DR. JASON BERCOVITCH

DC

While studying for a BSc Honours at McGill University, Dr. Jason Bercovitch suffered from debilitating low back pain. Months of medical visits, rehabilitation and pain medication did little to relieve the discomfort. Out of desperation, he finally sought the care of a chiropractor. The care he received not only releived the pain, but dramatically improved his life long battle with asthma, allergies and chest infections. This life changing experience inspired Dr. Jason to help others who suffered like himself.


DR. SABRINA BERCOVITCH

BSC, DC

In 1988, as a student, Dr. Sabrina’s life changed when she sought the help of a chiropractor for severe headaches and migraines accompanied by chronic neck and shoulder stiffness and pain. Regular headaches and tension in her upper body dissapeared, while energy and vitality returned. Two years later, an avid tennis player, Dr. Sabrina injured her right knee and once again, with the help of her chiropractor , she was able to regain her mobility and strength.

FritS VOLMULLER

CERTIFIED PERSONAL TRAINER

Frits's roots in sports and exercise as a fitness professional date back to the late 1990's when he started his first health & fitness centre, Lady Sport, in The Hague (The Netherlands). After nine years, he sold the business and moved to the Caribbean, where he started Health & Fitness Bonaire (HFC Bonaire). Frits also moved to Curacao for 2.5 years, where he began a Kickboxing, Boxing and Aerobics Facility. After 2.5 years, he moved back to Bonaire, where Frits worked as a full-time Sports & Conditioning Specialist and Personal Trainer. During these years, he also finished his CSCS certification at the National Strength and Conditioning Association in Miami, Fl. Bonaire is a beautiful island, but after 15 years and having three kids, Frits and his family decided to make the step toward Canada. He began this journey in 2017, and almost five years later, Frits and his family are finally here as permanent residents. The LiveWell philosophy of exercise, lifestyle and balance (5 pillars – eat, sleep, think, move, brain-body) is something he has been sharing with clients since the start of his career! Frits hopes to see you in one of his Training or Small Group Exercise sessions at the Live Well Family Health Centre.
