Through touch Osteopathy works with the interrelationships between the many systems of our body to bring balance to our whole self. It does this by grounding and reconnecting us with the world around us as we learn to sense into our internal physiology within us.

When our body can let go of defensive postures, it has the opportunity to lower protective inflammatory responses which can keep our sensitivity to states of stress and pain high.

Osteopathy is for every body! It improves the body’s communication between all it’s systems; endocrine, respiratory, cardiovascular, digestive, urinary, reproductive, muscular, nervous, lymphatic.

When aches and pains spring up in our body it’s how our body tries to communicate to us an unconscious need that has gone unmet.

When your body is tight or is sending you pain messages, like say for instance a headache, have you ever stoped to ask the question “body what do you need”? The answer may come to you in the form of a thought, feeling or sensation and direct you towards taking a drink of water or setting time to get enough restful sleep or allowing space to feel through an unpleasant emotion.

Our body speaks to us all day long.

Osteopathy is a paramedical healthcare service used, loved and trusted by many. In these difficult COVID times the Ontario Government has lumped Osteopathy in as a personal care service not as an essential health service because the profession of Osteopathy in Ontario is unregulated.

What does this mean with the recently announced 3 part reopening Ontario plan? Osteopathy will be unable to resume in person patient care until step 2 (scheduled for the beginning of July).

To my patients… I miss you, I thank you for your continued patience, I remain hopeful to be able to see and work with you in person soon.

Do you have thoughts that cause your body to tense up? It’s a universal experience as the mind affects our body and our body affects our mind.

We can loosen the hold our mind has on our body by engaging in mindfulness practices. As we recognize, allow, investigate and nurture (RAIN) our thoughts, emotions and sensations they have less of an impact on our physical body.

The clinic has been freshly painted in anticipation to reopen.

My patients have gone months without Osteopathic care and my livelihood has been taken away due to our current governments decision to not list Osteopathy as an essential service. You can help Osteopathy by contacting your local MPP office.

OMPs in Ontario have been prohibited from working during lockdown and it is having a significant impact on patients. Read the opinion piece by OAO Past-President, Catherine-Cabral Marotta, which was published in today’s Hamilton Spectator and Waterloo Region Record, on why her patients consider her treatment an essential service, and why the OAO would like the Ontario government to do the same.
