We often attribute tension in the body to something “physical” but being under tension and stress can have a very negative effect on multiple body systems…including our muscles.

What happens to your body when you're stressed Heart racing, quick breathing and tension headaches are just some of the ways stress changes your body.

Good news! As Registered Massage Therapists, we are regulated healthcare professionals...and are considered essential services.

So amidst the potential stress and uncertainty of the next 28 days, rest assured, you can still look forward to your massage therapy! Strict screening and safety protocols will continue to be an important measure keeping us all safe!

I'm playing with an idea for the New Year and would appreciate your input. I haven't posted much on this page. Starting in January, I'm thinking of using it to share information about things like stretching, muscle education, self-massage, posture techniques, etc. What do you think? If you have other suggestions, I'd love to hear them!!

I’ll be opening my calendar up for appointments this Sunday, Dec 20 from 10-3. There are some spaces available. You can book online (link above) to reserve an appointment.

Now you can book, reschedule, and cancel your appointments online! Click "Book Now" or click this link. ⬇️ Easy Peasy!!

Book Online at Spencer Chiropractic and Massage

NEW HOURS — Monday, Tuesday and Thursdays. Appointments will be available at 8:30, 10:30, 1:00 and 3:00. I’ll be allowing extra time between treatments to allow for additional cleaning and sanitizing. At this time, I’m offering 45 or 60 minute treatments.

NEW PRICES — In order to help cover the additional costs of medical grade masks and other COVID-19 safety protocols, we have added $2 to our treatment prices.

BOOKING: I have disabled online booking for the initial reopening. You may message me through Facebook or call the office directly (613-342-9278) to book your appointment.

Looking forward to seeing you!

Wondering what new protocols we are putting in place to keep us all safe and healthy? This is a great explanation of what to expect before, during and after your appointment.

If you have a mask, please bring it with you for your treatment.

Doing a deep clean to get the space ready! It will not quite be business as usual, but at least we’re moving forward!!

I’ll post more details tonight.

It’s happening! Massage Therapists have received the green light from the Ministry of Health. Last night we received an official email from the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario, allowing us to begin a “gradual restart” to treatments.

I’ll be spending the next couple of days reviewing the safety protocols, ordering the necessary personal protective equipment and prepping my clinic space to maintain the highest level of safety for us all.

I’ll post more details here soon. I can’t wait to see you all again!

The health and safety of my clients are of utmost priority to me. Today, the College of Massage Therapists strongly recommended that all non-essential massage therapy treatments be suspended indefinitely.

As such, I'll be temporarily closing my practice effective today, March 16. If you have an appointment scheduled, I will be contacting you to cancel your appointment and will reschedule when that suspension has been lifted.

Thank you for your support these past two months and for understanding as we ride through this crisis together.

Stay healthy and safe!
