Meet Bryna Abtan, Office Manager/Registered Massage Therapist
As the second part of our husband and wife team, Dr. Abtan and I have been working together for over 10 years. I truly dedicate my time and energy to ensure our clinic is a compassionate, caring and healing environment for our patients, staff and associates alike. My goal is to ensure that we have created a warm and friendly family atmosphere where your health and well-being is the number one priority. All of our staff and associates were carefully chosen by myself to provide our patients with the highest quality of care.
Aside from managing the practice at CHCG, I have run a successful practice as a Registered Massage Therapist for over 17 years. I have worked with chronic pain and rehabilitation specialists, chiropractors, physiotherapists and have a special interest in prenatal and postnatal (pregnancy) massage and women's health issues.
Health & Wellness is not just our business, it's our lifestyle. We strongly believe in putting words into action and our four wonderful children are great motivators.
Your health is my priority.

Sheera is a registered massage therapist and has been with the Corrective Healthcare team since 2006. She was a medical assistant in the Canadian forces for six years in addition to studying Kinesiology. Her training and experience has given her a vast knowledge of structural anatomy, orthopedic assessments, pathologies, remedial exercises and hydrotherapy.
“While my background and experience permits me to find the areas that need attention, the best part of my job is making a real connection with patients.”
Sheera enjoys treating a variety of conditions using Swedish massage, deep tissue, trigger-point therapy, joint mobilizations and myofascial release. When combined with today’s safe and natural chiropractic care, it’s an unbeatable combination.
