Meet Patrick Callas, Naturopathic Doctor and fountain of knowledge extraordinaire!

Perhaps you have enjoyed one of his talks at the Classroom, (two more coming this season) or have been one of his clients or read one of his articles.

Our marketing coordinator, Charlotte Priest, sat down with Patrick to talk about a wide variety of health concerns - including ADHD, alcohol consumption, iron testing and more.

Stay tuned as we release weekly videos to hear some of Patrick’s insightful wisdom.

Big changes are coming for menopause care in BC.

Starting March 1, 2026, the new National Pharmacare Plan will expand public coverage for many menopausal hormone therapy options, with some therapies fully covered for eligible residents.

For many people, this may reduce financial barriers and make evidence-based menopause care more accessible.

If you’re curious about whether your current prescription will be covered — or if you’ve been considering MHT — this is a great time to review your options.

As always, treatment decisions are individualized and should be made in conversation with your healthcare provider.

“As a physiotherapist, one of the most common things I hear when the temperature drops is, “My joints just don’t like the cold.” If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Many people living with arthritis notice more stiffness, aches, or reduced movement during colder months. There are plenty of simple, practical ways to stay comfortable and keep moving when winter rolls in.”

Read the full article by our Rob Cosma for tons of helpful ways to stay warm and moving during these cooler months!

Ever wondered what those strange elastic band things are people use for stretching?!

Therabands are elastic resistance tools widely used in physiotherapy to support rehabilitation, injury prevention, and functional strengthening.

They allow for controlled, progressive resistance, which helps improve muscle strength, endurance, joint stability, and range of motion while placing minimal stress on the joints. During rehab Therabands are commonly used to assist with neuromuscular control, movement retraining, and gradual return to activity following injury or surgery.

Their versatility and size makes them an effective and accessible option for home exercise programs, supporting ongoing recovery between clinic visits, and a great tool for exercise while travelling or at home!

In support of Rob Cosma, Madrona’s Practitioner of the Month, therabands are 10% off this month. Come see us at the front desk. 🙋‍♀️
