Dr. Glenn is so amazing. I always feel so much better after my visits.
I just love this team so much. I've been going to Dr.Glen since the spring for Chiro and have noticed a significant improvement in my symptoms, but even more it's just a warm and welcoming space. Would definitely recommend, especially if you're nervous about starting a new treatment program or just have general anxiety. They'll make you feel at home.
I can’t say enough good things about The Wellhouse. Dr. Jake is absolutely amazing he really takes the time to listen and explain everything in a way that makes sense. I came in struggling with back pain, and after seeing him I’ve noticed a huge improvement. The care is professional, the atmosphere is welcoming, and you can tell they genuinely care about their patients. If you’re looking for a chiropractor in Nanaimo, I highly recommend Dr. Jake and the team at The Wellhouse.
I've been seeing Dr. Glen at The Wellhouse for the past 2 years, and I can't recommend the practice enough. I initially came to them due to old injuries that finally caught up with me. I was experiencing chest pain that felt like a heart attack, along with hip problems, lower back pain, shoulder pain, and neck discomfort. Dr. Glen took the time to thoroughly examine me and discovered that one of my vertebrae in my back was missing a piece, which was pinching a nerve and causing my chest pain. Thanks to their care, I've learned so much about my body and my health. I can honestly say I haven't felt this good since I was a child. I'm grateful for their expertise and compassionate approach. I will definitely keep coming back — I couldn't ask for better hands to help me on my wellness journey.
I've had continual back pain postpartum, and Dr. Jake immediately knew how to address and treat my needs. I've been to him many times for treatments now, and always come away feeling cared for and like the treatment made a difference. The staff at the wellhouse have always been very friendly and welcoming as well!
Jake's my guy. He really took the time to listen to my issues and get to heart of the problem. I'm back playing pickle-ball and looking forward to having Jake watch-over my long-term progress. Super friendly staff at The Wellhouse!!!
I've known DrGlen Reed WellnessChiropractor for coming up on 5 years now, and always found him to be down to earth, knowledgeable, and committed to not just fixing an issue, but educating patients so that they can improve and maintain their overall heath.
Dr. Glenn reed and staff are so incredible! As a first time mom it was scary for me to bring my 7 week old baby to a stranger. But Dr. Reed made me so comfortable and I instantly knew I was doing the right thing. They are the most supportive, accommodating practice that I have ever been to. I won't take my son anywhere else! Thank you for everything you've done for us Reed family wellness centre �
I have used multiple services from Reeds for a couple years now. I find the staff to be encouraging, and look for my health (as opposed to only what's wrong with me). I feel valued, like what I bring is acknowledged. All around good people!
I recommend this clinic to anyone that asks me. I have seen Jessica Reed for almost a year now and wouldn't change a thing. It is amazing what they do to help me recover from all the hard training I put my body through. I can't say enough about all the staff members here.
Betty and I chose the excellent rating only because there wasn't a seventh star made available. So, we'll simply attest to the fact that our findings go beyond excellence! I'm confident you'll arrive quickly at the same conclusion when you do yourself a favour by checking in at Reed Family Wellness Centre.
My husband is seeing Yue Fang (Willa) Wang , Registered Acupuncturist and Registered TCM Herbalist . She is professional, dedicated , and caring . He has had very good results from her care and prescribed herbal medicine . The office is clean and comfortable . The desk staff always cheerful and kind .Thank you so much Willa for your kind care and concern ! Highly recommended your services !
I had the pleasure of inviting Alyssa Rose Horton, a member of the Reed Family Wellness team, into my grade 4/5 class to do a presentation on the importance of nutrition and how to make healthy choices. The presentation Alyssa shared with my students was extremely informative, relevant and engaging for my class! How to live healthy and nutrition are some of the most important concepts today's children need to learn, Alyssa did an excellent job of teaching my students how they can make healthful choices everyday. The "Power Smoothie" at the end was also a definite crowd pleaser! I would and will recommend Alyssa to all of my colleagues and hope that others get the opportunity to learn from her as well!
Professional, knowledgeable, warm, caring, inviting are just a few words that describe Reed Family Wellness. Our whole family enjoys it here. I feel blessed to have found such a great team!
RMT benefits
How Massage Therapy Works
Registered Massage Therapy (RMT) is a form of physical therapy that uses manual manipulation of soft tissues in the body to help relieve pain, restore range of motion and improve overall well-being. RMTs are registered with the College of Massage Therapists of British Columbia. They are specifically trained to identify areas of tension and dysfunction in the body and use various techniques to help reduce pain, improve mobility and provide relaxation.
Unlike relaxation massage, RMT involves a deeper understanding of the body’s muscular structure, soft tissues, and nervous system, allowing RMTs to address specific conditions and concerns. Your RMT may use other forms of massage therapy as well to achieve your health goals, including myofascial release, and craniosacral therapy.
RMTs have completed a minimum of 2,200 hours of education and training from an accredited massage therapy program, including courses in anatomy, physiology, pathology, massage theory and practice, and ethics.
Improve Your Postural Balance
Registered Massage Therapy treatments can help you improve your postural balance. Through targeted massage sessions, an RMT can help you restore and maintain a balanced posture, and reduce discomfort in the neck and lower back.
Improve Your Sleep Patterns
Massage sessions with an RMT can also help you improve your sleep patterns. Through massage treatments, your RMT can help you reduce stress, relax your muscles, and get a better night’s sleep.
Reduce Stress
Registered Massage Therapy can also help to reduce stress in your daily life. Manual therapy can help you relax your body and mind and lead to improved mental and emotional wellbeing so that you can recover better to do more of the things you love.
