Alex brings a background in active release technique, medical acupuncture, and functional movement to the table.

Alex Angel received his Doctor of Chiropractic degree after graduating from Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College. In addition, Dr. Angel has also become an Active Release Techniques certified provider, and is also certified in western medical acupuncture.

When Alex isn’t helping patients, you might spot him jogging with his dog Loki, trying not to step on Sarah’s toes at Salsa dance classes, or practicing his mad scientist impression while brewing beer at home.

Why are you a Chiropractor?

My best friend was injured in a car crash, and I watched him go from a healthy, athletic guy to a shell of himself. Taking morphine tablets every day, barely able to move, and unable to sleep because of the pain, he had almost lost hope. In desperation, he started seeing a chiropractor.

The change which started with seeing a chiropractor was dramatic - after a few weeks he could sleep through the night, and after a few months he was a new man. Taking him for treatments, I saw patients enter the clinic, moving stiffly, cringing in pain. When they left, I saw the patients smiling and moving easily. I was struck by what I saw there.

I asked the Doctor there about what he does, and he offered me a tour of the Chiropractic College in which he teaches. The rest is history!

Why should I come to see you?

Because I’ll get you the help you need, no matter what’s going on. If you’re suffering from something that hands-on therapy, electrical modalities, acupuncture or rehab exercises can fix, I’ll get you better! If I recognize that you would be better served by some other specialist, I’ll send you to them. I am first and foremost in the service of my patients.

Cassie graduated from the Ontario College of Health & Technology with her Accelerated Massage Therapy diploma and is ready to start her new career as a Registered Massage Therapist. She attended the University of Guelph and earned her Bachelor of Science Honours Major Human Kinetics degree in 2021.

From a young age, Cassie knew she wanted to pursue a career where she could help people feel their best. After being pieced back together by many manual therapists following sports and equestrian injuries, she realized the importance of massage therapists in the rehabilitation journey. Her university experience allowed her to focus in on the science behind human anatomy, physiology, nutrition, exercise and disease prevention. This was an excellent foundation for transitioning into the massage therapy program, where she was then able to combine this with the practical application of massage techniques and rehabilitative exercise therapy. Although she loves helping people reach their rehabilitative goals, she values the importance of relaxation massage for physical and mental well-being.

When Cassie isn’t in the clinic assisting patients, she can be found at the barn spending quality time with her horses, in the forest hiking with her dog or at a Blue Jays game with her friends and family.
