Happy long weekend! People often get more active during this best time of year as it warms up and the daylight stretches. Osteopathic treatments help to align your musculoskeletal system, alleviate pain, and prevent injury as you move more during your favourite summer activities. Consider booking a treatment today so you can feel your best as you enjoy golfing, biking, camping, hiking, or whatever you like to do!

Curious what you can expect when you book an initial treatment? During your first booking we will discuss your health history and current conditions. We’ll then go ahead with an assessment to understand how you are moving and how we can help any areas of concern. We’ll apply gentle manipulations specific to your individual needs. After your treatment we will discuss a treatment plan appropriate for you.

The New Year always feels like a good time to refocus on wellness and prioritize healthy habits. Osteopathy can improve circulation and mobility, relieving areas of tension. This in turn can help your body uptake nutrients, improve your sleep, and help you to feel your best.

Members of OSTCAN Alberta are committed to upholding a standard of practice to ensure clients are given the care they deserve. Some of OSTCAN’s criteria include education requirements such as a minimum of 4 years’ education in osteopathy and over 1000 hours of practical, supervised clinical hours.

Holding practitioners to these standards ensures that our community is well cared for with reliable and effective treatments. It also means that most insurance providers with benefits plans recognize osteopathic manual therapy from OSTCAN members as reimbursable. Just a reminder to use up those benefits before they expire in a couple months!

Just a friendly reminder that we are made up of organic materials. Our bodies are a complicated system of processes and functions, and they respond to what we put in them and how we interact with our environment around us.

Our anatomical structure and physiology are closely related. Osteopathic treatments can help to ease some digestive issues and help nutritional uptake throughout our bodies. Book a consult today if you’re curious to learn more!

One of the benefits of osteopathy is our holistic approach. What does this mean? It means your body is more than the sum of its parts. We look at the whole, a complex and interconnected system of structures and functions.

Think about how a tree, though unseen, has a vast and complex root system below ground supplying it with nutrients and water. Likewise, in your body various systems transfer the blood, oxygen, nutrients, neurotransmitters, etc. you need for health. If there is dysfunction in these systems, symptoms may be the “visible” result.

Manual osteopaths use gentle manipulation and mobilization of structures within the body to restore overall health. Seeking to identify the root cause of the problem may provide long-lasting relief and prevent the symptom from occurring again.
