Let's go fly a kite in 2021!

Winter, done correctly, can contribute positively to your mental and physical health. Dr. Mountain often describes to his patients how small changes to your routine in the winter can have more beneficial impact than taking many supplements.

For the past 5 years we have been beyond blessed to have Dr. Porisky be part of our team. And as we are saddened that she is leaving us, we are excited for this new chapter in her life. For those of you who may not know, Dr. Porisky is getting married and moving to Northern Alberta. We have appreciated the warm, friendly, and thorough care she provided our patients and we will miss her gentle presence in the clinic.

I'm certain all our staff and patients will share the same sentiment as we wish her all the best for a bright, successful, EXCITING future!

It's summer and time to think local. We found another hidden gem in Carstairs - The Farm Table Local Market. Where else can you find A2 protein milk (which is much easier to digest for many people), Rendered Lard Premium Cooking Oil (very heat stable), local free range meats including bison, fresh fruits and rustic home decor all in one spot! Stop by and eat one of their delicious ice creams an enjoy the quaintness of a small country town. We all love traveling to BC but this is so much closer!!

06/18/2020

Remember this place?! We are open for MASSAGE again! Thank-you everyone for waiting so long. Please book online at our website: Mountain Health Team (or call us for an appointment if we have a receptionist available-if we don't please leave a message).

The Massage Associations have recommended you wear a mask and you are welcome to bring your own. We are following the COVID-19 recommended protective protocols to keep you safe.

06/15/2020

Hello everyone. We are almost ready to get massage open and will be taking appointments very soon. As you can see there have been some changes but the only surprise is that Dr. Mountain lost his beard!

05/06/2020

Hello Everyone,

We are opening again! Thank-you so much to everyone who has waited so patiently. Our supply of required Personal Protective Equipment is low right now so we are seeing patients who are on our waitlist for specific concerns first.

We are still primarily offering phone appointments but we will be booking more in-person appointments soon and looking forward to seeing more of you even if it is behind a mask.

Hang-in there for those waiting on Massage, hopefully Stage 2 will open up soon.

Hi everyone,

Please watch Dr. Mountain's latest YouTube video:

Or read on...

It’s Saturday April 18th and it seems like we’ve waited forever for spring to arrive! The other thing we are still waiting for is for life to get back to normal...

For many of you, including us here at Mountain Health Team, life has likely changed a lot right now. Our philosophy has not changed though, we're still here to help you feel better!
In case you were not aware, both myself and Dr. Porisky are providing phone call appointments with current patients to ensure your healthcare remains uninterrupted. You can also continue to purchase supplements from the clinic during this time.

Our highest priority is to keep all of our patients safe and in good health. Including you.

Many of our patients are noticing that life goes on and health issues not related to COVID-19 still continue to happen. Or, pre-existing medical conditions still need care and with stress can become worse if not treated. Remember, we are here to help and take some of the stress and worry out of your day.
We will continue to closely monitor events in our local community and update our protocols as needed. And, we look forward to being able to offer in-patient appointments again. For those of you who get acupuncture, IV therapy, nebulizing treatments, adjustments, vitamin shots as well as massage offered by our massage therapists, hang in there, this won’t last forever…

We’ve been in Airdrie for nearly 10 years now and we really appreciate the trust you place in us. While the way we conduct appointments has temporarily changed, our priorities have not. We’re here to help you feel better!

On my drive to the clinic this morning I could see how sad these two Canadians were that the drive-through was not open...good social distancing though!!

03/28/2020

That's been a long week! Hang in there everyone... We are still here for phone appointments so give us a call. Also, if you need a supplement we can do over the phone payment and arrange pick-up or drop off.

Use our Radon Detector for Free!

Recently the Government of Canada sent out this brochure encouraging people to order a 3 month radon test kit. As it mentions, Radon gas is the #1 cause of lung cancer in non-smokers. Keep in mind that Radon is significantly higher in the winter months due to pressure changes in your house and snow/moisture in the ground around your house that restricts its escape.

We have used this Corentium Radon tester frequently for the last several years. The numbers shown are from our basement in February (there will be lower numbers on your main floor but I was curious to see how much higher the basement was). In my experience, 1 week of Radon testing in the winter will tell you the highest numbers your house will have over the year.

The next time you are at our Clinic for a Massage or Naturopathic appointment, you can ask us to use the Digital Radon Monitor for a week for FREE. First come first serve! If it's in use then we can put your name on a waiting list because we only have one detector.

02/11/2020

Family Day weekend is coming! We have several available Massage appointments and some Naturopathic times before the weekend. Just in time to help start your weekend of right!! Please give us a call today or you can book online if you prefer for Massage.

We finally made it to The Light Cellar! What a cool place! A shop full of super foods, complete with a small cafe full of interesting treats and a cooking kitchen where people can come to different classes. Janice really wants to try a chocolate making class! You can find them in Bowness, Calgary right near Bow Cycle. If you haven't been, it's a great destination to try in 2020!!
