Welcome to Mend Health

Integrative Sports Medicine & Acupuncture in Whistler, BC

At Mend, we take a whole-body approach to pain, performance, and recovery. With over a decade of hands-on clinical experience, we combine the precision of modern sports medicine with the depth of acupuncture and manual therapy to create care that’s both evidence-informed and results-driven.

We specialize in helping active individuals overcome pain, improve function, and return to the activities that make them feel their best — from daily movement to mountain performance.

Every treatment begins with a detailed assessment and a clear plan. Our integrative approach blends the best of orthopedic acupuncture, dry needling, electro-acupuncture, manual therapy, and corrective exercise to restore balance and resilience throughout the body.

Because your body isn’t a set of isolated parts — it’s an interconnected system built to move, adapt, and perform.

Mobility & Strength Assessment

A mix of muscle testing, orthopaedic assessments, range of motion evaluations, and movement analysis to pinpoint the specific muscles that may be restricted or weak, helping us create a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Motor Point Activation

Targets specific points within muscles to reset their function, improving strength and flexibility. This technique is especially useful for pain relief and restoring mobility after injury, making it ideal for athletes and anyone dealing with muscle tension.
Dry Needling

Targeting “trigger points” or tight bands within muscle tissue with an acupuncture technique that will illicit a natural twitch response followed by relaxation of the muscle. Great for those stubborn spots that just won’t release with anything else.
Electroacupuncture

Combines acupuncture with gentle electric currents to boost the effects of treatment. This helps activate muscle tissue, increase circulation, and speed up the body’s natural healing process, making it a powerful tool for recovery.
Traditional Acupuncture

Stimulates nerve receptors in the skin, muscles, and fascia, triggering the release of endorphins and other natural chemicals. This helps to reduce pain, improve circulation, and decrease inflammation, promoting overall healing and well-being.
Manual Therapy

Hands-on therapies to relieve pain and improve movement. Techniques like fascial release, cupping, muscle energy techniques and active release help restore mobility, enhance recovery, and improve treatment outcomes.
Corrective Exersice

Designed to complement your treatments. Simple at home exercises help you maintain your progress and prevent injuries. With minimal equipment needed, and tailored to you, they keep you moving and improving between sessions.
