My appointments for February are almost full! If you are having trouble finding an available appointment online, please reach out to me directly. I will do my best to fit you in where I can!

Looks like snow! Just a reminder to all of my patients, I do not charge a cancellation fee on snow days. Please prioritize your safety, and do not drive unless it is safe to do so. Happy snow day all!

For my patients who I have working on core bracing and hip hinging instead of flexing at the spine, here is a fantastic visual put out by Dr. Jerome Fryer Chiropractor and Dr. Stuart McGill on WHY we do this. Keep this in mind when you are practicing these movements, and remember practice practice practice makes perfect. You CAN get pain-free activity back in your life!!

MONDAY . Let's all have a great week, starting with a great Monday! . #monday #mondays #mondaymorning #caseofthemondays #haveagreatday #haveagreatweek #happymonday

Time to schedule your next massage! . Let's be honest, in these crazy stressful times, many of us have been putting self-care on the back burner. Stop it! . It's time to start focusing on yourself again. Breathe, dance, play in nature and of course, make some time to take care of your body.... . We have all been through a lot. A massage is a great way to tune in to your body and release some of those "stress muscles" that are causing daily aches and pains. . Be good to yourself. Get a massage. . Also I have no idea why this dog needs sunglasses in the treatment room, but to each their own. #youdoyouboo . #massage #massagetherapy #rmt #rmtduncan #vancouverislandmassage #duncan #vancouverisland #duncanmassage #cowichanvalley #cowichanvalleymassage See more

That means you can even schedule your appointments in the wee hours of the night when you should be sleeping but are still scrolling on your phone ... At least if you are laying awake, you might as well be scheduling some self care time.

This is a great video about maintaining mental and physical wellbeing during lockdown. I recommend taking a few minutes to watch!

Square Breathing or Box Breathing is one of my favourite techniques for calming down the nervous system and tuning into the body. Give it a try!

Hi all! Here is another video for relieving some of the stress and tension of our NEW SEDENTARY LIFESTYLES! For those of you whose low backs are aching with all this self-isolation, this one is for you ... https://youtu.be/V0YMPz7X1k8

Let's all keep moving!

Hi guys! Today I go over an easy stretch to help ease UPPER BACK pain caused by sitting around in self isolation. Make sure to check out my YouTube channel for more tips and tricks to stay well during this difficult time ... https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3pJedoNEC91zULV-728SBQ/

Hey all! I decided to film a video series on stretches you can do to help ease aches and pains when you are unable to come in for your regular massage! Self isolation can be hard on the body, so here is a quick stretch that you can do to start mellowing out some of that tension in your neck and shoulders. If there are any areas of your body that you are finding achy from being sedentary all day, please let me know and I will do my best to include some stretches for you in the... series. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for staying home and doing your part to slow the spread of this pandemic. Wherever you are in the world, my heart is with you (even when my massage hands aren't)

To all my valued clients, It is with a heavy heart that I announce I will temporarily be closing the doors on my Massage Therapy Practice both in Nanaimo and in Duncan to do my part in reducing the threat of spread of COVID-19, effective immediately. Due to the physical nature of Massage Therapy, I am not able to meet the criteria of social distancing issued by our Public Health Authorities. I feel it is my professional and social responsibility to do everything I can to keep... my clients and community safe, which has led me to the decision to temporarily close. Id like to show my gratitude to Pure Body Balance Health and Fitness, and CN Health & Wellness for their efforts in keeping the community safe by temporarily closing their clinics at this time. This is not an easy situation for any of us, and the leaders in these clinics have chosen to put the safety of the community first. I am tremendously grateful for this. This was not a decision that was made lightly, as I understand that many of you rely upon your sessions with me for your injury recovery and continued health. I appreciate your trust in me to aid you in your healing journey, and look forward to working together towards your health goals again soon. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions as we all navigate this together. I wish all of you health and wellbeing through this difficult time. With care, Gillian Harvey, RMT
