Long one-on-one appointments, in a private treatment room.
One goal, since 2021.
We have always operated with one goal: to provide high quality, compassionate healthcare to the people in our community. We schedule long appointments that are spent entirely one-on-one in a private setting, and we use that time to understand your concerns and goals, your background health, and who you are as a person. We stay up to date on research so you feel confident you are receiving evidence-based treatment.
Your first visit
Three steps, and no rush.
Set aside about an hour to eighty minutes for a first appointment.
-
Paperwork, before you arrive
Forms are sent to you beforehand so we understand your condition and your overall health before you walk in. If you cannot complete them first, arrive fifteen minutes early and we will do it together.
-
History and physical exam
Your practitioner reads your forms, then takes a thorough history covering the pain you experience and your general health. They follow it with a physical examination that moves your joints to recreate your pain.
-
Diagnosis and a plan
Once the examination is finished you talk through the diagnosis together and agree on the treatment plan you are going to follow.
Getting started
Less to sort out before your first visit.
Direct billing available
Direct billing is available on chiropractic, acupuncture, massage therapy and physiotherapy, so there is one less thing to claim back yourself.
Book an appointment

Paperwork before you arrive

Get directionsSix ways we treat pain.

Hands-on care
Chiropractic
Our chiropractors are trained in a range of techniques: joint manipulation and mobilization, soft tissue therapy, instrument assisted soft tissue therapy, electrotherapy, cupping, kinesiotaping, rehabilitation exercises and ergonomic assessments.
Acupuncture
Very fine needles are inserted into the body, with or without an electric current, to stimulate muscles and nerves. It reduces pain and increases range of motion and blood flow.
Massage therapy
Therapeutic or relaxation massage in 30, 60 or 90 minutes. Swedish and deep tissue massage, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, dynamic movements, cupping, Gua Sha and aromatherapy.
Physiotherapy
Physical therapy, rehabilitation exercises, joint mobilizations, soft tissue and instrument assisted soft tissue therapy, dry needling, electrotherapy, cupping, kinesiotaping and ergonomic assessments.
Devices and supports
Custom orthotics
Dr. Vanessa Blaquiere is trained in the fitting and prescription of custom orthotics and shoes. We analyse your feet at rest and while walking, take an impression in a foam cast, and your orthotics arrive in about two to three weeks.
Red light therapy
Specific wavelengths of red and near-red light are directed at tissue to help it heal. Red light stimulates cellular metabolism to promote ATP production and blood flow, and lowers inflammation to ease pain and stiffness. Sessions run fifteen minutes.
Shockwave therapy
Non-invasive therapy that uses sound waves on soft tissue to stimulate blood flow, break down scar tissue and promote natural healing. There are no shocks involved and it only takes a few minutes, so it is usually added to a visit you already have booked.

A few of the 137 reviews, in the patients' own words.
This clinic is a true blessing. I went from not being able to walk because of a severe back pain to getting back to work within a week. Theo demonstrates great chiropractic skills and is very welcoming. I absolutely recommend The Wellness Zone! All my thanks to Theo for your care and scheduling flexibility.
I have suffered so much pain in my lower back, hips and shoulders for years. Been to several massage therapist and Tyrell is the only one who has actually helped. He listens with thoughtful care and executes a plan to precision. He is also delightful to deal with. I love the Wellness Zone and recommend it 100%!. Professional, kind, accommodating to clients needs and really welcoming.
Vanessa has been incredible to work with on my shoulder injury. I couldn't recommend her enough if anyone is looking for a chiropractor! The Wellness Zone as a whole is also an incredible space. I have no doubt anyone in need of their services will be supported here.
