Osteopathy focuses on freeing the body of any restrictions caused by injury or day-to-day activities and stressors. Twh osteopath’s use a combination of gentle manual therapy techniques to free these restrictions and allow for the body to heal itself! These gentle techniques include muscle release, stretching + muscle activation [ post isometric relaxation], contraction of opposing muscles [reciprocal inhibition], and rhythmical joint motions through your natural range of motion to get your body aligned and moving back to normal!

Reasons to bring your little one to see us:
- Feeding/latching issues

Twh’s favourite tips to relieving muscle cramps:

1. Stretch and perform gentle movements daily. Our bodies love to move vs. being static = motion is lotion. This flushes out toxins & inflammation in the area and improves blood flow to the area to bring nutrients to the cells and get ride of waste products.
2. Stay hydrated. Water is essential for healthy muscles. We are made up of ~ 60% of water which helps to protect our joints and muscles keeping them lubricated & fluid.
3. Check your electrolytes! Magnesium, calcium and potassium help absorb water.
4. Get enough sleep. Aim for at least 7-8 hours of sleep per night so that you wake up feeling refreshed. We heal while we sleep!

Twh practitioners offer an individualized treatment plan + recommendations to relieve muscle cramps, tension and injuries! Book an appointment through the link in our bio.

The one mobility stretch everyone needs!

This dynamic stretch can help all of our office, couch and island desk workers to reduce pain and increase range of motion through our upper back, neck and shoulders. Grab your foam roller or rolled up towel, place it horizontally along your upper back and gently extend your upper back over it while taking a few deep breaths in & out. Hold for ~ 30 seconds for 4 sets.

Our practitioners provide individualized mobility programs to help improve your range of motion throughout your busy day = productivity
