OSTEOPATHIC ASSESSMENT

The body is amazing, the way all of our musculoskeletal structures move and interrelate is poetic. Our bodies are not meant to be perfectly symmetrical however, certain movement restrictions and imbalances can at times lead to pain and dysfunction.

A core principle of Osteopathic treatment is to assess how the body moves, and try to identify biomechanical factors that may be leading to injuries, pain and dysfunction.

If you think you might benefit from this type of assessment, book an appointment from the link in our bio!

It’s officially benefit season ✨

With two months left in the year, it’s the perfect time to get your health + wellness on track to support the busy holiday season, and have you feeling your very best.

We’re here for you — 🫶🏼

2•2•22 🏮

We want to wish a Happy Lunar New Year for all those that celebrate.

As we enter the year of the Water Tiger 🐯 we can expect more energy and confidence to evolve and grow this year than the previous year.

This would indicate that it’s a good year for education, starting a new project or business you’ve been dreaming of.

It is also time to sever ties with old habits or relationships that don’t support your health, growth or happiness. After all - you deserve it!

What are your plans for 2022?

It’s going to be hot out there today 😅

Just a friendly reminder to hydrate throughout the day. It might not seem appealing but try to drink your water at room temperature as it helps to maintain hydration better and doesn’t slow down your digestive function. Also drinking throughout the day helps the body maintain hydration better than slamming back a litre of water all at once 💦

✨The science of gratitude ✨

Research shows the release of dopamine, oxytocin and serotonin when we express gratitude. These neurotransmitters are responsible for regulating major body functions such as digestion, sleep, and mood. When we express gratitude (even during your darkest moments) it makes room for feelings of connection, closeness and love 🥰

✨Here are some simple exercises to try:

1) Try writing down 3 things you are grateful for each day.

2) Challenge yourself by going 3 days without complaining

3) Reach out to someone that could use your help

Let us know your tips!

This is us 😍 And yes we actually love each other and enjoy working together to help our patients to feel better.
