Kootenay Columbia College launches winter wellness initiative

Experience relaxation, rejuvenation, and comprehensive wellness with professional-quality treatments by skilled students

Kootenay Columbia College has announced that their Massage Therapy and Traditional Chinese Medicine student clinics are now taking bookings for the winter term. From January to April, community members can schedule relaxation and therapeutic massages at our student massage clinic on the Rosemont campus. During this same period, ear acupuncture sessions and tui-na massage will also be available at our Baker Street Traditional Chinese Medicine student clinic.

Since the early 2000s, Kootenay Columbia College has been offering Traditional Chinese Medicine student clinics to the region, and in 2017, KCC proudly expanded its offerings to include massage therapy clinics. These clinics provide significant benefits to the local community by offering affordable care options for individuals who may not have access to comprehensive benefits plans or who are managing tight budgets after the holiday season.

As the cold and dark season sets in, prioritizing self-care becomes more important than ever. Massage and acupuncture can help improve sleep quality, reduce muscle tension, enhance circulation, lower stress and anxiety levels, and support the management of winter blues.

Both clinics are staffed by skilled students under the supervision of registered professionals, ensuring a high standard of quality and care.

“It gives us great pride to help the community share the health benefits that our students gain over the years,” said Keshav Singla, President of Kootenay Columbia College.

“Every term we have unique clinic offerings, and we are excited to share them with the people of the Kootenays.”

The winter clinics will run from January to April. To book an appointment at either clinic, please visit KootenayColumbiaCollege.Janeapp.com.
