Heat or ice? We get this question all the time!
The answer… it depends.
🧊 Ice can help temporarily numb pain and reduce discomfort after a recent injury or if an area feels irritated after activity.
🔥 Heat can be better for stiff muscles and joints, helping improve blood flow and make movement feel easier.
The most important thing? Neither heat nor ice actually “heals” the injury—they’re simply tools to help manage symptoms while your body recovers.
So it depends on what you prefer!

Craniosacral Therapy (CST), is a gentle hands-on technique used by our practitioners to release tension in your connective tissue to help ease symptoms of headaches, neck pain, and even chronic pain conditions like CRPS and fibromyalgia. Ask your practitioner if this may be right for you!

This week Maude Jobin Marchand, PT led a mentoring session for the whole CHPT team — clinical and admin — sharing clinical pearls from her recent communication course by Nick Hannah | Physio + Coach |.

The topic? Communication as a core clinical skill. And the message was a good one: the therapeutic relationship isn’t separate from treatment. It is the treatment.

People heal better when they feel heard, supported, and understood. Something we try to live by every day at Cole Harbour Physio — and a great reminder of why we invest in this kind of learning as a team.

Thanks Maude for bringing this to us. 🙏

When should you see a physiotherapist?
A lot sooner than most people think!

You don’t have to wait until the pain is “bad enough.”
Consider booking if:
Pain has lasted more than a few days
You’re avoiding activities because of pain
You’re recovering from an injury or surgery
You’re having trouble with work, sports, or everyday tasks
You want to prevent injuries before they happen

The earlier we identify the issue, the easier it often is to create a plan that gets you moving again with confidence.

NEW Service alert

You’ve probably heard of acupuncture. But do you know what it actually does?

Acupuncture uses the precise insertion of very fine, sterile needles at specific points on the body to stimulate your natural healing processes. It’s been used for thousands of years — and there’s a growing body of evidence supporting its effectiveness for:

📌 Chronic neck, back, and joint pain
📌 Headaches and migraines
📌 Stress, anxiety, and sleep problems
📌 Sciatica and nerve pain
📌 Sports injuries and post-surgical recovery
📌 Fatigue and low energy

Most people are surprised by how comfortable — and how calming — the experience actually is. Many patients leave feeling deeply relaxed and refreshed.

We’re thrilled to be adding acupuncture to our clinic starting August 5th, with our new team member Amanda Gorman. Appointments are now open to book.

Last Friday we gathered at North Brewing Company to celebrate someone who has meant so much to this clinic and this community. 🎉

Carolyn Judd has been the backbone of Cole Harbour Physio for over two decades — guiding patients, mentoring colleagues, and showing up with the kind of care you can’t teach. As she steps into a well-earned semi-retirement, we wanted her to know just how much she means to all of us.

The evening was full of stories, laughs, and getting to know better who we do this work with.

Carolyn, thank you. You’re not gone — just a little harder to schedule. 😄

A huge thank you to Hilary & the team North Brewing Company for the great space and hospitality!
