Move a Mile Challenge: December's Invitation to Move with Purpose.
Restorative Whole Health's Annual Challenge Returns to Okotoks and Southern Alberta.
What Is Move a Mile?
One month. One consistent commitment. However that looks for you.
For some, it means a daily walk through Okotoks' winter trails. For others, it's bringing mindfulness to movement they're already doing. And for those just beginning, it's permission to start small.
The challenge isn't about doing more—it's about doing with purpose.
Why Movement Matters
Movement is medicine for your:
Mental clarity and stress management
Sleep quality and energy levels
Long-term health and injury prevention
Connection to your body's wisdom
At our integrative health clinic in Okotoks, we've watched this challenge transform hundreds of lives. What started as a simple invitation has become an anticipated annual event that unites our community each December.
We're proposing something different: consistency over intensity.
Plus: 100% of your $10 registration supports the Orenda Society, a Southern Alberta non-profit dedicated to youth and family well-being.
Three Ways to Participate
Already Active? Add Mindfulness
You're constantly in motion. This challenge invites you to add presence, not pressure.
Try this: Take three minutes during your daily walk to focus only on breath and movement. Notice how your body feels without trying to change anything.
Ready to Build Consistency
You understand that showing up daily creates transformation.
Try this: A 15-20 minute walk each day, exploring new routes while maintaining your commitment. Our physiotherapy services can help if you need guidance adapting movement to your body's needs.
Just Starting Out
Between work and life, adding one more thing feels impossible.
Try this: Start with 10 minutes, three times a week. Park farther away and walk with intention. Our family health care team can help you find what works for your current capacity—whether that's gentle stretching, seated exercises, or modified movement.
Your Questions Answered
When does it start?
December 1st. But if you miss it, join anytime throughout the month.
What if I miss a day?
Life happens. The goal is consistency, not perfection. Simply begin again the next day.
What if I'm already very active?
This challenge is about intention, not adding more. Bring mindfulness to your existing practice.
What if movement is difficult right now?
We'll help you find what works. At our Okotoks physiotherapy clinic, we specialize in sports rehabilitation, post-surgery recovery, and injury management. Movement can be gentle stretching, seated exercises, or breathing practices. Our manual therapy and physical therapy teams can adapt the challenge to your needs.
How much does it cost?
$10 registration. 100% goes to the Orenda Society.
