that acute inflammation is actually the body's healthy response to injury, signalling the need for repair by helping to clear damaged cells from the area to begin the healing process? It's only when inflammation becomes chronic that the body becomes overly stressed. Osteopathic treatment improves motion not only to muscles and joints but increases blood flow, which actually does the healing. Contact an OSTCAN OMP near you: https://ostcan.ca/search/

Align Osteopathy & Wellness is excited to announce that Janessa Bell will be joining our team!

Janessa was born and raised in Thunder Bay, she attended Lakehead University and graduated in 2013 with an Honour’s Bachelor of Science Degree, majoring in Biology. Her path to finding and practicing Osteopathy began when she was diagnosed with a chronic illness, and the only relief she could find from her many symptoms was found through the skilled ministrations of her future friend and colleague, Jaqueline Spring. Enrolling at the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy (CAO) in 2018, over many years of persistence, hard work, travel and support from her family and partner John, she graduated in 2022 and has put herself in a position to be able to help others the way Osteopathic therapy has been able to help her. Janessa is incredibly excited to be able to bring her newfound skillset and personal experience back to her hometown, and looks forward to helping others in her community.

"What is osteopathy, anyway?"

Osteopathy is a form of manual therapy whereby practitioners work with their hands to gently adjust the body structure wherever it has broken down. This work may be directed toward muscles, fascia or other soft tissues, as well as bones and joints. Adjustments target the entire body, not just the areas expressing the greatest level of pain, muscle tension or sensitivity. In this manner, every important system is examined and treated which ensures patients experience significant relief in reasonable time.

Human anatomy and physiology are so interconnected that as structure (anatomy) is restored from a condition of dysfunction back to one of function, the physiology tends to follow suit. This is not an osteopathic idea or an osteopathic belief - this is a universal principle which applies to ALL biological systems.

Early osteopaths recognized the power of this principle and upon it they built the framework for a system of manual therapeutics which is now called osteopathy. Thus, the goal of osteopathy is NOT to treat the symptoms or conditions of a patient but in fact to stimulate a patient’s self healing and self recuperative abilities by virtue of restored anatomical and mechanical function.
