In the charming town of Squamish, a group of dedicated local health practitioners is uniting to offer a community wellness day on May 4, where services such as chiropractic care, physiotherapy, and acupuncture will be available for a donation. Fall Line Fitness is hosting this collaborative event alongside Anchor Wellness, Groms Physio + Co, Seed Studio, Summit Mobile Physio, and Ccerlii Chow Acupuncture.
“Essentially it’s a day where practitioners donate their time and offer their services,” said Emilie Whittemore, co-owner of Fall Line Fitness. The sessions will last between 30 and 45 minutes and aim to raise funds for the Squamish Search and Rescue. Suggested donations include $40 for a 30-minute physiotherapy, massage, or acupuncture session, and $50 for a 60-minute session.
Inspired by the ongoing community sessions at Anchor Wellness, the initiative seeks to provide access to healthcare for those in need. Whittemore expressed enthusiasm for the bi-annual event, which aims to create a more substantial donation pool for local non-profits. “Every time we have a community day, we chat about what’s relevant; with spring approaching, it’s a great time to support Squamish Search and Rescue.”
This event is open to everyone, not just those who may struggle affording regular treatments. Whittemore reassures the community, stating, “It’s kind of a win-win situation really for everyone.” To participate, individuals can visit the websites of the participating practitioners or go to the Anchor Health and Wellness website for more details.
