Acupuncture is a traditional form of Chinese Medicine and consists of the painless insertion of very small filiform needles into specific points on the body. These specific points are called acupoints. Acupoints are the sites through which Qi of the internal organs and meridians are transported to the body surface. Insertion of needles at defined acupoints have two effects: 1. Nerve Stimulation – transmit electrical impulses which stimulate the proper regulation of the tissues in question. 2. Release of chemical substances – from the brain centers and pituitary gland such as serotonin, endorphins, and others which are released into the bloodstream and are the body’s own mechanism for pain relief. These two effects will produce a pain-relieving result, immune enhancing effect, anti-inflammatory/anti – allergic effect and regulate the nervous system.

Qi (pronounced chee) is known as a flow of energy or life force within the body. Acupuncture stimulation evokes the sensation of De–Qi, an experience comprising of unique sensations. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine patients often describe De-Qi as aching or soreness, numbness or tingling, fullness, pressure, heaviness or an electrical sensation. Another thing about De-Qi is that it often radiates from where it starts, moving along pathways in the body called Meridians or Channels.

Yin and Yang mean two fundamental principles or forces in the universe, ever opposing and supplementing each other. Yin and Yang are always in a state of dynamic balance. They balance each other out, hence a relative equilibrium in the body is maintained and health is guaranteed. When one is deficient or in excess an imbalance occurs with symptoms following soon after. Yin and Yang in the human body – where Yin presents as female, in the interior of the body, on the chest/abdomen, blood, nourishing (Qi). And Yang presents as male, on the surface of the body, on the spine/back, energy (Qi), protecting (Qi).

Acupuncture doesn’t have to be painful to be effective. De-Qi sensations like dullness or heaviness are actually positive signs that the treatment is working. Since the needles used are very thin and gently inserted, you may not feel them going in. You might feel a mild ache, tingling or electric sensation which indicates that the acupoint is being activated and arrival of De-Qi has been reached. If you do feel severe or sharp pain, it’s important to tell your acupuncturist. Most discomfort during acupuncture is brief and only lasts a few seconds.

Sensitivity – some people are more sensitive to needle sensations than others. Location – certain areas of the body may be more sensitive or have more nerve endings. Technique – the skill/technique of the acupuncturist can affect how comfortable the treatment feels. State of mind – Anxiety or tension can heighten perception of pain or discomfort. Individual differences – each patient’s pain threshold and response to acupuncture can vary.

Acupuncture needles are sterile and are disposed after each use. The skin is cleaned using 70% rubbing alcohol prior to insertion.

The first visit consists of an initial assessment where you will be required to fill out patient information. Kristin will ask you a series of questions regarding the reason for your visit, past medical history, as well as your physical, mental, and emotional health. This appointment will be 1 – 1 ½ hrs. She will ask to look at your tongue and take your pulse on both wrists. The tongue is looked at because a number of meridians run through your tongue, and it is often a good indicator of your health and organs. Once Kristin has determined your diagnosis, she will insert the needles into the appropriate acupoints and let you rest for 20 minutes. Once the needles have been removed and Kristin has ensured that you are feeling good after the treatment, you are free to go. Subsequent visits with no new issues will usually last ½ - 1 hr.

Treatments can range from 15 - 90 mins depending on appointment type and complexity. *Some need less and some need more, depending on condition complexity. There is no difference in cost if treatment takes less time than booked time on schedule.

Most clients find the treatments relatively painless. There may be some discomfort or sensitivity over scarred tissues or around bony processes during the treatment. This pain is usually only present for a few seconds and goes away the moment the treatment stops. Some clients do experience minor discomfort in the days following treatment. This is normal and often subsides within a week. It is also common to feel off balance or discomfort in new areas in the days following care. This is the result of imbalances being corrected and the feeling will improve as the kinetic chain rebalances and the treatment protocol is completed.

Each client is different; however, the average number of treatments required is 3-4, the first 3 spanning approximately 3-weeks spaced between 4-14 days apart. 1 week between each treatment is the default length we aim for. The treatment protocol is followed with a 4-6 week healing period. A 4th follow-up treatment may be required if the condition persists at a high level beyond 6 weeks.

Full Regenerative Wave Treatments: Are sold as a package of 3 appointments for $1499.99 Major Joint Repair Treatments : Are sold as a package of 3 appointments for $749.99 Minor Joint Repair Treatments: Are sold as a package of 3 appointments for $359.99 Massage-Wave appointments: Are sold individually to handle minor issues, or follow ups that include more manual muscle testing and treatment. While still allowing some minor regenerative wave to be used as needed. $164.99 per appointment. Consultation: $59.99 per appointment. Grouped appointments can be broken up individually only after the initial 3 to make sure the treatment has it best chances of being successful for you. As results can be slower for some, this helps us make sure you don't abandon the treatment at a critical moment. Often costing more in the long run, once it is realized that the treatment was working but needed time and patience after treatment. Most issues do not require anything more than the initial 3 appointments for success, while extreme or maintenance type conditions may require follow ups. Please be sure that you have the time available to visit 4 - 14 days between appointments for the initial 3 appointments to maximize results. 1 week apart is our ideal default.

Extended health benefits plans may consider all or a portion of your shockwave therapy treatment when performed by a Registered Massage Therapist.

Shockwave therapy is an effective, non-invasive healing option for most tissues including bone, muscle, tendon and skin. Shockwaves are mechanical sound waves that breakdown scar tissue and stimulate new blood vessel growth; driving endogenous stem cell activation in the treatment area and accelerating healing. Not all waves are created equal.. There are multiple forms of shockwave therapy used in medicine today. Radial shockwave is common in many clinics and sounds much like a small jackhammer. Interestingly, it is not a shockwave at all; it is a pressure wave. Highly effective in its own right, radial pressure wave therapy treats more superficial tissues, having a different wave shape and physical properties than true shockwaves. Extracorporeal shockwave devices are somewhat rare in Canadian clinics. The way the wave is generated allows it to travel much deeper into the tissue with less energy loss and more accuracy. An extracorporeal shockwave treatment will make less sound but will have a much greater impact at the cellular level.

Common Treatable Conditions: • Achilles Tendinopathy • Back & Neck Pain, incl. whiplash injuries • Bone Fractures, incl. non-union • Bunions & Calluses • Burns & Abrasions • Frozen/Stiff Shoulder • Golfer’s/Tennis Elbow • Hallux Rigidus • Hip Joint Pain • Rotator Cuff Calcification and/or Tendinitis • Non-healing Ulcers incl. diabetic wounds • Chronic Headache • Iliotibial (IT) Band Syndrome • Jumper’s Knee • Muscular Scar Tissue • Morton’s Neuroma • Plantar Fasciitis • Shin Splints • Surgical Preparation/Recovery • TMJ Dysfunction • Trigger Points • Bursitis • Carpal Tunnel Differentiated Treatments: • Erectile Dysfunction • Peyronie’s Disease • Pre/Post Joint Replacement Surgery • Pre/Post C-Section Surgery • Incontinence • Internal/External Scars Treatable Associated Conditions: Arthritis Diabetes Scoliosis Spasticity Fibromyalgia Herniated or Slipped Discs Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

Reduces pain Restores range of motion Creates new blood flow Removes scar tissue Activates endogenous stem cells Can help reduce/eliminate medication Non-invasive alternative to surgery No side effects

No, shockwave is not ultrasound. They are both sound waves; however, acoustic waves come in many different patterns and wavelengths. Shockwaves and ultrasound waves possess entirely different physical properties and effects on humans. Shockwaves have a lower frequency with a higher energy density – leaving less chance for damage to healthy tissues and more depth and precision during treatment. Think of it this way: A person nicely playing the guitar and the use of a kitchen mixer are both sound waves, yet they’re totally different and affect you differently. You want to listen to the guitar player, but you want to stop the noise from the mixer because it’s annoying. Different sound waves, different effects: The same logic applies to shockwave and ultrasound.

Clients who are pregnant and those with blood clots (Deep Vein Thrombosis/DVT).

Yes but we always recommend a 4 - 6 week wait before coming in. Your Regenerative Wave treatment will be more effective as a result.

You don’t. However, Regenerative Wave has had an incredibly high level success with all kinds of conditions, even the rare ones that seem untreatable. Our advice would be to book a consultation appointment where your therapist will assess you and discuss the possible treatment options together with you. If we feel Regenerative Wave would not be beneficial, we won’t waste your time and money trying. As well, we would love to guarantee successful treatment for everyone, however the world and human body are infinitely complex. So we must note, that even if a condition appears treatable to our therapists, there will always be a small percentage of the population that may not see desired results, due to unknown factors or physical uniqueness of the individual. We love what we do and want to heal everyone we can, but if we said there was absolutely zero risk of failure, I doubt you would believe us!

Absolutely! The treatment may be a bit more sensitive around those areas – but this is not always the case.

Absolutely! It will not affect the pacemaker or quality of treatment.

Not at all! Regenerative Wave has been used for years as a pre AND post joint replacement protocol. Many clients can avoid the replacement altogether, depending on the state of the joint and how soon they see us. Even those who still must pursue a joint replacement after Regenerative Wave find their recovery time and risk of infection to be much lower due to the added circulation and reduced scar tissue.

We treat by condition, not by body part. Any area our clinicians believe could be impacting the condition will be addressed, as long as the tissues can tolerate the number of shocks. We do not treat unrelated conditions in the same treatment session.

No, if your first visit is a consultation, however if it has been decided for you to be moved directly into treatment when booking the appointment (usually over the phone), then please be prepared for treatment.

We’re human – sometimes the unexpected happens. On an ordinary day, clients rarely wait more than 5 minutes for their appointment. On a day busy with emergencies and complex cases, we have been up to 30 minutes behind. Preserving the quality of treatment in a rush-free environment is essential. Every appointment has extra time built-in to account for setbacks. We do our best to catch up where we can, but we will never cut an appointment short because we are late. We have tea and water available for you while you wait.

Many clients feel a difference immediately in some way. Most clients require a 4-6 week recovery period following their first 3 treatment sessions which allows time for angiogenesis (new blood vessel growth). Improvement is usually felt during this time as the new blood flow promotes complete healing. If the issue has improved but not completely resolved after this wait period, we will recommend a 4th (and often final) follow-up session at that time.

Yes. This can occur for a couple of reasons. Firstly, shockwave stimulates the body’s own natural inflammatory response in the tissue being treated. This inflammation is temporary but can last for a few days after care, causing some sensitivity in the area. Secondly, Regenerative Wave activates muscle fibres that are not firing properly, which can present much like Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) or, put simply, soreness from a good workout. Lastly, Regenerative Wave can cause changes in sensation for cases involving nerve disorders, such as certain types of neuropathy. Every new client receives their own “What to Expect After Treatment” emailed for peace of mind. Feel free to email with any questions or concerns to Marc@fullrangetherapy.com

Absolutely! Regenerative Wave is a compliment to other modalities and fitness routines. There is no replacement for proper home and self care on a regular basis. Just give things a little time to heal before going full superman/woman! Regenerative Wave is a powerful tool for correcting major recurring or stubborn issues that are holding you back from your full potenial. Our goal is to get you back to your regular routines, not to replace them with something else. We don't want to see you back again for the same issue or be your new favorite regular therapist... no offence!

Yes! You just need to have a parent or gaurdian to give you permission by signing your intake forms. These are sent to your email when you book your first appointment, so your parent or gaurdian does not have to come in with you unless you would like them to accompany you.

Depending on your preventative and maintenance needs, one massage per month is the recommended frequency for most people. If your specific condition or needs demand it, your RMT will design a customized treatment plan which may involve more or less frequent massages. No massage of the same body area should be performed sooner the 4 days apart.

At your first massage, you’ll review your health history form and address any of your concerns and goals with your massage therapist. Once the treatment has been determined, the RMT will leave the room to allow you the privacy to get onto the table and make yourself comfortable. Before re-entering the room to begin the treatment, your therapist will knock on the door. The therapist will begin treatment and will check in a couple times to know your comfort level with pressure and the treatment. As you become better acquainted with your therapist in subsequent appointments, these check-ins will lessen and the therapist will begin to rely on you to communicate any discomfort.

Let a member of our clinic team know what type of massage you are looking for and any health concerns you wish to address. All of the Registered Massage Therapists that provide treatments at Full Range Therapy are trained, licensed and knowledgeable in multiple techniques. They will customize their style, and treatment, based on your needs. Additionally, you can find our Registered Massage Therapist bios on the clinic’s webpage, which can also help you find the best RMT for your needs.

Regular massage therapy provides some pretty amazing benefits. Massage therapy from a Registered Massage Therapist can help with everything from injury, muscle tension, chronic pain and stress, to posture, high blood pressure and sleep issues—as well as providing an hour of blissful relaxation (Some types of deeper massage treatment can be a bit painful). Massage therapy is a great way to help enhance both your mental and physical well being as well as positively contribute to your general health and wellness.

While it is great way to promote relaxation, massage therapy is so much more. Massage helps manage pain, reduce stress, improve circulation, decrease muscle tension, ease breathing difficulties, lower blood pressure, reduce headaches, improve mobility, promote sleep, manage anxiety & depression and helps improve your overall wellness.

Massage therapy is a recognized health care option that positively contributes to one’s general health and wellness. Massage works with pressure, distraction and muscle energy on the body’s soft tissue to help relieve pain and stiffness associated with stress, tension, injury and other conditions. It brings many benefits to our muscles, connective tissues, tendons, and ligaments in terms of managing, pain, injury, stress and tension levels.

No, while some places like this exist and are technically legal, the vast majority of the massage clinics are either physical therapy (injury and pain recovery) or spa (relaxation and ambience) based. Full Range Therapy focuses mostly on the physical therapy side with a touch of relaxation and anxiety work for those that need it. Anyone who requests something sexual will be reminded of this, and further persistance will result in cancellation of the massage and the client being asked to leave with full payment still due.

It is best to not eat for at least 90 minutes before your massage treatment and only a light meal at that time. The body needs time to digest your food. This is the same caution you would take when you go swimming or exercising. The digestion process directs the blood flow away from your peripheral tissues and concentrates it on digestive tract. Massage draws the blood flow to the area tissues being worked on therefore draws the blood away from the digestive tract causing poor digestion and possible discomfort.

There is no requirement to have a referral to see a Registered Massage Therapist. Extended health care plans, and insurers may require a referral before you will be covered. You need to check with your policy to see if you need one to be reimbursed for the treatments.

This is an issue of personal preference.

It is best if you can give an accurate picture of your health and injuries on your health history form. This enables your therapist to design the most appropriate and effective treatment for you

We have now removed all Covid - 19 limitations. If you are quite ill, we still do recommend recovering fully before treatment. But you will not be require to wear a mask, and our staff will no longer be wearing PPE.

We can read and understand most medical reports. They can offer some helpful insight into your conditions. So yes! Bring them!

You can wear anything you like as long as it is not dirty work attire or anything that might harm our massage sheets/equipment! However, the less clothing you wear on the table, the easier it is for your therapist perform a high quality massage. Our therapists are trained in proper draping to only expose areas of the body that need to be worked on will not expose anything more than a bikini bathing suit would. In fact, a bathing suit is ideal clothing for a massage if you decide you are uncomfortable with nothing. The only exceptions to this would be if the therapist has been asked by the client to perform specific work such as breast tissue, or pelvic dysfunction requiring direct access.

Massages last for 30 mins, 1 hour, 1 hour 30 min, or 2 hours depending on your the appointment you selected. This includes apx. 5-10-minutes of dressing time and health assessment to ensure a safe, personalized massage. Dressing and assessment times can vary depending on the complexity your treatment, or if intake records are incomplete.

With the appropriate pressure, massage can have a direct effect on the circulatory system and muscle spasm, which helps reduce inflammation and helps relieve pain. You are encouraged to communicate with your RMT about your pain/comfort level at any time during your massage. Massage can also be used on areas adjacent to an injury site to ease tension without directly aggravating a new or acute injury. For serious injury, it is best to seek the assistance of a medical doctor before receiving alternative treatments. To be sure of the injury's severity and what actions will make it worse. If it is simply low grade chronic pain, therapeutic massage can be a powerful tool for reducing or eliminating these symptoms.

Once treatment begins our therapists will follow your lead with chatting. We don't take offence if you suddenly go quiet, or simply ask for no talking. Alternately, if talking makes you feel comfortable, then they can do that to!

Let your therapist know your comfort level. It is possible to work on a client who is dressed. Though direct skin contact with an application of oil or lotion is always best. If elected, you’re Massage Therapist will only uncover/drape you so as to only expose the area which they are working on at any given time. If you wish to remain dressed, a bathing suit top and bottom would be the next best option, one that you are ok with getting oil on. And last, we can do an oiless massage through your full clothing if needed.

It is important to let your massage therapist know (this will be one of the questions on the health history form you will be asked to fill out on your first visit). Massage therapy is not recommended for people who suffer from haemophilia. For anyone else who just tends to have easily bruised tissue, we can adjust pressure and technique to avoid bruising for you.

Yes, if you just want to experience massage therapy to relax. However, to have a longer term therapeutic affect one treatment may not be enough. Take note: massage therapy is most beneficial in both acute and chronic conditions, when used over a series of treatments and then followed up with maintenance treatments or preventive home care. (Acute conditions are recent, occurring within a week to a month of treatment, and can be severe to mild with a sudden onset. This could describe anything from car accident to a muscular strain. While chronic conditions are present for several months or years, and can be from long term dysfunction or an improperly healed injury from long ago. )

Currently a massage master blend with a sunflower oil base, or pure organic coconut oil. Let us know if you have a preference or allergy!

Yes! Parents are always welcome to stay with there kids while receiving massage until everyone is comfortable to do otherwise.

TMJ or the temporomandibular joint is the main hinge point of the jaw and can be prone causing clicking, popping, painful chewing, cervical posture issues, ear pain/hearing issues and even unexplained long term headaches when it is not functioning properly. TMJ massage therefore attempts to ease muscle tension and misalignment that maybe behind these issues. The massage begins with the neck muscles, then moves onto the exterior facial muscles connected to the jaw, finally the therapist will put on medical gloves and guide you through the motions they will use to access the internal muscles of the mouth. (Yes they stick their hands in your mouth like a dentist) This whole process only takes about 30 mins but can be greatly enhanced when combined with a standard massage to address other body imbalances that maybe indirectly adding tension to the neck and jaw area as well. Regenerative Wave Therapy, can be a powerful next step if tissue regeneration is needed. Or if you prefer a less invasive approach to working intra-orally, cost is less of an issue.

It’s not uncommon to feel some muscle soreness after a massage. Massage triggers a release of lactic acid stored in tight muscles, which can create a temporary feeling of soreness. The good news? Many people enjoy post-massage heightened energy levels and an increased range of motion. Like exercise the initial massage usually causes the most soreness, but subsequent massages tend to diminish this experience if recieved at regular intervals. Experiences will vary person to person, and with different massage treatments, or dates. So monitoring how you feel and communicating with your therapist at your next session will yield the best results, and highest comfort long term.

Plan for 30 minutes of quiet time right after your treatment. An Epsom salt bath is recommended to soothe and to calm muscles, and enhance the benefits of the massage. It will help alleviate stiffness you may feel the next day, and it is also recommended for use after workouts for the same reason. Make sure to drink water to keep your tissues hydrated, and other general health advice such as good sleep, nutrition, light activity is also a good idea to get the most out of your treatment.

This can happen time to time, and all to often it leads to an avoidance of a particular therapist from one bad experience. Though there can sometimes be a legitamite client/therapist mismatch, whether it be personality, style, or simply an inability to relax around them. The grand majority of times, this can be attributed to a simple lack or break down of communication between therapist and client. Many people feel weird about interjecting mid massage, or multiple times to ask for a change, or giving negative feedback to there therapist, to spare their feelings or just avoid confrontation. But we'll let you in on a little secret, therapists love feedback, good or bad they thrive on it! All our therapists want you to feel your best both while in and after you are in their care. The more you communicate with them, the better they will get at serving you. If you want them to know how you feel... just let them know and we promise they will be happy to have the info even if its bad. They will adjust your next treatment immediately and continue to do so until they find whats perfect for you. And remember, therapists are human too. They can sometimes forget things with so many clients. A quick reminder at the beginning of treatment is all it takes if they forgot one of your preferences. We hope this helps you find your perfect massage!

Yes! After a large amount of muscle tension release this can happen and is completely normal. We recommend drinking water and sleeping it off if you find it undesirable. Most people love the feeling however. The only time to be concerned is if you have a low blood pressure condition that may make you feint. In this case, sit or lay down until you are feeling better, and get up very slowly after that.

Though we once did, we have moved away from direct billing for clients, now opting to have them self submit their receipts after payment. This change was made to help us focus less on wrestling with insurance companies and put that energy back where it belongs, with the patient. With each major provider having also developed there own high speed apps, it is exceedingly simple to self submit these days and in many cases allows the money to return to your account within a day or two.

Yes you can! Once you setup an account with us, this can be done online from your Jane account once created. Then simply share the code with you lucky recipient.

Because massage therapy is a recognized health care treatment, most extended plans cover massage therapy. It is always best to check with your insurance provider before your appointment to see how much is covered and whether you require a doctor’s note in advance for reimbursement purposes, so there are no unpleasant surprises. After your treatment you will be provided with a receipt, with the association number of the RMT that treated you, this can be submitted most times very quickly by uploading a picture into the app of your insurance company! We do not direct bill.

Your in luck! We have Full Range Financing to give you more time to pay. This can be selected before the massage as an add on if you know ahead of time, or will be automatically added to your invoice if once you are over 24 hrs late. How much does this cost? About $5 per week to maximum of 4 weeks, after which your account will be blocked from rebooking until the balance is settled. This deliquent amount will not be sent to a collection agency but will accrued 14% per annum interest, and block you from our services until paid.

We do not bill or submit medical reports to these entities directly. However, if you speak to your adjusters, many clients have been able to pay for massages and recieve reimburesment if it is covered in there settlement/rehabilitation plan. Always discuss this ahead of time to avoid being surprised by claim denial.

Debit, Credit Card, Cash, Apple Pay, Google Pay, E-transfer, Cheque, Cash, Online Invoice Payment. You may prepay for your massage during booking by credit card as well.

Our answer has and always will be.. no pressure. We don't expect it, but many people do. We always appreciate your visit no matter what you beliefs around this are.
