Steve has been the full time chiropractor at Richmond Chiropractic and Wellness for almost two decades. His educational journey began at the University of Alberta, and included thousands of hours of study in Los Angeles, Sri Lanka, and finally Toronto, where he graduated with clinical honours from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College (CMCC). Further training in Active Release Techniques (ART), Activator Methods Chiropractic Technique(AMCT), nutrition, pediatrics, and rehabilitation continue on a yearly basis and are key components to his patient focussed care.
Through years of hockey, volleyball, running, mountain biking, Steve has personally benefited from a team approach to overcoming injury and has found it to be the quickest and most effective way to return to optimum health and performance. Empowering patients with key exercise and diet recommendations plays a critical role in his care.
Beyond patient care, Steve has a long ongoing relationship with the Calgary Interfaith Food Bank, and now more recently with Inn From The Cold. His volunteer time also extends to youth athletics, where he has been active in coaching soccer, hockey, and most recently community basketball.
Jacqueline Smith graduated from Foothills College of Massage Therapy’s 2200 hour program in 2005 and has since been a member of good standing of NHPC. She worked full time in the industry for 14 years before having her daughter, and is now excited and ready to make the leap back into the chiropractic clinic setting.
Jacqueline tailors her massage based on the individual client’s needs. She is an expert in finding the balance between therapeutic, deep tissue and relaxation methods. Trigger points and myofascial release are neuromuscular techniques that she regularly uses. She believes the body works as a whole, when one area is compromised, the whole unit is compromised. With this wholistic approach, she works to find the true source of the problem.
Over the years Jacqueline has successfully treated both acute and chronic conditions. Her goal is not only to relieve symptoms, but also bring the body back to its optimal condition. Jacqueline truly believes that over time, a successful treatment plan should result in her clients only requiring regular maintenance massages.
When Jacqueline is not chasing her toddler around she loves to hike, snow shoe, and spend as much time as she can outside and in the mountains. Reading and listening to music with a cup of tea is her favorite way to unwind the day.
