Celebrating the father of osteopathy!

Oggi è il suo compleanno... Molti post lo acclamano... Pochi applicano i suoi principi e di coloro come Little John e Werhman che hanno portato fino ai giorni nostri quei meravigliosi principi...
lunga vita all'osteopatia e agli osteopati.

Osteopathy can help re-align your body.

This patient’s chief complaint was lower back pain and tightness in the hips. She presented with an elevated left side of the body. You can see her left shoulder and left hip are slightly higher than her right. Her hips are also rotated towards her left, due to her sacrum being imbalanced. Though this misalignment may look subtle, it was more than enough to cause discomfort and interference to the patient’s daily activities and sports.

By manipulating muscular-skeletal structures around the lower back, pelvis and leg, tension was released from the SI ligament and joint. This balanced the sacrum, pelvis and lower back. In other words, the patient achieved improved alignment after just one session! She felt relief from the pain she was experiencing and has increased her range of motion.

Dynamic alignment is one of the many benefits of Osteopathic Treatment. Click here to book an appointment: http://www.thespinaljoint.ca/book-an-appointment 🤗

Not only are women a majority of my patients but they are also a majority of new students and graduates of osteopathic schools. I am grateful to and respect all the strides made towards equality then, now and in the future.

Dr. Still, the founder of Osteopathy, did something unheard of when opening his new school in 1892: he decided to accept women and men equally, which was unimaginable at the time. His actions allowed women to thrive in Osteopathy, and today on International Women’s Day, we celebrate all of the incredible women working in the field.

This year's International Women’s Day theme is , and we all have a part to play in creating a gender equal world. Learn more about International Women's Day:

Each person has their own story and I love getting to know and help each and every one of you.

When a patient comes into an office of an OMP, they're not defined by their symptoms. An OMP doesn't see a bad stomach, a sore neck, a bad hip, etc. They see the full person, and then consider many other factors that could be contributing to pain. This full body approach to health is the reason so many patients finally find relief with Osteopathic treatments.

Hello everyone,
As opposed to the previous post my clinic is not yet reopened. I apologize for any misunderstanding but I have not yet been given the go ahead by my association. While this is disappointing to have to wait longer I must follow the guidelines that are set forth to me. Thank you for your understanding and I will keep you posted so that may help you in your health and wellness as soon as possible. All the very best,
Philip Drube, M.OMSc

My clinic is still temporarily closed! In the meantime, updated protocols are being put in place to ensure the safety for all. When I do get the green light to reopen appointments will be staggered, prioritizing urgent care and allowing time to sanitize surfaces between patients.

I will be operating with increased safety measures in accordance to public health guidelines. Please be advised that I will be pre-screening each patient for COVID-19 symptoms and risk factors (such as travel or recent potential exposure). If you are feeling unwell, please stay home and I will see you another time. Upon arrival, please wash your hands in the washroom down the hallway from my office. Upon entering, I will take your temperature(no contact), continue screening and confirm consent to clear you for treatment. I encourage you to wear your own mask or I will have disposable masks and hand sanitizer once you come into the office. I will be wearing a mask myself for the entirety of your treatment. My office and treatment table will be thoroughly cleaned between each appointment.

I want to thank you all for your confidence in me as your Manual Osteopathic Practitioner. I am very grateful to be able to help my patients out. Be safe, be well and be positive!

Dear respected and supportive patients:

I hope you are all safe and doing well during this time of isolation and managing the best you can while we in the midst of COVID-19.
You have been foremost on my mind during this period of closure and I am available should you need any consultation or help in any way.
Below is a survey from my association that may be beneficial so that I may, in return, get back to helping you.

Do you miss your treatments?

Are you in desperate need of care?

Do you wish osteopathy was deemed an essential service?

Is there nothing else that works as well for you as osteopathy does?

Now is a great time to take the OSTCAN survey! It will help to strengthen and protect the profession of Osteopathy. The survey is quick and easy to fill out. This ACTION is meant to build a reservoir of patient testimonials that can make our case to the government and to insurance stakeholders about the value and importance of osteopathy in the healthcare landscape.

With you, my patients, missing the service, this is the perfect time to rally everyone!

These are tough times and deciding what to do and how to manage affects each and every one of us. For the time being, my clinic will remain open as we all respond the implications of COVID-19. Osteopathic treatment has profound benefits to all of the body's systems, including stress and anxiety.
I will be wearing masks during treatments and
have been insuring that all surfaces are cleaned and disinfected regularly as usual. My building has also taken extra effort to keep common areas and washrooms disinfected. Entry is now limited to the intercom.
Please wash your hands in the washroom down the hall or use the hand sanitizer in my office prior to and post treatment. If you are experiencing cold or flu-like symptoms, please stay at home.
Also, please inform me if you have recently travelled outside of Canada. Be safe and thank you for your consideration and understanding.
I will continue to update you as necessary.

Most people don't realize how many bones make up the head and the influence in relation to the rest of the body. Something to consider with osteopathic treatment.
