Sculptra® is the original injectable collagen stimulator, featuring microparticles of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA-SCA), which helps restore facial skin structure for long-lasting improvement. By stimulating natural collagen production, it firms and smooths the cheek region and tightens the jawline. Treatment areas include the cheeks, where it improves skin quality for firmer, glowing skin; smile lines, softening facial folds and wrinkles; and marionette lines, smoothing the lines from mouth to chin. Typically, 3 sessions are required over a few months.

Benefits of Cupping Massage
Cupping massage, used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries, is known for its powerful pain relief and muscle recovery benefits. By creating suction on the skin, it boosts circulation, loosens deep muscle tightness, and accelerates healing. This technique is effective for almost any area of the body, helping with chronic pain, sports injuries, and muscle stiffness. It breaks up adhesions, reduces inflammation, and enhances mobility, making it a great choice for athletes and anyone dealing with chronic tension. Whether you’re recovering from an injury or just need relief, cupping offers a natural and effective solution for pain.
Balance: Don’t Lose It!
How’s your balance? Do you find that if you’re not using it, you’re losing it? Practicing balance exercises and skills as we age can significantly decrease the risk of falling, which can help to avoid all kinds of injuries! Our eyes, our inner ear, and our proprioception (position sense in our muscles and joints) all contribute to our sense of balance. If there are deficits with any of these three systems, it can lead to falls. A personalized physiotherapy balance assessment and program takes only minutes out of your day, and can help you keep your balance!

Healthy Eating for Healthy Aging
March is Nutrition Month, a great reminder that what we eat plays a key role in overall health, especially as we age. A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins supports energy, brain function, and heart health. Hydration is just as important—aim for plenty of water throughout the day. For seniors, meal planning helps maintain proper nutrition. Eating smaller, frequent meals can be beneficial, and including calcium-rich foods like dairy, leafy greens, and fortified plant-based options supports bone health. Good nutrition fuels a strong body and mind, keeping us active and independent for longer! Let’s celebrate Nutrition Month by making healthier choices every day.
