It starts with a conversation. We take time to listen to your unique health conditions and clear any questions you may have. We then offer you our expert advice on what treatment we believe will work best for your current symptoms and how to help optimize your body.
Pain & Sports Related Injuries
Pain is the body's natural way of telling you that something isn't right. Whether it's a nagging muscle pain or a sharp pain from an injury, pain is your body's way of saying that something needs to be fixed. When it comes to sports injuries, pain is often the first symptom that something has gone wrong.
While pain is a natural protective response, it's not always helpful. In fact, pain can often interfere with the healing process by making it difficult to move and exercise. That's where osteopathy can help. Osteopathy is a form of manual therapy that helps to optimize the body's natural healing ability. By working with the muscles, bones, joints, and nervous system, Osteopathic Practitioners can help to relieve pain, promote healing, and return movement to the body.
Osteopathy can be particularly helpful for sports injuries because it helps to restore normal movement and function. This not only helps to relieve pain, but also helps to prevent further injury and promote overall health. If you're dealing with a sports injury, consider seeking out osteopathic care.
Osteopathy may just be the key to helping you heal quickly and get back to your favourite activities pain-free.
Pregnancy, Pre, and Post-Natal Support
Osteopathy in pregnancy is a very gentle, non-invasive manual therapy that can help restore balance to the body. Pregnancy can be an amazing as well as a taxing time on one’s body. Throughout pregnancy there are many physical changes as your body adapts to accommodate for a growing baby. Hormone changes in pregnancy soften connective tissues and allow for the body's mechanics and posture to change significantly. This affects where stress is placed upon the body. If your body is not adapting well imbalances may occur. These imbalances may lead to pain, affect fluid flow and cause breathing difficulty. Osteopathy can support pregnant people during this time by helping to ease these discomforts and allow their body to adapt well to the pregnancy.
Additionally, osteopathy can provide support before and after childbirth as the body continues to adjust. Osteopathy can be an empowering and supportive modality for women during this transformation period.
