We remain OPEN As Registered Healthcare Professionals, we are able to keep our doors open for all who need our services during this difficult time. We are grateful With the news of Ottawa’s lockdown being official, our hearts are with all the small local business and shops taking the hit for our safety. ... Show your solidarity by skipping Amazon, ordering your food directly from your local restaurant instead of through Uber, and purchasing gift certificates from local shops in your area. Wear a mask. Wash your hands. Maintain social distances. We can do this Ottawa See more

#Repost @phoebe_at TGI #phoebefriday! This technique is a trigger point release for the upper fibre trap (UFT) muscle. It can be used to help relieve neck pain, headaches, shoulder pain, and many other ailments. ... As great as this technique is, it's always important to address why the pain is occurring! In most cases, it can be due to decreased firing of middle or lower fibre trap muscles that help keep your shoulder down during simple day to day tasks or exercise. Getting manual therapy is great - but always make sure you are given a clear rehab plan from your manual therapist. This is important to ensure the tightness goes away! : @sham.it Book through our link in bio.

This. This has not been an easy year for anyone...but even amid the madness there is joy to be found if you keep an eye out for it. :) If this year has taught us anything, it has definitely taught us the importance of taking care of ourselves. At the end of the day when all of the external things that we normally enjoy were removed what was left? Us. Our bodies. Our minds. Our relationships to ourselves, our friends, family and communities. Taking care of your health is some...thing only you can do for yourself. Taking care of your internal world will have a positive effect on the world around you. Do yourself and your world a favour today and book yourself some treatment! We can help out with those headaches, join pains, sleepless nights, tummy aches, sports injuries, and so much more! Now offering treatments on Mondays and Alternate Saturdays! of @theartfulhealer by @sham.it #SelfCareIsNotSelfish #MassageTherapy #Chiropractic #ManualOsteopath #AthleticTherapy #Acupuncture #TraditionalChineseMedicine #NaturopathicMedicine #EnergyWork #Reiki #SageWellness #SageWellnessOttawa

Woooooowwwww!!! Today @sagewellnessottawa turns 13!! For 13 years we have been here, plugging away at making Ottawa a little bit healthier one treatment at a time. ... When @theartfulhealer opened doors 13 years ago, she had no idea where it would lead, how long it would last, what it would do for the community, and by the looks of her Facebook status not too much to say about it. Thirteen years of soothing your aches and pains Ottawa. Thirteen years of getting you back to your favourite activities. Thirteen years of lowering your stress. Thirteen years of helping you sleep better at night. Thirteen years of caring about YOU! We are only getting stronger and more focused and even better at serving you Ottawa! And can we all take a minute to laugh about how 2020 it is that we are turning lucky number 13 this year??? Seems about right. Thank you thank you thank you to our community for supporting us through the madness of 2020, and the years leading up to it! You are why we are here doing what we do! #happybirthdaysage #turning13 #teenagebusiness #ottawawellness #sagewellnessottawa #hereforyoualways

Do you ever stop to wonder if your children feel stress or physical discomfort? If you think children dont, its been too long since you were a child. ;) Kids lead very busy and increasing higher pressure lives. They have increased expectations placed on them and more time spent on computers. This can lead to stress and tension in their bodies. ... Stress in children may present in different ways than in adults, but the younger we can help them be aware of their mind body connection the better! Your children are covered under your benefits for the same treatments that you are, so why not start them on a healthy path at a young age. When bringing a child in for treatment you have the option of staying in the room during the treatment, or not, depending on their age and comfort level. #sagewellness #mindbodywellness #massagetherapy #chiropractic #acupuncture #athletictherapy #osteopathy #cupping #naturopathicmedicine

Hey hey Ottawa (and beyond)! We are looking for a new artist to adorn our clinic hallway with their beautiful work! You get to hang a minimum of 10 pieces of your artwork in our hall for our clients to enjoy and hopefully purchase! ... We have an awesome universal hanging system that makes it easy and convenient to hang your work. We keep a small portion of sales, and this time around we will be donating it to @blackhealthcan ! Could this be you or someone you know? DM us for details. #localartist #localart #indigenousart #indigenousartist #blackartists #blackart #sagegallery #artistsofinstagram

Hands up if youve been feeling the strain of working at a makeshift home work station!? You are NOT alone. We are seeing people daily who are experiencing new and old aches and pains from working at work stations that are less than ideal from a ergonomic standpoint. If this is you, come in sooner rather than later to take care of those muscle imbalances before they turn into chronic pains. Sometimes all it takes is a little hands on work, and some guidance on small ways... to tweak your set up to ease further strain. We can also help out with stretches and suggestions on where to strengthen to help balance your body out. Or if you just want to come and relax and leave your work outside the clinic for an hour, that is a good reason to come in too! Now booking appts Tues - Fri, 11am-5pm. Massage Therapy, Chiropractic, Athletic Therapy, Osteopathy, Acupuncture, and Naturopathic Medicine. Looking forward to helping you soon. #selfcareisessential #allbodiesarewelcome #massagetherapy #chiropractic #athletictherapy #osteopathy #acupuncture #tcm #naturopathicmedicine #workingfromhomeproblems #deskjockey #backpain #neckpain #wristpain #lowbackpain

We are working at becoming helpful, supportive and authentic allies on social and behind the scenes. We want to help create a world that is safe and equal for all humans.

Feeling a little droopy these days?? Just like this beautiful plant, sometimes we need a fresh pot (perspective), rich soil full of nutrients, fresh water and some support to live our best lives. We are in clinic and working with a compressed schedule for the time being. For now we are working Tuesday - Friday from 11-5. Pop on and get yourself a spot if you are in need of some self care. Wondering what deems an essential treatment? Touch is essential. Book in if you ne...ed it. We are here for you.

Just wanted to take a minute to be very clear. ALL BODIES ARE WELCOME AT SAGE WELLNESS. It needs to be said. We treat muscles, and joints, and blood vessels, minds and hearts. No gender, sexual identity, skin colour, religion, country of origin, body size or other identifier has any bearing on how you are treated at Sage. We treat humans who need care. It should be obvious...is what our privilege tells us, but the more we are learning, the more we realize that its ok to ...make it clear. Its important to be inclusive in our words as well as in our actions. So, once again. ALL BODIES ARE WELCOME AT SAGE WELLNESS. We love you. Thats all.

Hey hey! Teresa sporting her mask! Just a reminder that masks are mandatory! Our Colleges have given some of us clearance for practice, but it is coming with lots of new protocols. One of those protocols is that masks are mandatory for clients as well. We ask that you arrive with your own cloth mask on. Dont have one? We will be selling masks handmade right upstairs by @studiodianne !... This isnt a forever thing, but it is a for now thing that has allowed us to open doors again. We will keep you posted if this protocol changes. Until then...please bring your mask. :) #sagewellness #massagetherapy #chiropractic #naturopathicmedicine #ottawawellness #masksaremandatory #thenewnormal

We have been listening and learning. We are so proud of Ottawa for the Black Lives Matter protest today. This is the beginning of an era of change that is long overdue. We were there in spirit, but have to keep away from big crowds to keep our clients safe. Our hearts are open and so are our minds. We know this is not a sprint, but a marathon and we are committed to creating a plan for change. We are committed to wellness. Not just in our bodies, but in our minds and communities too. This means we are going to work together as a team to learn the ways in which we can better support and welcome our Black community. Wellness is not white. Every body deserves to be well. #sagewellness #communitywellness #antiracist #blm #blacklivesmatter #longtermcommitment

There is so much pain being expressed right now in the world and We hear it. It needs to be expressed and there needs to be change. There needs to be big sweeping change. It all starts with each of us examining how we fit into the system that has caused this pain. Educating ourselves by listening to the voices of those voices that should have been heard long ago. This movement is long overdue and we are doing our work as allies. What can you do to take action? Follow account...s like @laylafsaad @rachel.cargle @blklivesmatter @theconsciouskid Read. Listen. Have the uncomfortable conversations with your peers. Donate to @mnfreedomfund or any other grassroots organizations you know is doing the work. We need to show up for our black community. This is not just an American issue. Please share any other accounts that would be helpful resources. #blacklivesmatter #justiceforregis #justiceforgeorgefloyd #justiceforahmaud #justiceforbreonnataylor

Sage Wellness 20.12.2019

Just a heads up, our governing bodies do require that because we are working in such close contact for a prolonged period that all clients/patients wear a mask during their treatment. So, please bring your cloth mask...it will be much more comfortable than the disposable ones we have for you. :) It wont be a forever thing, but these precautions are in place so we can get you back on the table. If you are unable to wear a mask for any reason - please call the clinic and ask ...to speak to your therapist. There are exceptions which can be considered if your therapist is comfortable. #gradualreturn #onedayatatime #massagetherapy #sagewellness #chiropractic #acupuncture #precautions #sorryitsmandatoryfornow

Sage Wellness 06.12.2019

We are sure you will have heard by now, but we got very exciting news on Thursday from some of our governing bodies! We will now be able to offer Massage Therapy and Acupuncture for those in need of care. We have worked hard behind the scenes to get the clinic ready to have you in for treatment in a safe way. We have made many adjustments (see previous post) to ensure we are adhering to all of the requirements from public health and our governing bodies, and we take this seri...ously. Some of the flow at the clinic will be different, but the quality of care will be the same. We are here for you! We are working to get all schedules live over the weekend, so check the booking often for updates. We will post stories as we go. Its a gradual restart so schedules on the website will not be accurate - the booking calendar will be. We really appreciate your patience and support as we navigate how to do this in the safest way possible. We are ready, are you?? #sagewellness #sagewellnessottawa #massagetherapy #chiropractic #acupuncture #tcm #thenewnormal #changeisok

Who else has been missing this face?! Dr. Chad DC is going to be back in the house starting this Wednesday and Friday. He is able to offer urgent care only at this time, so we do ask if it is a maintenance treatment you are seeking that you hold off booking until the rules change and availability increases. If however you are experiencing a significant decrease in mobility or increase in pain please book in. Treatment will be by appointment only - so book ahead. We are moving... to an electronic filing system which means that our booking calendar will be changing as well. Link in bio to create a new profile and see availability. :) Arent we sooo 2020!? We are working very hard behind the scenes to get everything set at the clinic to keep you safe while getting your body feeling better. This means we will have many new practice requirements in place. 1. If you have any symptoms or have been exposed to anyone who has symptoms of covid you cannot receive treatment. 2. You must come alone to your treatment. No family or friends may attend with you. 3. We ask you to wait in your car or outside the building until a minute or two before your appointment time. 4. Upon entering the second floor you will need to pop into the bathroom and give those hands a thorough scrub. 5. Your practitioner will be wearing PPE, since it will not be possible to maintain social distancing during your hands on care. It is recommended by Public Health that you wear a cloth mask as well, but is not mandatory. 6. Unfortunately no water will be served, and no hanging out at reception for now. Boo! We will miss this as well. So. Much. 7. All soft surfaces have been removed from treatment rooms to ensure that we can sanitize all treatment and high touch surfaces between every treatment. (Hospital grade germicide approved by Health Canada) 8. We will ask and remind you to practice safe social distancing at all times in common areas. Did we forget anything? There are a lot of changes to the flow, but one thing will never change at Sage. Our focus is on you. On your health, and we are here to support you. We are so excited to be able to offer you some in clinic, hands on care!

Sage Wellness 21.11.2019

Practice is going to be different coming back. We will need to strike the balance between the powerful effects of close contact and touch as a part of our physical therapist while ensuring we take every precaution to keep everyone safe and healthy. We are going to find this balance. We are going to work hard to create a space that reminds you that you are safe and we are here to help you feel better in that body of yours. It is going to take work and we will adapt as we go. ...But we are going to figure it out, for you and for us. The beautiful smiling faces at reception are going to be greeting from behind this bad boy. Will share a pic when its all installed. We will be referring to it as the GLASS CAGE OF EMOTION.

As things start to open up again and the world begins to look normal again, what are some of the things youve noticed you want to hang on to? What are some of the things youve learned about yourself during the pandemic? Weve seen so many people out enjoying this beautiful weather running and cycling, enjoying time in the parks, dinners out in their yards. Some of this is happening because of necessity, we need space from our home where we are spending more time. But mayb...e it is reminding us of the simple pleasure that are free for us to enjoy at any time. We are so excited to help keep your body healthy as you take on new adventures and cant wait until we can do that again. We are patiently waiting for the government to give us the green light and we will let you know when we do. In the meanwhile we hope you are enjoying this beautiful weather and taking a moment to pause and ask yourself what lessons you want to carry forward from this time. #sagewellness #holistichealthcare #running #cycling #internallandscape #massagetherapy #chiropractic #osteopathy #athletictherapy #acupuncture #naturopathicmedicine #healingjourney

Who else was able to get out and enjoy some sunshine this weekend? Breathe some of that fresh air deep into your lungs, soak in some sunshine for a Vitamin D boost and move your body? Isnt it amazing how that affected EVERYTHING!? Do you notice that when you do that your mood lifts or improves, even slightly?... Do you notice that the mental chatter hat builds up from too much time at the computer slows down a little? Do you notice that you become a little more aware of the world around you, and so a little more connected? Is that just AWESOME!? We are excited for this beautiful weather and what it brings to us. We are so thrilled for our sister retail locations that are able to open their doors in a new and safe way today. We are working behind the scenes to ensure that when our time to reopen comes we will have a safe place for you to come and reconnect to your body. To take care of those aches and pains and get rid of that build up of stress. What is your favourite outdoor activity to enjoy at this time of year? Now that we can enjoy parks in a different way does anyone have any creative ways to enjoy them? #outdoortime #naturetime #springsunshine #wellnessottawa #vitaminnature #sagewellness #massagetherapy #osteopathy #acupuncture #chiropractic #athletictherapy #naturopathicmedicine

Rain rain go away... How are you feeling today? Is the rain matching the feelings you are having inside? Have you been able to let yourself relax? Have you taken time to just sit with your feelings and take inventory?... Life is different now and we are out of our routines, so its important to take pause and check in with yourself. How is your body feeling? Would it feel better if you took a few deep breaths? Drank a little more water? Stretches a little? How is your stress level? Would you feel better if you called a friend to talk about it? Wrote in a journal? Gave yourself room to be messy and imperfect. Even just for today? We are all doing the best we can. You are doing the best you can and we know that. Give yourself a big hug and pause to remind yourself you are doing great. What are your go-to stress management techniques? Any favourites youd like to share? #selfcare #sagewellness #wellnessottawa #stressmanagement #bodycheck #covidselfcare

How is your body feeling right now? How well are you caring for yourself? Selfcare is so important right now, and it doesnt need to be complicated. ... Today for your body can you do a couple of simple things like; walk around the block if you havent moved today, or dance to your favourite song while cooking dinner. Today for your mind can you do a couple of simple things like; find a quiet spot (the toilet works) and breathe deeply for 2 minutes, remind yourself you are doing the best you can and that is good enough. Today for your heart can you do a couple of simple things like; look into your eyes while washing your hands and tell yourself I love you, ask for help with one small thing. Self care doesnt have to big a huge time commitment or burden. It can be a simple choice at any given moment. You are doing so great. Keep up the amazing work. We are rooting for you. :) #sagewellness #mindbodyconnection #selfcare #covidselfcare #simpleselfcare #moveyourbody #wellnessottawa #findyoursupport #youarenotalone

Little self care technique coming at ya! Anybody feeling some tension in their neck and/or experiencing headaches? This simple technique can help to alleviate tension by putting a gentle traction on the neck. All you need is a resistance band and some floor! Enjoy the gentle pulling sensation. Do not pull into discomfort. You should be able to completely relax and breathe deeply while holding this stretch. ...

As Mothers Day approaches we want to take a minute to send big love and hugs to each one of you. Although not everyone is a Mother, we all have one. We want to send love to those who had a loving, present, and kind Mother. To those who had a distance, cold, and unloving Mother. Those with a Mother who was ill (physically or mentally). Those with a Mother that was the picture of health. Those with a Mother who was kind with her worlds, and those that were cruel. Those that c...ame to every sporting event, and to those that never showed up. To those who never knew their Mother and those that call their Mother their best friend. To those with more than one Mother. To those raised by a non-biological Mother. Right now, we are all feeling unsure and in need to extra support. For some that means being their own Mother right now. For some that means connecting to a Mothering energy in someone else, be that a biological or chosen Mother. Sending big Motherly loving energy to you all as we prepare to celebrate all of the Mommys this weekend. Whether they are our greatest support or our greatest teacher. #allofthemothers #mothersday #ittakesallkinds #selflove #mentalhealth #sagewellness #motherlylove #positivevibes

What an amazing weekend filled with sunshine we had. It is so amazing watching the spring flowers come out and greet us. :) Do any of you find it hard to focus or calm your mind? Even more so lately with so much going on externally? Why not try a silent walking meditation. :)... Find a relatively quiet space (can be a inside or outside). Soften your gaze and walk very slowly. Bring your attention inward and pay attention to the information your senses are giving you. What do you see? Feel? Hear? Smell? Notice these thoughts without attaching meaning to them, they are just observations. They are helping bring your awareness into your body and into the present moment. Try doing this for 5 minutes. Notice how you feel after. Did your heart rate slow down? Were you breathing a little deeper? Do you feel some tension has left your body? This is a meditation technique you can apply to other activities as well. Why not try a silent shower meditation, or a silent meal. No music, no distractions. Just bringing your awareness to the present moment and focusing on your physical sensations. Enjoy!! If you try this, let us know how it was for you! #bodyawareness #sagewellness #massagetherapy #wellnessottawa #covidselfcare #meditation #walkingmeditation

Tomorrow will mark 7 weeks since we had to close clinic doors for covid. 7 weeks!? So long ago now that we still had this snow boot sign up at the door! Its going to be warm and green out before we can open again. We are missing all of you so dearly. We hope you are doing well. We hope that you are able to find peace and little windows of self care in all of this change. We hope you are finding ways to connect to your friends, family and community in new ways that leave you ...feeling supported. We cannot wait to open our doors again and get our hands on you. We know you need it. If there are any other ways you feel we could support you right now. Information on specific topics, stretches, ergonomic suggestions, stress management, please let us know.
