FAQ

What should I wear for my massage therapy appointment?

It is recommended that you wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing to your massage therapy appointment. You may be asked to undress to your comfort level, but your therapist will provide a sheet or blanket to ensure your privacy and modesty.

How often should I schedule a massage therapy appointment?

The frequency of your massage therapy appointments will depend on your individual needs and goals. Your therapist may recommend a schedule based on the severity of your condition, the progress you are making, and your overall health and wellness goals.

Is massage therapy covered by insurance?

Many insurance plans cover massage therapy, but it is important to check with your provider to determine your specific coverage. At Proxima Health Care Services, we can provide you with a receipt that you can submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement.

What should I expect during my first massage therapy appointment?

During your initial appointment, your therapist will conduct a thorough assessment of your medical history and current physical condition to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for you. They may ask you questions about your symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle habits. You will then receive a massage tailored to your individual needs.

Is massage therapy painful?

Massage therapy should not be painful, although some discomfort or soreness may be experienced during or after the session. Your therapist will work with you to ensure that the pressure and techniques used are within your comfort level. If at any point during the session you feel uncomfortable, you should let your therapist know immediately.

How does acupuncture work?

Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points on the body with thin, sterile needles. This stimulation is thought to activate the body’s natural healing mechanisms, promoting circulation, reducing inflammation, and releasing pain-relieving chemicals in the brain.

Is acupuncture safe?

Yes, acupuncture is generally considered safe when performed by a qualified and licensed acupuncturist. The risk of serious side effects is low, and the most common side effects are mild and temporary, such as soreness or bruising at the site of the needle insertion.

How many acupuncture sessions are needed to see results?

The number of acupuncture sessions needed varies depending on the individual and their condition. Some people may see improvement after just one session, while others may require several sessions over a period of weeks or months to see significant improvement.

  A talented healer!   I have been fortunate to have found Dr Oliver Vimard a few years ago. As a very active person he has helped to adjust, advise and heal my body, so I can live my best life!   I would encourage anyone who needs the services of a Chiropractor (and so much more) to contact Oliver and Proxima Rehab & Performance.  Thank you Oliver for all you continue to do for me!

  I have had neck and shoulder pain for quite some time. I made an appointment to see Dr.Oliver for a re-alignment. From the very beginning i felt comfortable, he took his time to pin point the problem. He explained what was going on and what he was planning on doing. Some chiropractors take only 2-5 mins. But Dr. Oliver really takes his time to massage and re-align your problem areas. After two visits my pain was almost gone. For sure I recommend to anyone having joint pain. Dr. Oliver knows what he’s doing

  Oliver is the best chiropractor!!!

He is NOT your typical chiropractor who will spend 5 minutes adjusting you and ask you to come weekly.

He will spend the full 20+ minutes on your working on your issues. You have to be OK with a little bit of (good) Pain because he will really dig into joints and muscles that he needs to work on to help you with your problem areas.

  I have been seeing Dr. Vimard for 7 years for various injuries (back, sciatica, shoulders, knee, ground, hamstrings) and after a few sessions (sometimes just one) I’m back to normal. He is professional, knowledgeable, friendly and will provide you the best treatment plan.

  I'm 59 yrs old and a golfer. I have this pain on my right hip for the last few years and I already saw before a physiotherapist, an accupunturist and 2 chiropractors and there was no improvement with my hip pain.Then a friend recommended to see Oliver Vimard, chiropractor at Proxima Rehab and after only 4 sessions of adjustments and stretching exercises, I have noticed significant improvement with my right hip mobility. The pain is not as much as it used to be and I even wake up without feeling sore. I would highly recommend people with the same condition to see Oliver. He is really a good chiropractor!
