Red light therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or photobiomodulation, is a non-invasive treatment that uses red or near-infrared light to promote healing, reduce inflammation, and improve various skin and health conditions. Here is an overview of red light therapy:

Red light therapy works by stimulating the mitochondria in cells, which are responsible for producing energy (adenosine triphosphate or ATP). This process can enhance cellular metabolism, increase circulation, and promote tissue repair and regeneration.

Benefits for Skin Health: Red light therapy can improve skin tone and texture, reduce inflammation, promote collagen production, and accelerate wound healing. It is used to treat a variety of skin conditions such as acne, wrinkles, scars, and sun damage.

Pain Relief: Red light therapy has analgesic (pain-relieving) effects and can help reduce inflammation and discomfort associated with various conditions such as arthritis, muscle soreness, and joint pain.

Muscle Recovery: Athletes and fitness enthusiasts often use red light therapy to speed up muscle recovery, reduce muscle fatigue, and improve performance after intense workouts or injuries.

Brandi Abele RMT

Pain, stress and injury can have a profound impact on an individual’s quality of life. Brandi is no stranger to this and found her passion for the practice of massage therapy in addressing her own difficulties in this way through treatment. Her practice is informed by these experiences as she works to promote body awareness and relaxation, while decreasing pain and facilitating recovery from injury.

Understanding that one approach does not fit all, Brandi will work with you to develop an individualized treatment plan to meet your needs. Her practice is stress and trauma-informed as she offers holistic care, employing as appropriate, the treatment modalities of fascial mobilization, craniosacral, visceral/organ specific treatment, joint mobilization, neuromuscular therapy, dynamic release, muscle energy technique, active and passive therapeutic stretching, IASTM, and swedish massage.

She has experience in treating individuals with TMJ dysfunction, migraines/headaches, chronic pain, post-concussion syndrome, digestive conditions, whiplash, arthritis, nerve impingement syndromes such as carpal tunnel/thoracic outlet/sciatica, fibromyalgia, frozen shoulder, rotator cuff injury, tendonitis, strains/sprains, post-stroke recovery, hip and knee replacement, and provides pre/post-natal care, as well as treatment for general neck/shoulder and low back/hip/pelvic pain.

Brandi is enthusiastic about human anatomy and physiology, and has a keen interest in how the human body works. Over the years she has practiced various forms of dance and yoga, and encourages people to move their bodies, take pause, and breath. She values living a balanced life, currently practices meditation and yoga, and loves to learn.

Please wear comfortable clothing to your appointment and/or bring shorts and sports bra (or women).

Dr. Julie Nelson Dr. TCM, R.AC

Dr. Julie Nelson Dr. TCM, R.Ac. Traditional Chinese Medicine is a natural system that works with the body’s energy “QI” to bring it into balance. Physical trauma, emotional trauma, stress and lifestyle are just some of the factors that can injure or damage the body’s energy.

My goal first and foremost is to understand the cause of your illness and then provide a gentle, effective treatment in a safe, healing space.

My understanding of energy and how it gets stored in the body started when I began practising healing touch. I am able to detect Qi aberrations. This practice of hands on healing lead me to Traditional Chinese Medicine where I learned to incorporate needling, Gua Sha, Cupping, Electrical Stimulation and Chinese Herbs into my healing practices.

Located in Kitsilano, I specialize in musculoskeletal pain, women’s health, cometic & facial acupuncture, mental and emotional trauma
