Meet the Team

We empower families and individuals towards optimal health.

Dr. Dave Blocksom

I was born and raised in Hanna Alberta. In 2010, I graduated from Texas Chiropractic College in Houston Texas and have been practicing in Red Deer ever since. Experiencing medical rotations in upper extremity orthopedics, neurosurgery, nutrition and learning from the experience of numerous chiropractors has enabled a unique perspective to accelerate patient healing. I have a passion to treat individuals and families in the community with chiropractic, I am continually taking courses every year to further my knowledge. In 2016 I completed my Acupuncture studies to further help my patients. My goal is to empower patients towards optimal health. When I am not working I enjoy spending time with my wife and three boys.

I also have a chiropractic clinic in the great community of Trochu.

Stacy Himech – RMT – PBMT

My name is Stacy and I live just outside of Bowden with my family. My extended members of the family include 2 cats, 5 dogs and 6 horses! I graduated with full Honors from MH Vicars School of Massage Therapy in 2017. I started working as an associate MT in 2016 and taking continuing education courses as well. Since graduating I have continued taking continuing ED in RAPID NFR, Myofascial Cupping and PBMT (Photobiomodulation). I ran my own successful practice from 2017 to 2023 in Crossfield. In 2021 I met the man of my wildest dreams from Red Deer, which is what brought me to Bowden… nothing like meeting half-way. I am a level 3 Core Specialist in RAPID, have my Advanced Myofascial cupping certification and am working on the advanced certification in PBMT, Level 4 RAPID coming soon! My treatments focus on biomechanics and compensatory patterns caused by musculoskeletal dysfunction and trauma (physical and mental). I feel that I am best suited to assist those who are wanting a more therapeutic and deep tissue treatment but I don’t mind doing a relaxation treatment here and there. In 2019 I started researching PBMT… it actually blew my mind on the clinical effects it has on so many different ailments, not just for humans but animals as well. It is simply amazing and I can not express the extraordinary results that PBMT can produce! My system is the Bioflex Duo Professional (One of the leading 3B Laser manufacturers in the world). It is a class 3B laser which uses red light and near infrared. There are virtually no side effects, it is non-invasive, and has very few contraindications. I am very excited to offer this service to Innisfail and the surrounding area!

Chelsey Dobbyn RMT

I first became a Registered Massage Therapist in 2005 and have loved all massage has had to offer. I believe body work can have such an impact on clients both mentally and physically. Over the years I have worked in both Spa and Massage Clinic settings but never a Chiropractic Clinic. I am very much looking forward to all there is to learn from this new atmosphere. Modalities that work well together being offered under the same roof makes sense and couldn’t be more convenient for clients.

When I am not massaging, I am usually staying busy with my family. We are all horse crazy so most of the time we are out horse back riding!

Treatments I offer are relaxation, therapeutic, prenatal and dynamic cupping massage.

Tracy Hadley RMT

Tracy Hadley graduated from the Alberta Institute of Massage in 2013. With over 12 years of experience she has many techniques and modalities to draw from in treating her clients. She has also pursued advanced training in the treatment of the lower body for Plantar Fasciitis, Lateral Knee Pain and SI joint pain. She is also trained in hot stone treatment such as jade, soapstone, Himalayan salt, basalt and cold marble stone. Graston and Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization technique addresses issues such as chronic muscle soreness, scar tissue for sports enthusiasts, athletes and previous injuries. Tracy has received comprehensive cupping instruction for myofascial release and trigger point therapy using silicone, kangzhu and haci magnetic cups. Rattan massage can be a useful tool for blood flow, circulation, and deeper tissue therapy which can be heated or cooled for addressing adhesions and trigger points and it feels better than a pointy elbow. Joint mobilizations are useful to help joint stiffness, mobility and range of motion for the joints. Tracy has been trained in bioflex laser treatments which help reduce pain, inflammation, produce new cells and create neuropathways beyond deeper layers to create more in depth healing and reduce delayed onset muscle soreness. Tracy’s interests outside of work are hiking, acrylic painting, animation and travel.
