Do you suffer from chronic tensions headaches, upper back tension, or maybe even whiplash?  There’s a reason why you’re feeling more pain now when the weather is getting cooler.  Your body will naturally shunt blood away from the area that is cold which creates a physiological response creating muscular tension.  The McKinley Health Center in the University of Illinois states “wearing a scarf in cold weather helps keep you from hunching your shoulders.”

Wearing a scarf in surrey BC, especially when you have a neck or back injury, will increase warmth, which in turn increases circulation.  That has a positive physiological effect of increasing circulation, decreasing muscular pain, and even assisting the recovery of injury.  At our therapy clinic in Surrey, especially this time of year, we find ourselves prescribing a simple remedy: “wear a scarf”.  A simple solution that makes a huge difference!

Watch this 45 sec video to hear what our expert therapists have to say. Save your Neck! wear a scarf in Surrey BC!

Back to School Routine

August 30th, 2011

Soon, the “back to school routine” will begin.  Parents will be packing lunches, driving kids, and taking them to soccer practice.  Universities & colleges start, and the countdown to exams begins.  How does your body handle this “back to school routine”?  Well, at first you might be a bit tired waking up earlier – or anxious to see what teacher you get this year…  but we actually do quite well once a daily pattern has been set.  We do well with “routine”, and it helps us organize our life.  So what a great time to also make your therapy part of that routine!  Plan your treatment into your busy week, and put your health first.

Legacies & Back to School

At Legacies Sports Massage & Chiropractic, we want to wish everyone a great start to the Fall, and to remind our patients that we head into a very busy season at the clinic.  Many people are trying to schedule their extended medical visits before the end of the year.  With planning, you can schedule your appointments ahead to get the appointment times you want.  Enjoy these last few days of summer!

Get better faster & cheaper!

August 2nd, 2011

How important is it to follow my massage therapist or chiropractor’s treatment plan?  Simple: do you want to get better as soon as possible and at the lowest cost?  Because that’s what the goal of your treatment plan is all about!

Get better faster & cheaper!

At Legacies Sports Massage & Chiropractic, we’re all about getting results – its what we’re known for and is likely why you were referred to our clinic.  So that means outlining a specific Treatment Plan (like a road-map to recovery) for each of our patients.  This is specific to you – based on your assessment – to ensure you get better as soon as possible.  Sooner means cheaper, right?  You bet it does!  Without a clear Treatment Plan (or if you don’t follow your practitioner’s advice), you will find that it is “pain” that keeps bringing you back to the clinic – and that is often too late.  You may find you get into a chronic cycle, and never fully recover if this is the case.  So what’s our advice?  Follow our advice! Do your part, and we’ll do ours – and the results will be amazing!

If you are unclear about your Treatment Plan that your practitioner has designed for you, please just ask.  ** Did you know that Legacies Sports Massage & Chiropractic is one of the only clinics in Surrey & Delta that gives written Treatment Plan slips to our patients, and sends a Patient Progress Report to all referring doctors? We’re proud to be your choice – thank-you!

 

Who has the best rates for Massage & Chiropractic?

July 13th, 2011

Have you ever called a clinic and asked, “How much does it cost?” and you’re given a single answer?  Does one price really fit all?  At Legacies we say, “NO –  it does not!”.

Legacies has the most options!

We make it a priority to offer the communities of Delta and Surrey the best value in treatment with the most affordable cost options.  Our simple motto has always been, “if we can bill it to a third-party, we will”.  That means at Legacies we bill all third-party insurers including ICBC, WCB, MSP, RCMP, and DVA.   In some of these cases, the entire treatment cost is paid by the insurer and you pay nothing! Not sure if you’re covered?  Just call us and we’ll walk you through it, or visit our Frequently Asked Questions on our website.

We don’t mark-up our rates either! We charge only the recommended fee schedule from the Massage Therapists’ Association of BC.  But further to this, we also offer a Senior and Student discount at a further 15% off.

At Legacies, we go the extra-mile for our patients – and that also means offering the most affordable cost options out there.  Thank-you for choosing Legacies, and referring your friends and family.
