We’re In! 💙

Wadden Physiotherapy and Sport Performance is proud to once again be taking part in the 5th Annual Teal to Heal Cape Breton, presented by MacDonald Auto Group, on Sunday, May 10, 2026, and we’ll be walking/running as the Wadden Physio Ovary-Chievers!

📍 Membertou Sport and Wellness Centre (95 Maillard Street)
⏰ Check-in: 9:15 AM
🚶 5K Walk: 10:00 AM
🏃‍♀️ 2K Walk / 5K Run: 10:15 AM

Teal to Heal is an event that hits especially close to home for us. Mike's wife Dena founded the event after she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. They know first hand the barriers that Cape Bretoners who are diagnosed with gynecological cancers face in their recovery. This includes having to travel to and from Halifax for numerous appointments.

This incredible event supports the Teal at Home Fund, helping individuals and families in our community living with gynecological cancer.

We’re inviting our friends, patients, and community to join our team and be part of this amazing event 💙:

We will also be accepting donations in person at the clinic. All donations of $20 or greater get a tax receipt from the Cape Breton Regional Hospital Foundation as well.

👉 Bonus: Anyone who donates will have their name entered into a draw to win a Wadden Physio backpack + massage gun!
🎉 Winner will be drawn on May 8th

Whether you join us, donate, or cheer from the sidelines, your support truly makes a difference!

Let’s come together for a great cause 💙

Rock Your Socks! 🧦💙💛

Today, we’re celebrating World Down Syndrome Day by rocking our brightest, boldest, and most mismatched socks!

Why socks? Because chromosomes are shaped like socks and today is all about celebrating the uniqueness and individuality of people with Down syndrome.

At Wadden Physiotherapy and Sport Performance, we believe in inclusion, community, and supporting individuals of all abilities to reach their goals, the results you want, the care you deserve!

Join us by putting on your favourite fun socks and sharing your photos to spread awareness!

The countdown is on. Our new chiropractor, Taylor Speirs, is arriving next week and the timing could not be better. Between all the shovelling aches and pains and people gearing up for golf season, Taylor is ready to keep our community moving comfortably.
Taylor’s care is hands-on and movement focused with a blend of joint and tissue work, acupuncture and exercise.
She has a keen interest in TMJ, headache and weightlifting injuries.

Put down the shovel and pick up the phone to book your appointment.

We have Big News!!

We are excited to officially welcome Dr. Taylor Speirs, Chiropractor, to our growing team.

Taylor has been practicing in Nova Scotia since 2020 and brings five years of experience serving the Dartmouth community. Her approach to care is evidence-based, active, and focused on helping people feel stronger, move better, and get back to doing the things they love - whether that’s work, sport, training, or everyday life.

She shares our belief in the importance of a thorough assessment, hands-on treatment, and exercise-based care, empowering patients to be active participants in their own recovery. Taylor builds individualized plans that combine manual therapy with progressive rehabilitation and clear guidance so patients feel confident every step of the way.

Outside the clinic, Taylor enjoys weightlifting, staying active, and exploring Nova Scotia’s natural beauty. She also serves as a volunteer firefighter, reflecting her strong commitment to helping others and giving back to the community.

Taylor is thrilled to now call Cape Breton home and looks forward to meeting new patients and becoming a trusted part of their health journey.

We are proud to have her join our team and know she will be a tremendous addition to the care our community has come to expect from us.

For those on our physiotherapy waitlist, chiropractic care with Taylor is now available as an additional option. Feel free to contact us if you’d like more information.

Current and new patients are welcome to call the clinic to schedule your appointment--> 902-567-0900

Please join us in welcoming Taylor to Cape Breton and the Wadden Team!

Last week we said goodbye to Ashley, our 2nd year Dalhousie physiotherapy student, as she completed her 6-week placement with us.

It was great having you as part of the team these past few weeks, and we appreciate all the hard work, positive energy, and care you brought to our clinic.

We’re always proud to support the next generation of physiotherapists, and Ashley was a great addition to our clinic.

We wish you all the best as you continue your journey—we know you have a very bright future ahead!

💙 🧡A Little Love Note from Our Clinic 🧡💙

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
We’ve got some exciting news…
And it’s all about YOU.

We thought we’d be open in March - that was the plan,
But dreams like this take time, care, and a hardworking clan.

Behind the scenes, there’s a crew working day and night,
Pouring their skill and heart into every beam and light.

To the trades, the planners, the helpers making it real,
Thank you for the long days and the pride you can feel.

So here’s the update, straight from the heart
Our new, bigger clinic will open in June… the next chapter of what we’ve built from the start.

We’re growing our space at 7th Exchange,
With new services coming — and exciting changes.

More room, more hands, more ways to care,
Better access to appointments — we’ll get you in there!

And while the space is new and the walls may be tall,
The way we treat you? That won’t change at all.

Same quality care.
Same individualized plans.
Same focus on helping you get better —
With skilled and compassionate hands.

We can’t wait to welcome you through brand new doors,
With expanded services, new team members — and so much more.

June can’t come fast enough — we’re counting the days,
Thank you for trusting us in so many ways 💙

With gratitude and excitement,
The Wadden Physiotherapy Team

Happy Valentine’s Day ❤️
