This is one of my favourite definititons of health.
When we think of health we often associate it with mostly physical traits…. There are SO many other factors that play into a person’s overall health. Mental and social aspects have HUGE impacts on someone’s overall health as well.

This past year has been so challenging for people to connect with one another and live mentally and socially complete lives. We have dealt with isolation, fear, anxiety and many other traumas that have arisen from this pandemic. Personally, I have really struggled this past year with my mental health, and I am willing to bet there are a lot of you out there that are in the same boat as I am.

This is why, this year I have chosen to participate in the CAMH Sunrise Challenge. My team and I will be fundraising to help support the great work that CAMH does for our community. Join me and my team (Osteo Genie) from May 31st until June 6th on social media to see .

Donations can be made online at http://give.camh.ca/site/TR/Events/2021SunriseChallenge?team_id=4813&pg=team&fr_id=1180.

Please join us in supporting CAMH and the work that they do to help everyone live complete, healthy lives!

In addition to offering manual osteopathy services I am also certified in kinesiology taping!

Kinesiology taping allows for decompression of the tissues underneath the skin, can improve lymphatic drainage and blood flow, as well as decrease pain.

Taping had a wide variety of uses and when used as part of a manual therapy program can help facilitate healing.

Thank you so much to for allowing me the opportunity to practice on you!

🌳Osteopathic philosophy is based on several principles...all which relate to total body wellness.

🌳Key elements of the osteopathic philosophy are, the body is a UNIT and that all structures INTERRELATE to one another.

🌳Osteopathic philosophy also considers the body as its own SELF-REGULATING and HEALING unit.

🌳Manual osteopaths believe that by helping restore the natural balance of the body, we can help set the body up to heal and correct itself.

🌳By restoring the normal flow of body fluids (such as blood, lymph and cerebrospinal fluids), helping to mobilize and loosen ligaments and promoting proper nervous system function, manual osteopath’s can aide in the natural healing of the body 🙌🧘‍♀️

Manual osteopaths can help treat a wide variety of conditions.
Any condition where pain or decreased mobility are symptoms, or where a patient’s quality of life is impacted can be helped by manual osteopathy.

But did you know it’s not just for pain?? By keeping ligaments and muscles loose and pliable and promoting good body fluid distribution, and nervous system functioning, manual osteopaths help to promote overall wellness in patients as well!

Whether you are living with a chronic condition, or if you are just looking to increase your overall wellness, give osteopathy a try!

~The 5 Tenants of Natural Healing~

These tenants are the basis for osteopathy and practitioners try to follow them when ever possible.

The body is a remarkable unit, and it is the belief of manual osteopaths that our bodies are able to heal themselves, to a certain extent. By activating the natural healing mechanisms of the body we can allow that healing to take place.

Did you know that the practice of osteopathy has been around for hundreds of years? Despite its longevity and the many practices that have stemmed from it, manual osteopathy is still not well known. People often ask me, so what is it you actually do? Please keep reading below to learn a little bit more about what osteopathy involves!

Osteopathy is a gentle and effective treatment that focuses on restoring the body’s natural ability to heal itself. It follows the philosophy that structure and function are interrelated, and an imbalance in one part of the body may cause pain or dysfunction elsewhere.
Manual osteopathic treatment works to restore proper function and biomechanics of the body using techniques such as joint mobilization, muscle energy techniques, soft tissue therapies, myofascial release and craniosacral techniques.
Manual osteopaths, like myself, use these techniques to increase blood flow and restore proper circulation of fluids to tissues, decrease muscle spasms and tissue tightness, and restore mobility and range of motion to joints.

It is greatly beneficial to those people who suffer from chronic pain and illness. Stay tuned for more posts on how osteopathy may be able to help you, as well as the philosophy behind it!

Meet Michelle!
Michelle is a manual osteopathic practitioner and is the owner of Natural Wellness Osteopathy.

After several horseback riding accidents in her younger years, Michelle struggled with chronic neck and back pain. Finding little relief from traditional modalities such as chiropractic and massage therapy, Michelle finally decided to give osteopathy a try. Shocked at the difference just 1 treatment made, she decided to pursue a career in manual osteopathy.

Michelle graduated from the National Academy of Osteopathy in the summer of 2020 with a DOMP. She is also trained and certified in Cupping and Kinesiology Taping.
She has a solid foundation in the assessment and treatment of many conditions and hopes to open an Osteopathy Chronic Pain Clinic in the fall of 2020 to specialize in the treatment of patients with chronic pain conditions.

Prior to her education as a manual osteopath, Michelle received her Bachelor of Science Degree in Zoology from the University of Guelp in 2013. In her spare time she enjoys spending time with her dog, Cooper and her horse, Tie. She also enjoys hiking, gardening and yoga.

For any inquiries about appointments, the practice of osteopathy, and how it can help you please contact Michelle!
