Montreal Marathon

Last weekend, we were at the Montreal Marathon to greet the participants at the finish line and offer them free care. Whether a runner needed some ice, a treatment, a massage, a stretch or some advice, we were happy to be there for them.

We are proud to be a part of inspiring sporting events such as this one. Congratulations to all the athletes and we look forward to seeing you next year!
