I know IV Therapy is something I need to be doing consistently as it is supporting my immune system to help me cope with my stress level. Thank you Total Vitality Centre for being there supporting me along the way.
with Total Vitality Centre, for almost three years. Nowadays, my skin looks very healthy, hydrated and glowy. I strongly recommend Glutathione IV treatment to my closest friends and they truly liked the improvements and they noticed a difference after the first treatment.
I have received from Dr. Helen Tong. I started my package of 6 treatments and have already completed five sessions. I initially wanted to reduce the forehead wrinkles as they were deepening. Not only have I noticed a significant improvement in my “11”s but my overall face beams. My pores have reduced, my acne has settled down, my complexion and skin tone is even.
I didn’t know the extent of the kinds of questions and other things he does during that time he can create a specific protocol to help me deal with some of my underlying issues. I am grateful and would definitely refer others to him. He is caring, kind, and willing to go the extra mile for you. Oh by the way, I love the salt treatment room. It is unbelievable.
I was looking for relief and healing for my long term chronic body pain when I found Dr. Tong's "Perfect Day Consult". If you are ready to take massive personal action, then this is the consult for you. Dr. Tong's knowledge and supportive care will help you get on the right track to recovery and physical vitality.
I’ve studied healing modalities for over 30 years and understand the philosophies associated with the Wolfe Non-surgical Bodywork. This bodywork removes blockages due to displaced calcium, calcification and scar tissue. I am thrilled to have pain relief, increased flexibility and movement in that hip after only one treatment. Thank you!
Wolf Non-Surgical & the body work that Dr. Keith Tong offers is not like anything else out there, to avoid going under the knife, and to avoid surgery is pretty amazing in itself. I started getting a lot of issues after my second car accident in 2018 ... constant cracking and tightness in my upper shoulders for the past 3 years. Once I started receiving treatments, I was able to have less tightness and more mobility. It took roughly 4 sessions before I was able to get my full mobility back with no more pain.
