ReFresh Wellness

Hello Everyone!

We are extremely excited to announce that we will be moving to a brand new location!

Starting August 1st and only steps away from Vaughan Mills shopping mall, you will find us at 100 Bass Pro Mills Drive, Unit 29.

We're very much looking forward to seeing all of our valued patients and members make the move with us!

If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact us.

Dr. Karlie has a special focus in pre and post natal care - read more about it here and tag a mom who could benefit from this information!

Mama, you deserve a strong, capable, pain-free body.

I know how hard it can be to prioritize yourself when you have little ones — but it’s so important.

Getting checked and developing a proper rehabilitation program for your pelvic floor & core post-birth is more than just — it should be the standard we set for ourselves.

A study published in The British Journal of Sports Medicine found that 32% of women still have a diastasis recti at 12 months postpartum.

It really won’t go away on it’s own. I’ve found substantial gaps in the abdomen of women 10, 20+ years post partum.

The complications of diastasis recti include incontinence, back and/or pelvic pain, organ prolapse, and can cause a sequelae of events leading to hernia or disc herniation.

The goods news is that the body responds so well to the proper dose & blend of manual therapy and exercise rehabilitation. It’s not super labour intensive either — most of my patients are healing their diastasis and improving/resolving their pain + dysfunction with work that takes just a few minutes a day.

It’s just important that you’re consistent and doing the exercises properly... as well as modifying things that can make it worse.

TAG a new mom, or a woman that complains of some of the common symptoms that arise from an unchecked diastasis. The conversation and subsequent treatment surrounding this topic is helping so many women!
