Theatre Production – Mrs. Warren’s Profession

Mrs. Warren manages a flourishing business, funding her daughter Vivie’s education in the finest boarding schools and universities, while keeping her profession as a Madam a secret. When Vivie, a “modern woman,” comes home to acquaint herself with her mother for the first time in her life, she challenges her mother in a two-woman battle of ideals between upper-class expectations and lower-class realities. In what is one of George Bernard Shaw’s most controversial plays, Mrs. Warren must attempt to reconcile with her disapproving daughter in a story sprinkled generously with sharp comedy and biting social commentary that remains relevant today.

What Happens During a Physio Assessment?

Your physiotherapy appointment begins in a private office with your therapist where you can discuss your presenting issue along with your goals and social/medical history. During this time any medical reports can be reviewed. Your therapist will take you through an assessment observing things like gait, range of motion, strength and functional movements. A working diagnosis is reached and together with the therapist you will come up with a treatment plan. Treatment may include massage, joint mobilization, dry needling and/or exercise therapy. At Fresh Tracks we reserve a full hour one-on-one in order to complete a comprehensive history, assessment and treatment.

Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) Treatment

Did you know that SMP is the most cost-effective, and least-invasive treatment for hair loss? Ideal for individuals interested in recreating their hair line and providing greater fullness to thinning hair. Many have undergone surgical hair restoration and did not get the desired hair density – patients are seeking to camouflage their hair transplants!

And as they heal, the circulation to the knees is re-established.

Smile Confidently

Dental implants from offer a great way to replace missing teeth and also provide patients with the option of having removable partial or complete dentures. Implants provide excellent support and stability for these dental appliances. Dental implants are artificial roots (titanium) that are surgically placed into the upper or lower jaw bone by a dentist or periodontist (a specialist of the gums and supporting bone). The teeth attached to implants are very natural looking and often enhance or restore a patient’s smile! Dental implants are strong and durable and will last many years. On occasion they will have to be re-tightened or replaced due to normal wear.

Micro-Needling for Beautiful Skin

Proper functioning of our skin cells is the foundation of healthy skin, and healthy skin is beautiful skin! As our outermost defence layer, our skin is susceptible to damage: scars caused by acne and burns, stretch marks, hyperpigmentation, and of course wrinkles and fine lines. Micro-needling can treat the root of this damage. During a treatment, special micro-needles are used to create thousands of micro lesions in the dermis, and this stimulates growth factors that induce collagen and elastin production in the skin, improving the function of the cells and thus the texture and appearance!

Counselling and Art Play

Not knowing where you belong or fit in the world can be really uncomfortable. It can affect your sense of self, the energy you have, the goals you set, and the way you relate and compare yourself to others. Mindful art play is one way to change that! Counselling and art play can help expose your inner critic, develop self-compassion, deal with difficult memories, open up your creativity and capacity to cope, and develop your sense of self. Counselling, along with art play, provides a safe and neutral place to explore your feelings and options.
