Did you see the recent Consumer Reports investigation about lead contamination in protein powders? It made waves because because many popular brands contained measurable amounts of heavy metals like lead, arsenic, and cadmium. These were mostly American products, but given that most ingredients are sourced internationally, it’s fair to assume the products on the Canadian market are similar.

So — should you be worried? Unfortunately, yes.

Read the full article by ND, Hannah Webb and ND, Patrick Callas, on how you can empower yourself to choose the safest protein powder for you and/or your family.

Back pain is one of the most common issues our physiotherapist, Rob, treats — and one of the most misunderstood.

When we feel pain, it’s natural to guard the area and avoid movement — or to rely on long-term painkillers as our main management strategy. But in most cases of low back pain, gentle, targeted movement can actually be key to recovery.

Research shows that core strengthening plays a major role in both preventing and reducing back pain — that’s one powerful approach.

Another example: pain from a bulged or herniated disc often worsens with *flexion* (bending forward), while *extension* (gently arching backward) can help relieve pressure on the disc and decrease pain.

However, if your pain isn’t disc-related, this advice may not apply — which is why understanding the cause of your back pain is so important.

That’s where a physiotherapist comes in — with a full assessment and a personalized treatment plan to guide you toward lasting relief.

Rob’s goal is to help you understand your pain, rebuild confidence in your movement, and prevent future flare-ups.

💧 Why we do Nutrient IV Therapy

Sometimes your body just needs a little extra support. ✨

IV nutrient therapy delivers vitamins and minerals directly into your bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system for better absorption and higher doses than oral supplements can offer.

It’s a fast way to replenish, rehydrate, and restore — helping your body do what it’s meant to do: heal, repair, and thrive. 💪

People often notice more energy, clarity, immune strength, and calm after their treatment.

Each IV is tailored to your needs — whether you’re recovering from stress, fighting off illness, or simply wanting to feel your best.

Think of it as a deep recharge for your cells. ⚡️

IV therapy at Madrona includes iron IVs, high-dose vitamin mineral blends, glutathione, and much more. We also do nutrient injections including vitamin B12, vitamin D3, and more.

Did you know Dr. Hannah offers gentle, safe, trauma-informed IUD insertions?

She offers contraceptive counselling of all kinds, and you can talk with her about range of holistic to conventional medical approaches to contraception. Without judgement, explore what is right for you - whether the pill (did you know there is a plant based birth control pill now?!), the implant, the IUD, cycle tracking, or something else.

Dr. Hannah is especially passionate about IUD insertions because:

1 - This is one of the MOST highly effective birth control methods, largely because once it is in place you don’t have to think about it.

2 - SO many women have had bad experiences and she believes strongly it truly does not have to be that way. She has many strategies to create safety and comfort in the process.

3 - It provides one of the few non-hormonal birth control options and for many women this is an important factor

IUD insertions are offered on a sliding scale.

We’re thrilled to announce that Rob Cosma, Physiotherapist, is now offering pool sessions for a small group of clients.

🌊What is Pool Physiotherapy?🌊

Pool physiotherapy is a gentle, water-based treatment led by a physiotherapist, focused on movement, recovery, and pain relief. In each session, patients learn how to use the water for therapeutic exercises, stretches, and pain relief strategies tailored to their specific injury or condition. The buoyancy of the water reduces pressure on joints, making it easier to build strength and improve mobility with less pain. It’s especially beneficial for those recovering from surgery or managing chronic conditions like arthritis.

Benefits of Pool Physiotherapy
🌊Low-impact exercise: Water reduces stress on joints and soft tissues, making movement easier and safer.

🌊Buoyancy support and pain relief: Helps support body weight, reducing joint pain during exercise and aiding balance.

🌊Gentle strength building: Resistance from water helps build muscle without overloading the body.

🌊Enhanced balance and coordination: Controlled movements in water help improve stability and motor control in a safe environment.

🌊Faster post-surgical recovery: Promotes movement earlier in the recovery process with less discomfort.

Who Can Benefit?

· Post-surgical patients (e.g. joint replacements, ligament repairs, spinal surgeries)

· Individuals with osteoarthritis, lower back pain, or

· Patients experiencing chronic pain or reduced mobility

· Those living with rheumatoid arthritis or autoimmune conditions
