The snow is falling, which means for many of us that the common cold & flu are knocking at our door. Some of us may have already fallen victim to their cruel ways– but this doesn’t have to be the case! Canmore is a mecca for health and wellness practitioners, and the variety of treatment options available is outstanding!
Let’s start off with taking care of your body. Did you know that stretching should be an integral routine in your daily life? No matter how active you are– if you sit all day or are a more active individual– you need to stretch out your muscles and give them a little bit more attention. Places you can get this done? Head to one of the amazing yoga classes offered around Canmore: Canmore Hot Yoga, The Yoga Lounge, Wildheart, or one of Cyan’s classes. Looking for something a little more invigorating? Check out a class at Studio b or Embody Pilates.
If you are looking for something a little more passive, there are so many great massage therapists, acupuncturists, and chiropractors around town that can help you get a little bit of R&R like Etana Wellness, Wildflower Massage, Mindful Massage, Canmore Health and Wellness, Verde Spa, Rocky Mountain Rehab and many more.
A rested mind leads to a rested body– treat yourself to a deprivation meditation session at FLOAT- Canmore. You won’t regret it! Turn off your mind and let your body and soul relax for just a little while; you’ll be glad you did! You can also check out Rexall Drug Store for a great selection of Homeopathic support for good immune health and wellness information.
Don’t forget to nourish your body in effort to keep the sickness at bay: head to Toniq Bar or Mountain Juice Cafe for a delicious immune boosting elixir, take yourself out for lunch and wane on the healthy side with something from Communitea or Goodearth Coffee Co, or warm up with a hearty bowl of soup from one of the many restaurants downtown like Murrieta’s, Half Hitch, Harvest, The Range or JK Bakery.
Let’s not forget about the exciting Health and Wellness Festival that is coming to Canmore in a week or so; THRIVE! You’ve heard the buzz around town, seen the posters, and been handed the rack cards. If you are looking for a fun weekend in October join Canmore in celebrating the Bow Valley’s Health and Wellness Community at Thrive!

Last but not least, let’s not forget the more furry members of your family. If you think your four-legged friend could use a boost just like you do, head to the Mut Hut Emporium and treat them to a day at the Spaw. They won’t be disappointed!
