Mend Health Co —
Hands-On Healthcare Built for Whistler & Sea To Sky Lifestyles
Located in Function Junction, Mend Health Co. provides Integrative Acupuncture, Dry Needling and RMT treatments for people who want to move well and feel good in their bodies —inside and out.
Acupuncture at Mend Health Co. focuses on pain relief and recovery by looking at the body as a connected system. Treatment is guided by how the body moves and functions, combining assessment, hands-on care, and targeted acupuncture to support both short-term relief and long-term change.
Sessions utilize dry needling, electroacupuncture and traditional acupoints to address the neuromuscular pathways that contribute to the patterns beneath symptoms — supporting both the nervous system and the tissues involved.
Integrative Acupuncture
Registered Massage Therapy at Mend Health Co. is a clinically focused, movement-informed treatment designed to restore function, reduce pain, and support long-term physical resilience.
Sessions integrate hands-on manual therapy with active and passive movement to address how the body’s systems work together. Treatments may support injury recovery, chronic pain management, nervous system regulation, stress reduction, or ongoing maintenance for an active lifestyle.

If something hurts, feels restricted, or keeps coming back — there’s usually a reason. We help you find it.
To put it simply —
If it hurts, we can help.
How We Help —
We treat pain by addressing how your body moves.
Pain rarely exists in isolation. Tissues tighten. Muscles compensate. Joints stiffen. Old injuries linger.
When movement becomes limited, tissues don’t get the circulation, nourishment, and input they need to stay healthy. Over time, this can lead to irritation, sensitivity, and pain — even in areas that weren’t part of the original issue.
Our role is to understand why something hurts — not just where.
Our approach:
1. Assess functional mobility
We listen to your story and assess the strength, mobility, and function to identify what’s contributing to your pain.
2. Treat the right tissues
Treatment focuses on the neuromuscular system — including muscles, connective tissue, joints, and nerve pathways.
3. Reinforce long-term change
Simple movement or lifestyle guidance helps support progress between visits and reduce flare-ups long term.
This is where tools like hands-on soft tissue work, dry needling and electroacupuncture come in — used intentionally, based on what your body needs.

Mobility & Strength Assessment
A mix of muscle testing, orthopedic 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 Acupoints
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.

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.
Movement Matters —
Staying active is one of the strongest predictors of long-term health.
Movement supports far more than muscles and joints. It plays a key role in cardiovascular health, nervous system regulation, bone density, metabolic health, and overall longevity.
At Mend, we believe the biggest impact we can have on your health is helping you stay active — safely, comfortably, and confidently.
Pain often becomes the biggest barrier to movement.
Our role is to help remove that barrier.
When you move better:
you move more
you recover faster
you tolerate stress better
and you’re more likely to stay active as you age
That’s where the real return on investment lives.
