Therapeutic Approach Health Centre

Therapeutic Approach is a one-​stop-​shop for all you complimentary health services. They offer oriental medicine, allergy testing and acupuncture, physiotherapy, massage therapy, yoga, yoga therapy, naturopathic medicine, osteopathy, nutrition consultation and psychotherapy. It was founded by Maxine and Mike Munro who also started the yoga studio and teacher-​training program that reside in the same building.
I’ve been a client for several years, popping in periodically for massage therapy treatments. Located on Quinpool Road just across from the Superstore entrance, parking can be a bit of a challenge. But once you’re inside the stress starts to melt away. The reception staff is warm and efficient, everyone is friendly and the atmosphere is pleasantly zen without being so serious that you feel like you’re not allowed to giggle.
I’ve heard very good things about the nutritional consultations and naturopathic medicine, and I can confirm first-​hand that the RMTs on staff are kinda sorta miracle workers. This is isn’t the same massage you would get a spa or salon, but I think it’s better — a concerted effort is being made to create an environment of calm … and you never leave the treatment room and get blasted by music and smell of nail polish.
Not that I don’t like nail polish, but it’s not exactly a scent conducive to stress relief (not for me anyway). If you’re looking for a professional place that offers multiple «alternative» medical options, give this little gem a try.
