Testimonials

If I could give a few sets of 5 stars I would, I've been getting treated by Jen for several years now, and it has changed my life around. Going from doctors, chiro and some massage therapists all telling me they didn't know what was going on. Saw Jen and immediately came to a solid conclusion and devised a treatment plan that has worked. Got me off of all my pain meds and now to the point of just managing my symptoms.

Vittorio C.

I had an exceptional experience at the new Stride Physiotherapy clinic! Blake and Jen are friendly and welcoming. What a beautiful space in such a great location! Blake was so helpful in getting rid of some aches and pains that have been slowing me down from doing the activities and racing that I love to do! I feel i can trust them to keep my body working in optimal condition.

Linzee K.

Professional, cozy, clean, and modern clinic! I like that the treatment rooms were more private than most other clinics I have been to. Jen and Blake are knowledgeable and motivated to give you the best treatment to meet your personal goals. Booking is so easy online, I would highly recommend this place!

Jessica C.

I’ve visited them for a few injuries/aches and pains. The appointments have helped immensely to get me moving the way I want to and continue to live an active lifestyle. They have also helped me to be proactive by recommending some maintenance to do at home to prevent the same issues from happening again. Super friendly and helpful staff!

Blair C.

Stride's new physiotherapy facility is an exciting opportunity for the community to get access to top notch health care! Adding a facility with experienced professionals is always a plus for patients, reducing wait times for treatment - not to mention the updated equipment and services offered.

Registered DietitianWhat is a Registered Dietitian? Registered Dietitians are your trusted experts in nutrition! In Alberta, you may come across titles such as Registered Dietitian, Dietitian, Registered Nutritionist, Nutritionist, or RD.

What do sessions look like?

FREE Discovery Call
Wondering how a Registered Dietitian can assist you in achieving your nutrition and health objectives? Schedule a complimentary 15-minute Discovery Call with Jessica to explore how she can guide and support you on your path to better nutrition. This session is your chance to ask any questions and discuss nutrition topics tailored to your specific health goals. Please note: Clients wishing to book an Initial Nutrition Assessment must first complete a Discovery Call. This step allows us to address your primary nutrition concerns and ensure you benefit fully from your initial assessment. No personalized nutrition advice will be given during the Discovery Call.
Initial Nutrition Assessment
The initial assessment is your first meeting with your Dietitian and serves as a chance for you and Jessica to build a connection. In this session, Jessica will assess your key nutrition and health needs by exploring your medical and mental health history, food habits, relationship with food and exercise, and any other important details. This assessment lays the groundwork for understanding your nutritional needs and helps Jessica collaborate with you to design a personalized plan. By the end of the session, you'll create SMART goals, a planned schedule for follow-up appointments, and resources to help you take the first steps toward achieving those goals.
Nutrition Follow-up Sessions
Follow-up sessions play a key role in helping you develop lasting, healthy habits to support your nutrition goals. These sessions focus on providing most of the nutrition education, conducting nutritional analyses, and creating a tailored food and nutrition plan that fits your needs. You'll leave each session with clear guidance, accountability, and additional resources. The number and frequency of follow-up sessions will be based on the personalized plan designed in collaboration with your Registered Dietitian.

Our Dietitian uses Non-Diet and Weight Neutral Approaches

What does this mean for you? It means that during appointments, weight measurements and numbers are not the focus. Instead, the emphasis is on meaningful behavior changes and other positive indicators that support your unique nutrition goals. Jessica works with the foods you enjoy (and considers those you don't) to help create a sustainable, satisfying plan tailored to your needs.

She can also support you in starting or continuing your journey with Mindful Eating or Intuitive Eating.

Nutrition topics that Jessica Eddy, RD can help you navigate:
