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.

I am available in the clinic Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday.

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

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

Understanding that one approach does not fit all, I offer patient-centred, holistic care that is stress and trauma-informed. Working with you to meet your short and long-term goals, I consider all aspects of your life and health history when assessing and developing a personalized treatment plan with you.

Using the Biodynamic Fascial Integration treatment approach, which includes the modalities of fascial mobilization (myofascia, bones, ligaments), visceral/organ specific treatment and craniosacral therapy, I treat an area of the body locally while considering global fascial connections that may be contributing to your condition or injury.

I have experience in helping 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. I am enthusiastic about human anatomy and physiology, and have a keen interest in how the human body works and responds to therapeutic touch, movement, and breath. Over the years I have practiced various forms of dance and yoga, and encourage you to move your body and breathe, but also take pause and slow down. I strongly value work-life balance, currently practice meditation and yoga, and love to learn! …but I also love being a big kid, getting tattoos, and playing video games.

I look forward to meeting you and helping achieve your optimal health and wellness!

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
