A special focus is put on identifying the specific causative factors of existing pain and distress while also observing areas where intervention could prevent future injury and elevate performance. Recognizing that each condition is different and every patient is unique, our chiropractors employ a wide variety of manual therapies to expand upon the more traditional adjustment-based chiropractic approach. Recognizing the essential role of active care in the development of self-efficacy, they also employ movement coaching and therapeutic exercise prescription. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9cbc8a2f1c2d4970c288b3/1604560774508-U6P9YK60ANV2I3CBIK55/Vitality2020_1275.jpg Vitality Services - Active Release Techniques ® (ART ®) Active Release Techniques® or ART® is a patented, state-of-the-art soft tissue system/movement-based technique that treats injury or overuse-related dysfunction within muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and nerves. An ART® practitioner uses a hands-on approach to identify involved soft tissues then directs the treatment using anatomy-specific protocols that combine coordinated patient movements with directed tension into the target tissue. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9cbc8a2f1c2d4970c288b3/1604560829698-S0TA6NJ5T1YISNGYA4S0/Vitality2020_1452.jpg Vitality Services - Graston Technique ® Graston Technique® is a patented soft tissue technique system that uses specially designed stainless steel instruments to detect and treat areas of scar tissue and fascial restriction within muscles, tendons, and ligaments. The technique employs a spectrum of light to heavy strokes to effectively treat soft tissue conditions at any stage of injury - acute, chronic, or post-surgical. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9cbc8a2f1c2d4970c288b3/1604562029020-DZOA7G4FHS8HQ7KH06XW/Vitality2020_1222.jpg Vitality Services - Laser Therapy Laser Therapy, also known as Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), is a non-invasive, light-based technology used in the treatment of generalized pain and swelling, neuromusculoskeletal conditions, arthritis, sports injuries, and wound healing. The technology works by inducing a photochemical reaction at the level of the cell which subsequently leads to an activation of biological responses involved in cell proliferation, tissue repair and remodelling, immune/inflammatory modulation, and vascularization. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9cbc8a2f1c2d4970c288b3/1605764749230-KY8NHWGSMK6ZZLL1NZ38/LisaSeyfriedPhotography_3453.jpg Vitality Services - Pre- & Post-Natal Care Pre-natal chiropractic care is employed with the same set of goals as with the non-birthing population - maintaining proper spinal and pelvic function and restoring and maintaining joint and soft tissue mobility. Pregnancy and delivery does however present a unique set of challenges and stresses, so our aim is to help expecting moms live these experiences with a maximally functioning musculoskeletal system. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9cbc8a2f1c2d4970c288b3/1605763233919-AYA6ABBRTE1VWC5P7I2T/LisaSeyfriedPhotography_3735b.jpg Vitality Services - Physiotherapy Physiotherapists have an extensive knowledge of how the body moves and functions and use evidence-informed clinical skills to assess and treat illness, injury and disability. Physiotherapy aims to restore your physical health by optimizing how you move and function in your environment. Movement is medicine and the cornerstone of physiotherapy is exercise rehabilitation. Appropriately, treatment focuses largely on how exercise can be used to improve your overall health and well-being. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9cbc8a2f1c2d4970c288b3/1605243520435-XBAFTQ0GUR2YAXO0QMWU/Vitality2020_1598.jpg Vitality Services - Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) IMS (Intramuscular Stimulation) is a treatment technique that utilizes fine filament needles. The needles are placed within the muscle, causing a neuro-muscular response resulting in reduced muscle spasm and pain. The treatment works best when combined with movement and exercise rehab. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9cbc8a2f1c2d4970c288b3/1605764006696-GJPAZED25K6FBQFP23H4/LisaSeyfriedPhotography_3530.jpg Vitality Services - Massage Therapy Massage therapy aids in maximizing physical function and decreasing the incidence of injuries associated with work, sport and daily activities. Preventatively, regular massage therapy can be used to decrease the likelihood of developing chronic pain and to help develop better posture, mobility and strength. A variety of techniques such as myofascial release, joint mobilizations, deep tissue techniques, and relaxation techniques may be used to alleviate you pain and improve your physical function or merely help you relax and manage stress. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9cbc8a2f1c2d4970c288b3/1605243795685-E19JOWEKK7R8I9M7LSG6/DaySpa2019_4662.jpg Vitality Services - Acupuncture Acupuncture involves the insertion of very fine, sterile, single-use needles into precise acupuncture points on the skin in an effort to encourage the body to promote natural healing and to improve function. Acupuncturists may also use electro-stimulation, cupping, and massage techniques to achieve the desired healing outcome. Acupuncture therapy has been safely and effectively tested in controlled clinical trials in recent literature for a variety of diseases and disorders. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9cbc8a2f1c2d4970c288b3/1604561600419-X7XZQLZN1VEZ31DA7WDR/Vitality2020_1351.jpg Vitality Services - Custom Orthotics A custom orthotic is made to treat or adjust abnormal foot motion; provide support, stability and control; increase proprioception; absorb shock; and relieve pressure on uncomfortable or sore spots. A detailed physical exam is performed by one of our chiropractors. In addition, the patient walks over our state-of-the-art GaitScan mat which analyzes ground contact and pressure distribution during your gait cycle. Thirdly, a semi-weight bearing foam cast is taken so the orthotic can be custom molded to your foot shape. https://vitalitynelson.com/contact daily 0.75 2024-08-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9cbc8a2f1c2d4970c288b3/1603759276962-ENJ6GD92BEA9AF1LTNHR/VitalityVictoriaStreet6429.jpg Contact Reception https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9cbc8a2f1c2d4970c288b3/1603600057947-1O0X1KRY4HUG9Z36W48Z/VitalityVictoriaStreet6268.jpg Contact Victoria Street Entrance https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9cbc8a2f1c2d4970c288b3/e2e75e87-b1b6-450a-a6ed-c180ea2f4114/VitalityVictoriaStreet6410.jpg Contact https://vitalitynelson.com/dr-brodie-nadeau-chiropractor daily 0.75 2021-11-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9cbc8a2f1c2d4970c288b3/1603658388131-V4AX73TTOWYH9Q0JXO11/NadeauFamily2020_9891bw.jpg Dr. Brodie Nadeau - Chiropractor - DR. BRODIE NADEAU CHIROPRACTOR Dr. Brodie’s interest in health care began with an Undergraduate degree in Microbiology & Immunology from Western University which then transitioned into Graduate education at the University of Toronto in a Cancer Research laboratory in the field of Molecular & Medical Genetics. While appreciative of the great importance of this line of work, Dr. Brodie desired to be on the front lines of health care where he could positively impact people's lives more directly. Talking with members of the profession and drawing on his own experiences with sports injuries, Dr. Brodie knew a career as a chiropractor would be the ideal landing space. He graduated Magna Cum Laude from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in 2007, as a classmate of Dr. Dee. In crafting a custom solution for your issue, Dr. Brodie draws on the fundamentals of anatomy, biomechanics, and physics, working from first principles to identify the underlying movement abnormalities that lead to pain and limit performance. Dr. Brodie also holds a keen interest in the science of pain and pain perception. https://vitalitynelson.com/lila-taylor-registered-massage-therapist daily 0.75 2022-04-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9cbc8a2f1c2d4970c288b3/1604557698047-TBK4H70TMR1961SSWEI6/Vitality2020_1162bw.jpg Lila Taylor - Registered Massage Therapist - LILA TAYLOR REGISTERED MASSAGE THERAPIST Lila is a true Kootenay girl born at the end of the road in Johnsons Landing.

DEE ANNE NADEAU CHIROPRACTOR Dr. Dee was born and raised in Nelson, BC. After graduating high school, she went on to complete her degree in Human Kinetics at the University of British Columbia. Having always had a passion for studying anatomy and physiology, Dr. Dee knew she wanted to pursue a career in the health care field and this first degree was merely a stepping stone to something she always dreamed of. With careful deliberation and research, and recalling her experience with a skilled sports chiropractor utilizing Active Release Techniques® in conjunction with spinal adjustments, Dr. Dee decided on the field of Chiropractic. This combination of treatment modalities made a breakthrough in the healing of a chronic injury that she had no prior luck treating with any other practitioner, ultimately inspiring her to pursue the same career path and methodology. In 2003, Dr. Dee moved to Toronto to attend the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College. She dedicated herself to taking extra courses along the way including Active Release Techniques®, Graston Technique®, and pre- and post-natal care to suit many different patient populations. Soon after graduating in 2007, an opportunity opened up in Nelson and she made the journey back home to practice. Dr. Dee has a strong passion for treating pregnant women throughout pregnancy and after delivery. She has taken courses from the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association, including the Webster Technique®, and especially loves the honour of caring for newborns and children of all ages. With her own love and passion for sports, water, and the outdoors, Dr. Dee could not be happier to be in Nelson doing what she loves to do. She married her classmate Dr. Brodie Nadeau in 2014 and has two children of her own. https://vitalitynelson.com/kristie-elliot-registered-massage-therapist daily 0.75 2021-11-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9cbc8a2f1c2d4970c288b3/1605761253625-C3XQUK73ZU8LCKFEJ66Z/LisaSeyfriedPhotography_3789bw.jpg Kristie Elliot - Registered Massage Therapist - KRISTIE ELLIOT REGISTERED MASSAGE THERAPIST Kristie grew up in Ottawa and studied Kinesiology at Lakehead Univeristy.

PRACTITIONER & ACUPUNCTURIST Jennifer Dunn Moynes has been practicing and teaching Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture since 2004. She graduated from the Academy of Classical Oriental Sciences in Nelson BC, where she went on to become one of the main instructors and clinical supervisors for students for over 15 years. Jennifer combines Acupuncture, Electro-acupuncture, Chinese Herbs, Tuina Massage, Cupping, Moxibustion, and Gua Sha therapies in her treatment plans. Post-graduate studies in the art of Cupping and Tuina Therapy, a Chinese style of massage, has helped to enhance her treatment strategies. After years of training hundreds of students clinically, she has found that this combination offers the best treatment and clinical results. Jennifer has been prescribing traditional Chinese herbal medicinals since 2004. Herbal consultations are about 30-45 minutes long, and can be done in person or virtually. Patients can use herbs to compliment treatment strategies and to benefit health. In TCM we use herbs to balance the internal body so that we can treat the root of a disease pattern, thereby changing the underlying cause of illness. Herbs speed up recovery, enhance overall health, and reduce stubborn symptoms. Jennifer has worked and taught extensively with patients in the areas of: soft tissue injury, neurology, headaches, disorders of the eyes, ears, nose and throat, dermatology, cardiology, respirology, immunology, insomnia, digestive/gastro-intestinal complaints, psycho-emotional complaints, urinary disorders, gynecology/menstrual disorders, infertility, pregnancy and postpartum disorders, male sexual dysfunction, palliative care and pediatrics. Jennifer has been registered with the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture BC since 2001, and has been a committee member with the College since 2019. She has experience working in private and professional clinics, in hospitals and long term care settings, and doing home visits for pregnant and palliative patients. She welcomes patients of all backgrounds, and strives to make healthcare accessible to everyone in the community! https://vitalitynelson.com/studio daily 0.75 2026-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9cbc8a2f1c2d4970c288b3/6133ea6e-1828-42f0-b342-95d49c7cfa2a/VitalityVictoriaStreet6389.jpg Studio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9cbc8a2f1c2d4970c288b3/ed2b5aaf-b9b9-49d6-88e9-aaa561d85c76/VitalityVictoriaStreet6475.jpg Studio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9cbc8a2f1c2d4970c288b3/9f537b4f-d78c-48c5-855e-0944adf7e6db/VitalityVictoriaStreet6462.jpg Studio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9cbc8a2f1c2d4970c288b3/1665888234441-CNRHL0BRVU2Z2HYYC0KY/Banner9bStudio.jpg Studio - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9cbc8a2f1c2d4970c288b3/d19314fd-64dd-463c-9af8-b7fd0320f722/Melisa+Logo+Stack.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9cbc8a2f1c2d4970c288b3/f2dfc2a2-6113-448c-a9ad-9f1f16e354e5/Feldenkrais+Poster+2025+copy.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9cbc8a2f1c2d4970c288b3/1684822095950-0G4MY6HVF0G1S06A1DM1/image-asset.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9cbc8a2f1c2d4970c288b3/338f67cf-f699-4549-b610-4c9e80813c19/Pilates.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9cbc8a2f1c2d4970c288b3/1666236290551-JFUXCDZVD5LFG68LBPLP/Sound+bath+rack+card+2022.jpg https://vitalitynelson.com/lisa-ogrady-physiotherapist-1 daily 0.75 2024-08-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9cbc8a2f1c2d4970c288b3/d671e091-083f-474d-8095-e37a6e63786b/Lisa+O%27Grady+Web.jpg Lisa O'Grady, Physiotherapist - LISA O’GRADY PHYSIOTHERAPIST Lisa is an internationally trained Physical Therapist from Auckland, New Zealand.
