Decide you're worth it!

Being too busy to take care of your health is a problem for many people. Unfortunately the person who suffers the most from that decision is you! By making yourself a priority, you will function better in all of your roles. 

Chiropractic Care

Injuries can happen at any age and for various reasons, from accidents, emotional stress, sports injuries to simple everyday tasks like vacuuming. Unfortunately, it causes the posture of the spine to shift away from normal.This shift is called spinal subluxation. Spinal subluxations weaken the spine, organs and muscles causing pain, degeneration and disease. Chiropractic care is a safe, natural and effective treatment. You're the boss and as an active participant in your own health, you have a role to play in your recovery outcome too. From posture correction, stretches and nutritional advice, Dr. Kevin  will work with you to help you feel your best.

Bioflex Laser Therapy

The Bioflex Low Intensity Laser utilizes super luminous and laser diodes to treat musculoskeletal injuries, post operative pain and chronic and degenerative conditions. A painless light source penetrates the tissue where it is converted into biochemical energy. This energy stimulates natural biological processes that result in drug free pain relief and accelerated healing.

What can I expect at my first visit?

Your initial visit will begin with a comprehensive exam of the area of complaint. A doctor prescribed treatment will be provided and you’ll have the opportunity to discuss any questions you may have with the doctor at that time. Treatments are typically 45 minutes to one hour depending on the condition being treated.

Massage Therapy

Massage Therapy treatments effectively help heal the body’s soft tissues (muscles, ligaments, and tendons), by reducing pain and releasing tension. 

Relaxation Massage

Relaxing treatment aimed at decreasing muscle tension and relaxing the entire body. Movements are slow and soothing throughout the entire massage.

Treatment or Sports Massage

Deep tissue treatment specifically for an injured area(s) of the body. Reducing muscle spasms, stiffness and knots and increasing blood flow to the treated area.

Pregnancy Massage

Offers expecting mothers a safe treatment to help alleviate those aches and pains that can be associated with carrying a baby. Our pregnancy massage table provides a comfortable and relaxing face down experience regardless of where you are in your pregnancy.

Active Release Technique

ART is a patented soft tissue technique that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerves. Many painful conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis, neck,  shoulder and knee pain, commonly involve scar tissue formation as a result from over-use muscle injuries. Treatment from our certified ART provider combines precise tension and specific patient movements that reduce scar tissue formation and restore mobility in the extremities. 

What our clients are saying...

Patricia, teacher
"I was skeptical. I had never had much relief through chiropractic treatment. However after two initial visits, my lower back and sciatic pain diminished. Upon review and analysis of the       x-rays, Dr. Kevin showed me the deterioration of my hip which prompted me to initiate and pursue an eventual hip replacement. While waiting for the surgery, regular adjustments and massage helped me to relieve the chronic pain, allowing me to continue working until the day of the surgery. It truly takes a family of health providers to maintain good health."
Shawn, 2015 Elite Street Stock Champion
"For almost 15 years I have suffered from lower back sprains and strains on almost an annual basis. Since visiting Barlow Centre for Active Living, I have not had a recurrence in almost four years. This has greatly improved my health."

Robyn, Personal Trainer
"I have been going to Barlow Centre for Active Living in Calgary for over 15 years. I began with the massage services and quickly began using the chiropractic and laser services as well.
The team at Barlow Centre are not only welcoming and professional but truly the best at what they do. They take the time to listen and assess, and then work with you for a solution to ensure you are always at your best.
Being a highly active person, teaching group fitness, personal training and active in martial arts and dance, it's imperative I maintain a healthy spine and body. Over the years the team at Barlow Centre have helped me to do just that. For that I am ever grateful and would recommend them to anyone looking to be the best they can be."
Joyce, Professor
"I have been visiting Barlow Centre for 19 years. I always appreciate the amount of teaching that goes along with my care so I can be involved in my own health promotion and wellness. The coordination between the chiropractic care and massage therapy results in increased wellness and health satisfaction. This is a very welcoming Chiropractic Centre where you always feel they are fully invested in your care."
