Physio for Hip Pain

Hip pain can have various causes, including arthritis in older people and repetitive movements in younger, athletic people. Many parts of the body impact the hips and all must be considered when designing a physio program to help reduce and even eliminate hip pain in some cases. Your physio program will depend on the source of your hip pain and will ultimately focus on relieving pain and improving functionality, balance, and range of motion. Exercise is extremely beneficial for anyone who is suffering from hip. Gently opening up the hips helps strengthen muscles and improve range of motion so be sure to stick to your exercise program between physio treatments.

Using Reiki to Ease Seasonal Blues

As November brings shorter days and longer nights, many people find their energy dipping and moods shifting with the season. Reiki offers a gentle, natural way to uplift your spirits during these colder months and not only promotes deep relaxation and stress relief but also supports the body’s ability to absorb essential vitamins and minerals—key for winter wellness. Reiki gently refreshes your system, lifting your energy – like a warm hug for your soul. And so, as we ready ourselves for the oncoming winter season, consider adding Reiki to your regular self care to restore balance, boost your mood, and brighten your days.

Safe, Dignified Bathroom Design

Bathrooms can be challenging for seniors, but thoughtful design helps maintain independence and privacy. Key upgrades include walk-in tubs or showers, which remove high steps and reduce fall risks, and grab bars with non-slip mats for extra stability. Shower chairs and handheld showerheads support comfort and ease of use, while bright lighting and wider doors enhance safety and accessibility. Together, these features transform daily routines into empowering moments of self-care. With solutions like Total Tub MB, seniors can enjoy a practical, affordable way to age in place, preserving both safety and dignity in their own homes.

IV Nutrient Therapy

Intravenous (IV) nutrient therapy is a clinical approach that delivers vitamins and minerals directly into the bloodstream under professional supervision. By bypassing digestion, IV administration allows nutrients to be available for immediate cellular use. Commonly used ingredients may include vitamin C, B vitamins, magnesium, glutathione, and amino acids — selected based on an individual’s health status and goals. At Uptown Integrative Health, IV nutrient therapy is one of several supportive options offered within a comprehensive, evidence-informed care plan. Treatments are always prescribed following appropriate assessment by a licensed naturopathic doctor to ensure safety, suitability, and individualized care.
