight into burpees and crunches might do more harm than good. Why Pilates
