Did you know that osteopathy is covered by most extended health insurance companies? ⁣
⁣
Plans vary in what they include in the extended health package so make sure to check your plan. ⁣
⁣
We can direct bill via Telus health at our clinic if your provider is set up to do so, otherwise you can submit your receipt for reimbursement 💵⁣
⁣
📧 If osteopathy isn’t listed on your plan, email me at 𝗔𝗻𝗻𝗲-𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗲@𝗶𝘀𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺 and I will send you a letter that you can submit to your employer or union representative to request that osteopathy be included in your benefits plan the next time they negotiate what they will cover. ⁣

Is your baby turning their head more to one side than the other? ⁣🤔
⁣
Sometimes babies demonstrate a preference for turning their head to one side more than the other. When muscles in the neck are really tight, baby may not be able to look towards the other direction at all. If this is happening, your baby might have torticollis. ⁣
⁣
Torticollis is a common muscular condition caused by tightening of the muscles on the side of the neck, often resulting from baby’s position in the womb.⁣
⁣
When identified early, torticollis can easily be treated and resolved. ⁣
⁣
If you are concerned about your baby’s head position or neck mobility, it’s a good idea to reach out for support.⁣
⁣
A pediatric osteopathic practitioner can help to identify restrictions in muscles and joints, measure range of motion, and assess the rest of baby’s body to identify patterns of tension and restricted mobility. 🤲🏼💕 We use gentle hands-on techniques to improve mobility and reduce tension comfortably for baby and will provide you with strategies you can do to further help your baby.

Did you know that Osteopathy can alleviate symptoms associated with infant colic, such as crying, regurgitation and interrupted sleep? ⁣
⁣
Colic is defined as “when a healthy baby cries for a very long time for no obvious reason” 😳⁣
⁣
Let me tell you- while everything may check out as ‘healthy and fine’ medically, a baby who is crying inconsolably is most definitely trying to communicate something. ⁣
⁣
Characteristics of infant colic include inconsolable crying for more than 3 hours, more than 3 days per week, for longer than 3 weeks and affects about 10-40% of infants and peaks around 6 weeks of age. ⁣
⁣
📚A randomized controlled study published in 2023 found that treatment with osteopathic manual therapy alleviated the symptoms of infant colic and showed reductions in colic severity, compared to the control group. ⁣
⁣
👶🏼The group of infants who received osteopathic treatment cried less and the improvement was maintained during the second week, with parents reporting improvements after each treatment. They also had improvements in sleep and regurgitation with no adverse side effects 🙌🏼 ⁣

💥Neck Pain, whether an acute flare-up or a chronic occurrence, is a common problem that can really impact quality of life and is often distressing to some degree. ⁣
⁣
Sometimes the cause is fairly obvious, as in when there has been an injury (whiplash, falls, sports injuries), yet it is also common for neck pain to occur without a mechanism of injury with seemingly random onset. ⁣
⁣
Stress, head position or posture (as in prolonged computer work), and general body tension can contribute to neck discomfort and pain. ⁣
⁣
The pain may be localized to the neck, or may radiate into the head, down the arms, and into the upper back or shoulders. ⁣
⁣
Osteopathic Practitioners aim to understand whether neck pain is originating from muscle tension or strain, irritation to nerves, breathing patterns, or is due to conditions of the bones and discs of the cervical spine. ⁣
⁣
We use a range of techniques that can focus on the cranium, spine, muscles, throat, jaw, and shoulders, while applying a global approach and understanding the importance of looking at the whole body rather than only treating the symptomatic area (there are so many interconnections within the body!). ⁣
⁣
Techniques used may include:⁣
- cranial osteopathic techniques⁣
- soft tissue techniques⁣
- joint mobilization’s (which are always gentle and working with the body, no forceful manoeuvres are ever used on the neck)⁣
⁣
We may talk about movements, exercises, and strategies to ease your symptoms in conjunction to osteopathic treatment. ⁣
⁣
Don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions! ⁣

🍼 Bottle feeding your breastfed baby? ⁣
⁣
Here are a few tips that may help prevent a preference for the rapid flow of a bottle, which may interfere with breastfeeding 🤱🏼 ⁣
⁣
1. Before introducing a bottle, make sure that breastfeeding has been well established and that baby is latching well. Your milk supply is being established during the first 4-6 weeks and it’s important to allow your baby to cluster feed and develop their breastfeeding skills during this time. ⁣
⁣
2. When bottle feeding, used a paced approach by allowing baby to latch onto the bottle (don’t shove the bottle into their mouth) and take breaks, just like when baby is breastfeeding. This will take longer but also allows baby to pace themselves and can prevent over feeding and help with digestion. ⁣
⁣
3. Use a slower flow bottle ni**le so that baby can continue to use latch well and use their feeding reflexes. ⁣
⁣
4. Maintain your milk supply by pumping the amount of milk your baby needs. Not removing milk from your breasts at regular intervals might lower your supply, and over pumping can lead to over production of milk. ⁣

I know many parents can feel nervous about brining their baby to a new practitioner. ⁣
⁣
And I don’t take it lightly that you place your trust in me 🤲🏼⁣
⁣
What I love about osteopathy is that it provides a gentle and respectful approach to hands-on treatment and patient care, and I will always do my best to ensure that both baby and parents are comfortable and feel safe in my hands ❤️⁣

About My Practice

Having studied both Kinesiology and Osteopathic Manual Therapy, and with a keen interest in always learning more about the science of pain, I have the tools and skillset required to help you to overcome your pain and to achieve your movement goals, whether that be gardening, getting back to playing a sport you enjoy, or being able to work for longer periods of time with less pain.

I take a holistic approach to treating a person by taking into consideration not only the physical symptoms and pain triggers, but also by understanding the importance of mindset, the role of emotions, as well as social situations and other lifestyle factors that may be contributing to the problem, and may also be important components of the solution.

As an Osteopathic Practitioner, I am trained to find the root cause of your painful condition.

Osteopathy is a gentle and safe option to helping people of all ages who are suffering from a wide range of conditions and symptoms. I can offer alternative options to pain medication for pain management. I also work alongside other healthcare professionals, such as doctors, physical therapists, massage therapists, chiropractors, counsellors, and psychologists. I believe in a team approach when it comes to providing the best care possible for my patients.
