The goal of any health centre or clinic is to provide treatment for pain while maintaining function. At Endurance on 8th Health Centre we manage pain due to variety of reasons including nerve entrapment, disc bulge, sports related injuries, arthritis, sciatica, complex regional pain syndrome, fibromyalgia, different types of headaches, and muscular or nerve damages.
Feel tired for no reason? You may have chronic fatigue syndrome. Chronic fatigue syndrome is real. It is when you feel tired all of the time, you don't feel refreshed when you wake up and your doctors cannot find any other reason for your feeling tired. Chronic fatigue syndrome is most common in women who are between 30 and 50.
Headache is a common symptom of many conditions. If you experience significant headache pain, migraines, or recurring headaches, we may be able to relieve your pain and improve your quality of life. About half to three quarters of adults aged 18-65 years in the world have had headache in the last year and, among those individuals, 30% or more have reported migraine (World Health Organization).
Fibromyalgia syndrome (FM) is a disease where you hurt all over the body. It is really a collection of problems, including FM pain, problems sleeping, chronic fatigue syndrome, problems like irritable bowel syndrome and difficulty concentrating. It used to be diagnosed using FM trigger points in the body defined by the American College of Rheumatology.

I hired Dr. Ashby to rehabilitate a chronic shoulder injury I had been dealing with for over 3 years. He is extremely knowledgeable and is able to explain complex body systems in a way that the average layperson is able to understand easily. Using his app made the fact that we're in different cities no problem - he uploaded my workouts
and offered communication directly through the app.
After 3 short months of adhering to his program, I was able to get back to the weight I was lifting (dumbbell bench press) before injury WITHOUT PAIN!

As an avid long distance mountain runner I put my body through a lot of strain. Dr Kevin Ashby has done an amazing job of keeping me healthy and getting me back on the trails quickly when I have an injury which requires rest. Not only does Dr Ashby enable me to get better quickly, but he makes sure that I leave the clinic with the knowledge I need to strengthen my joints/muscles so that I can avoid a repeat injury.

I started working with Wendy from Endurance Health over a year ago, and the results and support have been nothing but the best. I first went to Endurance Health looking for support for nutrition and a healthier overall body composition after training for a few shows previously and not getting the results I wanted, and also not getting the proper nutrition support which led to me having an unhealthy relationship with food and a negative self image. After working with Wendy over the past year I finally have the balance between my social life and my fitness goals. I have sent many friends and family

I have been a member with Dr Kevin and Dr Wendy for the past month. Since 2015 when I decided to try my first ever fitness show, I had worked with several food coaches, trainers, chiropractors, massage therapists, naturopahs and more. Whereas each of them had their own strengths, I can honestly say that Dr. Kevin and Dr. Wendy shine high above the pack. With both doctors, you not only have access to chiropractic sessions, but you also have two professional, energetic, down to earth and EXTREMELY knowledgable athletes who have experience with meal prep, competitions, reverse dieting, personal training

I have been doing weight training for many years. And the more work out the more sports injuries I have had. So, I need to find somebody who can fix my injuries and also gives me a guide to the safe way training my body. Thankfully Dr. Kevin is giving me the guide now. All those tips he gives me are very useful and effective. I can not wait to get more!
If you have problem on your body after work out but don't want to give up what you are doing then this clinic will help you. Never give up!

The staff at Endurance on 8th are phenomenal. No matter what your goals are, Kevin, Wendy and the team will help you reach them. They care passionately about their patients and clients. Kevin and Wendy have helped me prepare for two fitness competitions (if I can do it, anyone can!) and now I am working towards my third. I am in my mid 40s, and in the best shape of my life thanks in part to them.

Dr. Kevin Ashby and Dr. Wendy Carvalho-Ashby have been the force behind the most profoundly positive changes in my life! They are so passionate about holistic health and wellness, and about taking care of every aspect of your well-being - while at the same time, completely fostering and caring for high-level athletes. This is a balance you just don't get in most health or fitness practitioners. They lead by example, guide with professional knowledge and skill, and encourage with genuine care and concern. Their clinic is so much more than chiropractor or physio care, it's about natural health, wellness

My experience at Endurance On 8th has been incredible. Dr. Glen has freed me of upper back pain with dry needling and professional chiropractic work. The staff is professional, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. I recommend anyone who needs help improving their health and wellness to see the staff at Endurance :) Thank you!

My experience with endurance has been life changing to say the least. Through Dr Ashbys nutrition plan and encouraging guidance, I've lost 25 lbs in 8 weeks. My workouts have been getting stronger as well. I lift more weight, run faster and am swimming stronger than I ever have before. Even after 2 full iron triathlons I could not achieve the level of fitness I have begun experiencing now. Dr Kevin Ashby really has shown me the key elements missing in my fitness plan and I certainly am keen to keep going and finding out what body's full potential is!
