We are excited to welcome Registered Physiotherapist Aleks Thornton to the team at Madrona Integrative Health!

We are thrilled to expand our physiotherapy services with a practitioner whose work thoughtfully bridges persistent pain care, nervous system regulation, and whole-body rehabilitation.

Aleks brings a grounded, collaborative approach to physiotherapy that aligns deeply with Madrona’s interdisciplinary and holistic model of care. His work emphasizes understanding the body as an interconnected system, while helping patients move toward greater resilience, stability, and ease in their daily lives. We are grateful to have him joining our team and look forward to the care he will bring to the community.

🙋🏻‍♂️Meet Aleks:

Aleks Thornton is a Registered Physiotherapist whose work focuses on chronic pain, nervous system regulation, and restoring a sense of ease in the body.

His approach blends Gunn Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS), osteopathic-informed manual therapy, and guided movement. Rather than focusing on isolated symptoms, he considers how patterns of tension, breath, and movement are held throughout the body, working to gently shift these patterns toward greater balance, posture and efficiency.

He works with people experiencing a wide range of concerns including persistent musculoskeletal pain, chronic headaches and migraines, digestive issues (IBS, GERD), and complex pelvic or hormonal conditions such as endometriosis and PMDD.

You can read his full bio by following the link in our bio.

Or, have you been through trauma yourself (most of us have!) and are curious to know how we can hold space for that at Madrona Integrative Health?

Beth Whalley, Registered Clinical Counsellor, explains what this phrase means to her and her practice.

“Getting enough sleep is a common struggle for many, especially with all the stress we experience as part of modern life.

More sleep and better-quality sleep cannot only improve your physical health through impacting the immune system, stress hormone production and food cravings, but sleep also has major impacts on your mental health too.”

Happy 💤’s!

Being able to ‘be with’ our big emotions is a skill we can learn. And, often, it takes being with someone who can hold that space for us so we can start learning how to be there for ourselves again.

What do you do when the big feelings come up?
Are you feeling enough support with your emotional wellbeing?

At Madrona we have two counsellors and one psychotherapist available to offer care because we recognize the importance of mental health in overall health and well-being.

Sometimes it can feel daunting to see a therapist and open up, but there are so many benefits when we are held in a loving, supportive container.

Have you tried therapy? Did it help you learn or grow?
