Just Eyes Optical has become the newest partner of PT Health, and offers prescription sunglasses and contact lenses as well as offering all designer brands of eyeglass frames to patients. Just Eyes Optical offers patients a guarantee of an hour service on most prescriptions, delivering an added benefit of shorter wait times.

All health care providers are certified contact lens fitters and on-site opticians, and lenses are edged with a state of the art computer edging system. Just Eyes Optical is also a supplier of colour contact lenses, safety frames and lenses, and AO Safety.

Patients can find superior optical solutions by visiting either of their two locations – one located in Chinatown Centre Mall in Toronto (416) 591-7269 and the other at the New Horizon Centre in Markham (905) 480-8800. All vision care and insurance plans are honored at both clinics.

Optometry clinics and Optical shop owners looking to spread the reach of their services are encouraged to consider the advantages of working with PT Health.

Expanding to this new avenue is indeed a source of pride within the PT Health team which aims to be one of the leading integrated health care providers in Canada – with Just Eyes Optical as a new member of the network – this is one step closer to that goal.

Initial estimate of the team’s spirit and passion to help were underestimated when five groups instead of the expected two participated. Moreover, the teams raised a total of $14,735.68 which was almost three times the amount they had hoped to raise. Started with 46 eager participants and ended with 18 persevering individuals for the closing ceremonies, the relay was indeed a success for the PT Health team.

The Relay for Life is an annual event conducted by the Canadian Cancer Society in celebration of the renewed life of those who have survived cancer, in remembrance to the loved ones lost in the battle against cancer, and in empowering people and communities in fighting back cancer. As such, there are three main events carried out in the 12-hour event: the Survivor’s Victory Lap, Luminary Ceremony, and the Fight Back Against Cancer.

Cheering on cancer survivors and their caregivers as they walk the Survivors’ Victory Lap – this is the first lap in the relay. It embodies the truth that cancer survivorship is real and there are many who live to prove it. The next event happens at twilight to remember and give tribute to those who have fought but lost in their battle against cancer. Supporters can purchase a luminary which is then placed along with many others down the length of the track. The closing ceremony aims to encourage everyone to become more proactive in the fight against cancer.

The funds raised from the Relay for Life is employed in different ways in the struggle against cancer including financial support for research and grants, prevention and advocacy initiatives, as well to provide support programs to patients, their families and caregivers.

The PT Health team and the other participants in this year’s event came up with $295,000 but are encouraged to spread the word so that next year will even be a bigger Relay for Life event and even more money can be raised for the cause.

PT Health would like to thank everyone  for their support, passion to help and determination.

Naturopathic Medicine is part of our multidisciplinary approach to wellness and rehabilitation. It is a group of different therapies and treatments which rely on nature’s healing capacity. Treatment approaches include nutrition and proper diet, botanical medicine, and vitamin/mineral support. Other manual therapies Naturopathic Doctors employ to help patients address acute and chronic health issues include acupuncture, wellness counseling, and topical tissue support.

There are six key principles in naturopathic medicine: 1) promote the healing power of nature, 2) first do no harm, 3) treat the whole person, 4) treat the cause, 5) prevention is the best cure, and 6) the physician is a teacher. These principles ensure that you will be given effective natural treatment for your disorders. Some of the most common conditions treated using naturopathic techniques include: arthritis, insomnia, fatigue, mood disorders, depression, high blood pressure, and hormonal imbalances.

Naturopathic doctors from Brant Active, Mountain Physiotherapy, Stoney Creek Physiotherapy and Victoria Community Rehab PT Health Clinics are now available to provide patients with the benefits of naturopathic medicine.  To arrange an appointment call toll free at 866-749-7461.
