FAQ✨

Here is a repost from .osteopathy explaining his craft and expertise!

Osteopathy is both a gentle and effective treatment for everybody.

❌ Treatment does not involve high velocity adjustments, “cracking”, or massage.

✅ Treatment entails gentle mobilizations of all joints and soft tissues throughout the body. We search for structural asymmetries, restriction of movement, and aim for optimal health through gentle realignment of bones, muscles, and ligaments to allow the body to self heal and self regulate.

🔑 Each treatment is unique to the patient, with the goal of treatment being to encourage proper flow through nerves, arteries, veins and lymphatics in order to facilitate a full body healing effect. When the body is in perfect mechanical order, we have health.

👍 All treatments are now covered through all insurance and extended health benefits!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month 💕

Lymphedema is a potential side-effect of breast cancer treatments and surgery, which involves swelling, pain, tightness, numbness and possible infection. It can happen days, months, or years following treatment and can be temporary or permanent. It greatly affects quality of life and healing.

The best way to avoid and manage lymphedema is to incorporate various techniques such as physical therapy, proper skin care and lymphatic drainage massage.  

👣 Did you know that reflexology lymphatic drainage (RLD) can be just as effective as massage?
RLD is an award-winning reflexology technique developed by Sally Kay. It focuses on stimulating the lymphatic reflexes on the feet to support lymphatic drainage of the whole body. 

👣 Why might one prefer RLD over manual lymphatic massage?
RLD works distally on the feet and does not involve direct contact to the affected area, which makes it a great option for those who prefer that. This technique is very relaxing and the results can be immediate or take a few sessions.  

Our registered reflexologist, Kathy, received further training by Sally Kay and is a RLD approved reflexology practitioner in Canada. If you or someone you know could benefit from this form of therapy, please share, repost and connect with us.

FAQ✨

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, health is a manifestation of the balance between Qi, blood, Yin and Yang. ☯️

When there is disharmony in any of these vital substances, then symptoms arise. Traditional Chinese herbs and acupuncture can be used to help restore this balance and promote health.

What does a session look like?
An in-depth health history will be taken along with a pulse and tongue assessment.

That's right, your tongue and pulse!
The color, shape and size of your tongue along with the coating can tell us a lot about your health. Similarly, the rate and characteristic of your pulse tells us a lot too 🤯

Interested?
Te-Ming Leung is our R. RCMP and R. Ac and has over 30 years of clinical experience.
