Active Solutions Health + Sport will expand to a new location at Frank Jameson Community Centre (FJCC) later this summer after reaching a partnership with the town.

The multidisciplinary health clinic at the corner of First Avenue and Roberts Street offers chiropractic, physiotherapy, naturopathic medicine, massage therapy and acupuncture.

Active Solutions’ steady growth since opening in Ladysmith in May 2015 has contributed to the need for expansion.

The 800 sq-ft lease space at the community centre became available at the end of April and it’s expected the new clinic will be ready to open after Labour Day.

“One of the issues that patients have difficulty with is making the transition from one-on-one rehabilitation to an active community setting,” said owner and physiotherapist Rich Huggins.

“We believe that our new space at the Frank Jameson Community Centre will allow us to assist more patients with the transition to an active community setting with greater ease.”

FJCC is the hub of Ladysmith’s recreation programming, boasting a four lane 25-metre pool, fitness centre and gymnasium.

The town’s 2016 Parks, Recreation and Culture Master Plan sets out the community’s goal of expanding offerings at fitness facility.

A public-private partnership was presented by staff as a way to optimize the space to the benefit of residents.

“We are delighted to welcome such an innovative business to FJCC,” said city manager Guillermo Ferrero.

“The new clinic will respond to our community’s demand for integrated healthcare services, while restructuring of the previous lease space will allow the town to expand and improve the fitness facilities in order to accommodate our residents’ healthy, active lifestyles.”
