WELCOME TO ACTIVE LIFE HEALTH CLINIC

Helping you help yourself
Active Life Health Clinic is a natural health practice that employs the ancient approach of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Methods of treatment include acupuncture, acupressure, Chinese herbals, Chinese food cures, western nutrition and supplements, and tui na massage. We offer treatment in our clinic as well as on-site workplace wellness programs with Active Life Mobile Health Services.

We also offer onsite and in clinic Reflexology, Bonsai Facial Rejuvenation and solution-focused counselling.

Our Philosophy
We strongly believe in the importance of "active" health care. Our goal is to work in partnership with you to bring you to your optimal health. We believe that we are guides, teachers, and motivators. Using proven health modalities that bring about whole-being balance, our focus is on ongoing health, not just temporary relief. This is what we call active health.

With this in mind, in addition to receiving treatment in the clinic, we will teach you ways to speed up your own healing process by advising you about specific foods, exercises, acupressure points, self-massage, and relaxation techniques best suited to your condition. We would also like to send you periodic updates on health issues, treatments, healthy recipes, and lecture venues. If you would like to receive these email newsletters (one every 4-6 weeks). sign up here

We also believe in YOUR right to choose. Click on the "Save Our Natural Health Products" icon below to find out why you may soon not be able to find over 50% of the health products that are now available to you in Canada and what you can do to try to change that.

Pain Management and Relief
While acupuncture and TCM can treat a diverse range of symptoms, complaints, and illnesses, acupuncture is probably most widely recognized for its ability to treat pain, both acute and chronic. Often used historically in the treatment of martial arts injuries, Chinese herbs are also very effective alternatives to prescription painkillers. Of course we should also make sure not to neglect the power of food. As Hippocrates said, "Let food be your medicine and medicine be your food", and he was right as some foods have been shown to have anti-inflammatory benefits. TCM can be used as either an alternative medicine or complementary medicine to standard medical therapies.
