Benefits of Martial Arts 

It's not just for fighting: new research published in 

the British Journal of Sports Medicine shows that 

people who regularly practice martial arts demonstrate 

astounding levels of physical fitness in comparison 

to people the same age who don't exercise 

at all. The study subjects who practiced martial arts 

had 12% less body fat, were able to do twice as 

many sit-ups, had enhanced flexibility and leg 

strength, demonstrated a stronger immune system 

and showed greatly improved balance. 

It's not surprising, of course: martial arts -- even 

mild forms like Tai Chi -- have long been known to 

confer tremendous anti-aging health benefits to 

their followers. These people have better aerobic 

conditioning, balance, strength, flexibility and coordination 

than many typical Americans in their 30's 

who are already suffering from chronic diseases 

like diabetes, obesity and cancer. As a result, they 

live longer, healthier, happier lives.

Phone: 604.430.1525 

Hi, my name is Dr. Kristen Brown. I am a naturopathic physician who practices holistic family medicine and I feel passionate 

about helping my patients achieve a vibrant state of health! 

I am a Greenshield provider and my services are covered for all full-time Douglas College students. My practice offers general 

family healthcare and is guided by the principles of naturopathic medicine. I choose to seek out the underlying cause of 

imbalance and practice “whole-person” healthcare. As a licensed naturopathic physician, I treat patients with concerns both 

acute and chronic in nature. 

A few examples of commonly treated health concerns include: 

• Headaches, depression, allergies, fatigue, insomnia and anxiety. 

• Hormonal imbalance, PMS, women’s health issues, infertility, digestive problems, skin conditions, asthma & arthritis. 

• Weight gain, autoimmune disease, fibromyalgia, arthritis, heart disease, and diabetes. 

• Colds and flu, ear and throat infections, joint and muscle pain, fevers and sport/athletic injuries. 

• Stress management protocols, exercise prescription, weight loss protocols are also available. 

In practice, I use medicines and therapeutics that enhance the body’s self-healing process, and they include: 

• Clinical nutrition, homeopathy, botanical medicine preparations, counseling, and physical medicine. 

• Specific programs for stress management, weight loss, detoxification and cleansing, exercise prescription, immune 

support, childhood nutrition, healthy pregnancy, nutrition for athletes and pre and post-surgery protocols. 

I obtained my undergraduate degree in physical education before completing my 4-year naturopathic medical training at Bastyr University in Seattle. 

Fees: Free for students with Greenshield coverage. Greenshield student health plan covers fees for 6-8 visits for full time students.

Technique

If you are suffering from muscular pain and stiffness due to trauma, repetitive stress, or just poor posture, Active Release 

Technique (A.R.T.) can be the solution for you. 

HOW DOES A.R.T. WORK? 

Trauma, overtraining and repetitive stress can all lead to undesirable changes within muscles. These changes include a 

build up of adhesions, scar tissue, and fibrosis, the presence of which can lead to pain and tightness. 

A.R.T. is a special type of deep tissue therapy that can effectively remove this unhealthy tissue. The key that sets it apart 

from other types of ‘static’ therapies is the ACTIVE lengthening of the affected muscle by the patient, helping the therapist to 

more effectively RELEASE or break up the unhealthy tissue within the muscle. 

WHAT ARE SOME COMMON CONDITIONS TREATED WITH A.R.T.? 

• stiff/painful neck and shoulder due to excessive amounts of time in front of computers 

• back pain and associated sciatica from a car accident 

• shoulder pain due to a sport or weight training injury 

• runner’s knee due to tight IT band 

The best way to appreciate the benefits of A.R.T. is to try it out. Note: Student Greenshield Plan provides coverage for up to 10 sessions. 

Fees: Free up to 10 sessions/ $35 per session after
