Does this sound like a “moment” you’d like to have? Breathe in….breathe out….ahhhh…

Ask your RMT:
What keeps you in the profession?

The calm and peace.

Days can really get hectic, especially this time of year. I do my best to stay on schedule, but sometimes things fall by the wayside and the 15 min between sessions can be a mad dash.

However, as soon as that door closes and I set intention with first contact, usually static contact or compressions, we both take a breath and the world falls away. Everything is left at the door and inside we have a unique moment to forget responsibility of family, the stressful job, chores and errands, everything else can wait.

In this moment we are working on your goals we have set for this session. If it is relaxation, increasing range of motion for an area, reducing extra tension, pain management. This moment is client centred, focused on you and I get to be apart of this amazing opportunity.

Being apart of these moments is what I love about being a massage therapist.

Not long ago, we lost someone close to our community.

Chris was an adventurer, a father, a quiet supporter of good causes, and one of the people who helped shape the values behind Wild Rock. His son Kieran — one of Wild Rock's founders, and the founder of the ComPassion Project — has written a letter about what his dad meant to him, and how it’s helped shape the work we’re doing today.

This month, we’re sharing that story, and inviting you to support the ComPassion Project: a fund rooted in generosity, small actions, and real impact here in Peterborough.

And from now through Dec 3, all donations will be matched — up to $20,000.

At Optimal Health, we believe great care starts with continuous learning. 💡
Each month, our team dives into new research and emerging treatments to stay informed and inspired.

This month, we explored Protein-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections — a therapy that’s gaining attention for its potential role in healing and pain management. While we don’t currently offer PRP, we found the research fascinating and wanted to share what we learned.

👉 Read our latest blog to learn more about PRP, how it’s used, and what current studies are showing

At Optimal Health, our team is passionate about lifelong learning. Each month, we hold continuing education sessions to share the latest research, discuss emerging treatments…

Physiotherapy (Plus Acupuncture) for Arthritis? We asked a client for their perspective:

Living with arthritis? Physiotherapy — especially combined with acupuncture — has been a game-changer in my pain management journey.

Here’s what stood out to me:
✔️ My physiotherapist, Kathy, pinpointed specific issues with mobility and strength
✔️ After just two sessions, I was able to grip my water bottle and sleep pain-free again
✔️ Acupuncture helped calm inflammation and restore range of motion faster

The best part? I’ve learned to spot early flare-ups and get treated before things spiral. It’s not a cure, but it’s effective support that keeps me moving.
