The link between physical and mental health is stronger than we realize. When you're physically tense, in pain, or dealing with poor posture, it affects your mood, energy, and stress levels. Osteopathic manual practitioners (OMPs) focus on reducing physical tensions in the body, which can help ease mental stress. By improving circulation, reducing muscular tension, and restoring balance, OMPs can promote relaxation, reduce anxiety, and improve sleep.

Whether it's working at a desk, relaxing on the couch, or spending time in front of a screen, these extended sitting sessions can lead to poor posture. When sitting for long periods, people may slouch, round their shoulders, or crane their necks forward, which can place undue stress on the spine and surrounding muscles. This poor posture can lead to imbalances in the body, resulting in back pain, neck stiffness, and shoulder discomfort.

If you're suffering from neck and back pain, body imbalances, or experiencing tension in your shoulders, contact your local OMP to review your posture and get to the root of your discomfort.

The body's structure and its function are interrelated. There is a reason why we feel our very best when everything is aligned just right. Here is why structure and function matter:

✨ Alignment is Everything: Your body’s structure—bones, muscles, ligaments—directly influences how it functions. When everything's in harmony, you move with ease and grace.

💪 Support for Optimal Function: Just like a well-oiled machine, your body thrives when each part plays its role. By ensuring proper alignment, an OMP helps your body operate at its peak.

🔍 Prevention is Key: Catching misalignments early can prevent aches, pains, and even more serious issues down the road. An OMP's keen eye can spot imbalances before they become bigger problems.

Without proper structure, our bodies can't function at their best.

The core principles of osteopathic philosophy include the belief that the body is a dynamic unit, and it possesses its own mechanisms for healing and maintaining balance and functions as an integrated whole.

These principles support the holistic approach to osteopathic treatment, which considers not only the symptoms but also the underlying causes and the body's innate capacity to heal itself.

It is officially outdoor running season in Canada, but as we know pavement is an unforgiving surface. Because of uneven sidewalks, consistent pavement pounding and the lack of shock absorption the pavement offers, it can lead to shin splints, sore joints and hips, IT band syndrome, and more.

If you're kickstarting your outdoor running journey this season, connect with your local OMP. Whether you're just starting or a seasoned veteran, your OMP can offer support to keep you feeling and moving your best. Find an OSTCAN OMP near you: https://ostcan.ca/mpage/members-search

A common misconception about osteopathy is that you only go visit your Osteopathic Manual Practitioner (OMP) if you're in pain, but that couldn't be further from the truth! While pain management is a common reason why individuals seek care, OMPs aim to restore balance and optimize the body's self-healing mechanisms, which can benefit various aspects of health beyond pain relief. other areas where your OMP may provide treatment and support include:

- Improving Range of Motion
- Promoting Relaxation and Stress Reduction
- Improving Posture and Alignment
- Supporting Respiratory Function
- Digestive issues
