Unfortunately, I am writing this post for a 3rd time.
As this above email from the OOA/OSTCAN states, all osteopathic manual practitioners are forced to close during this "emergency brake" until May 1st.
I have decided to open up tomorrow for appointments! Call, Email, Message, or use the online schedule to get in one last time before we shut down for a month.

17/02/2021

With the lockdown restrictions lifted and Perth County entering Orange restrictions, and Dufferin County entering Red restrictions as of Feb 16th, FORM Osteopathy will be open again starting February 18th in Stratford and February 23rd in Grand Valley.

Please contact us by email, phone, or DM if you would like to schedule an appointment. The online schedule will also be activated shortly for those that would like to schedule online

We're so excited to get back to helping our clients!

Have you ever left your osteo appointment wondering why the OMT didn't spend alot of time and/or focus on your specific area of concern?
The osteopathic approach to treatment considers the entire body as a unit, rather than a collection of individual parts. This means that while your symptoms may be localized to 1 area, the root cause(s) could stem from any where in the body.

Imagine you are watering your garden and the hose gets a kink in it which diminishes the water pressure at the nozzle. The issue is apparent at the nozzle, but the kink is some where else in the hose and the water pressure will only be restored once the kink is removed. Your OMT is working with your body in a similar way. The issue is apparent where you feel the pain, but may actually be coming from some where else. An osteopathic manual therapist is trained to look at the body as a complex unit, and knows how to accurately assess how asymmetry, restriction, or dysfunction in any 1 part of the body is going to affect the unit as a whole. Back to the hose example, there could be a kink (or multiple) in the hose some where along its length, or there could be something faulty in the nozzle itself, or maybe the hose is kinked and the nozzle is faulty. In each case the symptom/complaint is the same; the output of water from the nozzle is insufficient. You could clean up, repair, or even replace the nozzle, but if you haven't considered the entire length of the system and if there is even 1 small kink, the problem isn't going to resolve. While the human body is a lot more complicated than a garden hose, an osteopathic manual therapist is an expert at finding the kinks!

Looking for the best way to help small business right now...👇😎

Small businesses need your support more than ever. While curbside pick up and online purchases are important options to show your support, don't underestimate the value of an online review or word-of-mouth referral. Often times this zero cost form of support can be exponentially more valuable to that business than any single sale! So while so many of us have some spare time at home, take a bit of time and right a short review for some businesses you'd like to help during this difficult time! While you're helping out your other favourite local businesses, if have had an experience at FORM that you'd be willing to share, we'd be incredibly grateful 😊.

If you have appointments booked for the new year, we will be reaching out to you in the next few days to reschedule your appointment. Please do not go online and cancel you appointment on your own.
If you were hoping to schedule an new appointment in the new year, please contact us and we will be happy to add you to the appointment list and answer any questions you may have, however, we will not be scheduling any new appointments until this most recent shut down has ended.

As always, please reach out if you have any questions or concerns over this time and we will do our best to support our amazing patients in any way we can.

Happy Holidays and we look forward to seeing everyone again in 2021!!

If you follow this page, but haven't Liked/Followed FORM Osteopathy yet, I'd really appreciate if you would head over to the page now and hit the Like button before leaving a review and sending in a question!!

As many of you know, since the start of FORM Osteopathy I've taken very few days off. That's because I truly love interacting with all of you each day I go into the office, and helping people solve their health problems makes the day fly by. As you can imagine, being off work the last couple of weeks has felt like time is barely creeping along. So I've decided to try and get better at social media interaction, and I would really appreciate some help with that! Here's what you can do to help me out:

1. Write a review!- If you've been in to see myself or Lauren and wouldn't mind sharing your experience please do! Reviews help people who may not know what osteopathy is, or who are trying to decide if it's the right option for them. Please leave your review in the review section on the FORM Osteopathy page!
*If you'd like to share a review but would rather not post through your Facebook account, send me an email/text/FB message!*

2. Share this post! Or our page! If you've been helped by osteopathy and/or think someone you know may benefit from an appointment please pass our contact information along!
**We also have gift cards available if you'd like to give the gift of osteopathy to someone you care about!**

3a. If you have questions about osteopathy, osteopathic treatment, etc. please send them my way! I'm thinking about posting some Q&A (video, FAQ section, or FAQ post.. I haven't decided yet) and I could really use some material!

3b. If there's a particular subject that multiple people are interested in, I'm thinking about putting together a series of informational posts that go a bit deeper into a subject

I appreciate all the support I have received up until this point throughout this pandemic and also how responsible the majority of people I talk to have been able social distancing in order to get this thing under control sooner, rather than later. If we all continue to do are part, there will be people filling those chairs below in no time! Stay safe everyone!

As things continue to progress with the COVID-19 outbreak and new and more serious precautionary measures are put in place to slow the spread, FORM Osteopathy will be closed for 2 weeks until March 30th. We will continue to monitor the situation until then and make a decision as to whether it is responsible to resume the appointment schedule at that time. If you have any appointments schedule between now and March 30th someone will be reaching out, but feel free to go online and cancel and/or book a follow up appointment for after March 30th. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in helping to slow the spread of this and with any luck things will be back to normal sooner rather than. Let's all stay safe out there and take all of the necessary precautions to slow this thing down!
