2024 in Review: A Year of Growth and Empowerment at Move RX Performance & Wellness
As we near the end of 2024, it’s the perfect time to reflect on what has been an incredible journey for us at Move RX Performance & Wellness. I’m Dr. Chris Col, the proud owner of this clinic, and I am thrilled to share the milestones, lessons, and achievements we’ve experienced this year. It’s been a year of growth, transformation, and empowerment—not just for our business but, more importantly, for the amazing community we’ve had the privilege of serving.
Reflecting on Our Mission
At the start of this year, we set out with a clear mission: to empower others to take control of their health, find strength in their bodies, and live vibrant, active lives. Through the services we offer, including chiropractic care, rehab & mobility coaching, massage therapy, shockwave therapy, traditional chinese medicine and acupuncture, manual osteopathy, kinesiology, we have remained committed to this vision.
As a female healthcare provider and business owner, I understand the unique challenges women face at every stage of life. Whether it’s navigating the physical demands of pregnancy, recovering postpartum, managing stress, or maintaining wellness through the aging process, I’ve worked hand-in-hand with my patients to address their needs and help them thrive.
Key Milestones and Achievements in 2024
This year has been full of exciting developments. Here are some of the most impactful highlights:
1. Expansion of Our Services
One of the most exciting changes this year was the expansion of our services. We introduced traditional chinese medicine & acupuncture,, which has quickly become a favorite among our patients. This addition allows us to provide even more comprehensive care for everyone at every stage of life.
2. Welcoming New Team Members
We were thrilled to expand our team this year, bringing on board talented new practitioners and support staff who share our passion for women's health. Our new team members have brought fresh perspectives, new energy, and a deeper level of expertise to the clinic.
3. Client Success Stories
We’ve seen so many inspiring transformations this year. One of the most rewarding aspects of my work is watching women take control of their health, overcome challenges, and come out stronger on the other side. From helping moms return to sport postpartum to guiding women through chronic pain management, the success stories of our clients have fueled our passion for what we do.
A few of these success stories include patients competing at the Masters World Weightlifting Championships in Finland, competing the Berlin and Tokyo Marathon, competing and crushing it on the bodybuilding stage, some Master Powerlifters crushing some insane PRs and breaking some records on the World stage.
To have the privilege to be a part of their journey’s is something that I am incredibly grateful for.
4. Community Involvement
We were proud to take part in several community events this year, including Kelowna Strongman Competition, BC Strongman Provincials Competition, Apple Series Marathon, Okanagan Mom’s Event, Gallagher’s Ladies Night, Kelowna Chamber of Commerce Golf Tournament, Mamas for Mamas Golf Tournament at Harvest Golf Club, . Giving back to our local community and connecting with other women-focused businesses and organizations has been such a fulfilling part of our journey.
We were also able to raise $500 for Paws It Forward with our many workshops throughout the year. Next year we will be raising money for Boys and Girls Club Okanagan! https://www.bgco.ca/
It is also with great excitement that I get to announce that we have partnered with Mamas for Mamas Kelowna and have created an Extended Health Care Program for those families in need.
5. Growth of Our Online Presence
Our digital footprint has grown significantly this year! We revamped our website, increased our social media engagement, and launched new online resources to make it easier for anyone to access expert health advice. Remember to check out our website for FREE RESOURCES and as well as our REHAB PROGRAMS!
Lessons Learned
Running a business is always a learning experience, and 2024 was no exception. Here are a few key lessons I’ve taken to heart:
The Importance of Adaptability: The healthcare landscape is always evolving, and this year we learned the value of staying adaptable, whether it was adjusting our services to better meet the needs of our patients or navigating the challenges of an ever-changing healthcare industry.
The Power of Community: I’ve always believed in the importance of building a strong community, and this year reaffirmed that belief. From our incredible team to our supportive clients, the connections we’ve built continue to drive us forward.
Self-Care for Business Owners: As a healthcare provider and business owner, I’ve learned that self-care is non-negotiable. Taking time to focus on my own health and wellness has made me a better leader and caregiver. I encourage everyone we serve to prioritize their health, and I’m committed to leading by example.
What’s Next for Move RX in 2025!
Looking ahead, I’m incredibly excited for what [next year] has in store. Here’s what you can expect from us:
New Programs: We’ll be launching new hybrid services to further support those in our community and more in achieving their health and wellness goals. Providing in person and virtual support is a very exciting adventure and a way to progress my practice forward.
New Services: We are extremely excited to finally offer PHYSIOTHERAPY & IMS starting January 2025!
More Client Success Stories: Our goal is to continue empowering as many women as possible. We’ll be rolling out more patient success stories and testimonials to inspire others on their health journey.
Expanding Our Team: We plan to bring on more dedicated professionals to join our growing clinic and continue providing the highest level of care to our community.
Educational Workshops and Events: We’ll be offering more opportunities for education and empowerment, including workshops, community events, and webinars.
