Osteopathy is a therapeutic practice that is based upon the premise that manipulation of the muscles, viscera, bones, and the central nervous system, encourages self regulation within the body to restore function reduced pain and improved imbalances. Athletic Therapy involves the assessment, rehabilitation and prevention of orthopaedic and/or musculoskeletal injuries. Athletic Therapists use a var

iety of rehabilitative techniques to treat injuries and conditions sustained while playing a sport, recreational activities, accidents, or occupations. Sessions may be different than other forms of therapy you’ve undergone. We work with only one patient per session, allowing for a thorough assessment, hands-on treatment of structures involved with the limitations presented for that day, as well as, educate/prescribe of exercises specific for each patient. You can expect a full body, manual and active rehabilitation approach. Our treatment techniques use a light touch and a hands-on approach to treat pain and dysfunction. All rehabilitation exercises are prescribed, monitored and progressed appropriately by a member of our team. Treatment can help eliminate pain, improve movement, reduce fatigue, improve overall strength and function, prevent further injury and re-condition you back to sport, work or day-to-day activities. In addition, our therapeutic approach can help with relieving symptoms and distress associated with digestion, menstruation, and concussion. Our team has been using a manual therapy approach to help people just like you to manage symptoms and speed recovery for over 15 years. This is made possible by assessing and treating the body as a whole, including its foundation and all its contents. Our team members have studied non-conventional approaches to healing including Craniosacral therapy, Endocranial Spasm, Strain Counter Strain, Muscle Energy Technique, Functional Normalization and Myofacial Release. All of which will help restore movement, balance, and improved health. We specialize in working one-on-one with people of all ages who fall into 3 groups:

1. People who have sustained an injury while playing a sport or being physically active. Often these are people who may not have found relief with conventional physiotherapy or other forms of treatment and want to try a different approach.

2. People who suffer from old injuries that have not completely recovered, chronic pain, and nagging aches and pains. Similarly, these individuals have not found complete relief in their symptoms and issues continue to chronically plague them, causing ongoing distress and impact on their lives.

3. People who are actively involved in improving their personal health and quality of life. Often these are people who suffer from a condition that affect their day-to-day activities. In many instances these are people who come to manage chronic issues and to prevent future flare-ups.

Do acupuncture needles hurt? 🤔

Acupuncture needles are extremely thin—much finer than the needles used for injections. Most people feel little to nothing when they’re inserted.

typically uses 0.20/0.18 mm gauge needles. These are considered to be on the thinner side and are really fantastic for two reasons:

1) Insertion discomfort is minimal with most modern needles, but going a few point mm thinner makes it that much smoother, sometimes you don’t even feel the needle going in.

2) A thinner needle means slightly less stimulation for the body. Sometimes all we need is a little stimulation, we don’t want to send to many strong signals to the body, a little can go a long way. This is also ideal for highly sensitive people, a sensitive/painful condition, or individuals who are in a weaker state. 

Sometimes you might notice a slight tingling, warmth, or a dull ache, which practitioners actually consider a good sign that the treatment is working.

It’s definitely not the sharp pain people expect. In fact, many find acupuncture relaxing enough to fall asleep during a session 😌

If you’ve been curious but nervous, it’s one of those things that feels scarier in theory than in reality.

Have you ever tried it?

“Andrew Taylor Still emphasizes the inseparable connection between the structure and function of the human body. He acknowledges that the physical body is a complex system where structure and function go hand in hand.

The structure refers to the anatomical arrangement of bones, muscles, organs, and tissues, while the function encompasses the physiological processes and operations that occur within this structure. Still highlights that any alteration or impairment in the structure will inevitably impact the body’s ability to function effectively. Similarly, any dysfunction in the body’s processes can lead to structural abnormalities.

This quote serves as a reminder of the intricate relationship between the structure and function of our bodies, highlighting the importance of maintaining their balance for overall health and well-being.”

Hi everyone, I’m , a French Osteopathic Manual Therapist and studied Osteopathy for five years in the south of France.

What I love about osteopathy: Working with people of all ages everyday and supporting them throughout their life’s journey.

Some facts about me:
I lived in Alberta for two years
I am a climbing and outdoor activities lover
I dream of visiting Japan

I’m thrilled to join the Ananta Wellness & Osteopathy team and to get to know you too soon!

In his insightful quote, Andrew Taylor Still emphasizes the unity and interconnectedness of the human body. He highlights that our bodies are not simply a collection of individual parts, but rather a cohesive and integrated whole.

Each component of the body relies on and impacts the others, forming a harmonious system where the overall well-being is dependent on the functioning of each part. From our muscles and bones to our organs and tissues, every element serves a distinct purpose in maintaining our health and vitality.

Still’s words remind us to appreciate the delicate balance and interdependence that exists within our bodies, which reinforces the need for holistic care and a comprehensive understanding of human anatomy.
