Manual Osteopathy
Osteopathy and Manual Osteopathic Therapy use hands-on skills for investigation and treatment of body dysfunctions. The whole body is examined and when mechanical disruptions and imbalances are found, they are gently treated with techniques that engage the dysfunctional tissue until function is normalized.
This is achieved using treatment modalities involving General Osteopathic Technique, Muscle Energy for specific osteo-articulation dysfunctions, Myofascial Release, Craniosacral, Lymphatic Drainage, and Visceral Manipulation techniques.
The goal of Manual Osteopathy is to restore proper function and balance to the body allowing it to heal through its own natural processes. It guides the body to balance your nervous system, your circulatory and lymphatic systems all while improving your joint range of motion and relieving pain, discomfort, and other symptoms.
athletic therapy
Certified Athletic Therapists are best known for their quick-thinking on-field emergency care of professional and elite athletes. The first to respond when someone gets hurt, they are experts at injury assessment and rehabilitation. It’s that same mix of on-site care and active rehabilitation skills that makes Athletic Therapists so effective in treating the musculoskeletal (muscles, bones, and joints) injuries of all Canadians, whether on the field or in the clinic.
Athletic therapists adhere to the Sports Medicine Model of care. They treat a wide range of patients, from kids with concussions to seniors recovering from hip replacement surgery, using various manual therapies, modalities, exercise prescription and even bracing and taping. The treatment varies but the objective doesn’t: an Athletic Therapist's goal is to help clients return to their usual activities, whether that means playing competitive sports or walking to the mailbox and back.
DECREASE YOUR ACCIDENT RISK AT WORK BY LEARNING SAFE MOVEMENT
Industrial workplaces have an increased inherent danger. Learn to mitigate that danger through proper movement and postural techniques that help to minimize personal injury with our industrial ergonomics assessments and services. A physical lifestyle, including a physical job, should be healthy for your body. A sedentary job that is regularly interrupted with movement can keep your body healthy and resilient. Unfortunately, proper positioning and movement skills are not taught, trained, or coached in most workplaces. As a result, high-risk habits can go unrecognized and uncorrected, leading to unnecessary discomfort, pain and eventually - injury. Our ErgoMove Program® provides your organization with the knowledge, skills, and leadership training necessary to improve movement safety. The goal is to reduce preventable soft tissue injuries through a shift in your safety culture towards healthy posture and movement habits. That's where the ErgoMove® can help!
