From the moment I walked through the door I was greeted by kind, friendly staff. I've had the pleasure of working with Chiropractic, physiotherapy and massage. Each are excellent and they care about your health. Never once have I felt like I was rushed out the door, or just a number. If you are looking for knowledgable and caring staff, I highly recommend you give Peak Health a try!

I have been a client of Kevin’s for a few years. I had a complicated shoulder recovery after surgery. Kevin explained everything to me in great detail and provided a comprehensive rehab plan. I can’t say enough good things about this clinic from the professionalism of the doctors to the friendly front desk staff. Great clinic and I recommend it to all my friends.

The team at Peak Health is amazing. My Fiance and I have been devoted customers for more than 5 years! We are monthly visitors and it is always a pleasure from check-in all the way to follow ups. Special shout out to Jessica E and Jana for always taking care of us.

My son loves coming to physio, not only does our physiotherapist make every appointment fun and engaging, but we have seen huge improvements in his confidence on the playground and he is now riding a bike!

Absolutely fantastic experience so far with Alyssa. I'm seeing her for carpal tunnel in both wrists, and she's improved my symptoms in a short period of time. Extremely thorough, knowledgeable, funny and experienced. She really goes above and beyond- I'm quite convinced she's magic? Also, the people at the front desk are so wonderful, I'm always met with such kindness and warmth. I come in for morning appointments, and it puts me in a good mood the rest of the day!

Peak is the best! I can't say enough about how they have helped me to feel better and encouraged in my healing. Dr Logan Gerwing has changed my life. I have such an optimistic view of where my healing can go since I've started here!

I've been coming here for about a year or so for different reasons and they are above expectations even when you see their ratings. Highly recommend this place!

I have been working with Sydney since she was still a student, and she is an incredibly skilled massage therapist. Her commitment to teaching her clients, setting clear boundaries/expectations and her communication style is such an important aspect of her therapeutic relationship with clients. I think you could get a great massage with many therapists, but Sydney really teaches you what your body has been doing, how to rehabilitate it, and helps to open up tight muscles you didn’t even know you had!

I've been going to Alyssa at Peak Health for a couple months now and my back feels so much better! She evaluated me, gave me stretches to work on and showed me how to do them in an easy to follow routine. Having other services and a "one-stop" shop is very convenient as I also receive massages from Julie and she works wonders on my back. Highly recommend both of them and the entire team at Peak Health, thanks again!

What is Kinesio Taping?

Kinesio and athletic taping involves taping over and around muscles for support to prevent over-contraction. An elastic form of tape is used that doesn’t restrict motion, but enhances it. Taping can improve muscle and joint proprioception by providing sensory feedback, reduce muscle fatigue and spasm, and reduce swelling, bruising and over-contraction of muscles. It can improve the activation of weakened muscles, relieve pain, and help correct joint mechanics by increasing the muscle function around the joint.

Yes, taping is an effective tool for athletes. It can provide support to the muscles and joints to improve performance and reduce the risk of injury. Taping can also help reduce pain and inflammation, improve proprioception, and increase range of motion. It’s important to note that taping should be used in combination with other treatments such as stretching and strength training for optimal results.

Athletic tape and Kinesiology tape are both forms of elastic taping that can be used to support and protect muscles, joints, and tendons. The main difference between the two is that athletic tape is designed to restrict movement, while Kinesio tape is designed to facilitate movement. Athletic tape is usually made of cotton fibers or synthetics and has a more rigid feel than Kinesio tape. Kinesio tape is made of a synthetic and elastic material that provides more flexibility and comfort than athletic tape.
