It is important to note that Manual Osteopathy is not a substitute for medical treatment; in some cases, it is best used as adjunctive therapy along with conventional medical treatment. Therefore, it is important to consult a qualified osteopath to assess if Manual Osteopathy is the best treatment for your condition.

Your First Visit

You will spend about 1 to 2 hours at the first appointment.

During this time, your case history will be detailed, including questions about your presenting problem, general health, past medical history, family history, and social history. This information-gathering is important for the therapist to understand your overall health and create a personalized treatment plan.

For the comfort and benefit of your assessment, wear comfortable clothing, such as T-shirts, tank tops, shorts, or yoga pants, as it will allow the therapist to assess your body and its structures visually.

Avoid wearing jeans, pants, or belts.

A Complete Body Assessment Do not expect the therapist to only focus on your presenting symptom. They will complete body assessments and address any structural and soft tissue abnormalities found during the evaluation. Most patients feel improvement after their first session. You may experience fatigue, pain, or body aches for the first 48 hours after treatment, but this is a normal part of the healing process.

Having a balanced diet and consuming enough fluid before and after the treatment is important.

Recovery and Follow-Up Sessions

The recovery process may take 4-6 follow-up sessions, although sometimes only 1-2 sessions are needed.

Many factors influence the recovery process.

Contraindications

There are certain situations where Manual Osteopathy may not be appropriate or should be used with caution. Some contraindications to Manual Osteopathy include:

Patients with a bleeding disorder or on a blood thinner.

Fracture

Osteoporosis / Osteopenia

Undiagnosed mass in the body

Please consult a manual osteopathic therapist to rule out any contraindications.

Are you a grandparent? Don’t fall victim to this rising scam

(NC) The grandparent scam, also called the emergency scam, isn’t new. But attempts at this scam are on the rise, so it’s more important than ever to be aware of the risks and how to spot the signs.

This is how the grandparent scam works:

Impersonating a friend, neighbour or family member - often a grandchild

- a fraudster phones in a panic saying they’re in trouble and that they need money sent to them immediately. Often the scenario involves an accident or arrest while travelling abroad. Often the fraudster will say “Don't tell my parents” and “You're the only one who can help.” Before the victim can recognize the voice, the phone is handed over to an accomplice pretending to be their attorney or representative.

Wanting to help their grandchild, the fraudster’s expectation which sometimes occurs is the victim sends the money requested and often doesn’t verify the story until later. But once the money is sent, there is often no way to get it back.

“To avoid becoming a victim of the grandparent scam, or any scam, never share information with an unknown caller and make sure to verify who you’re speaking to and the legitimacy of their story before you complete any transactions involving money,” says Kevin Purkiss, vice president, fraud management at RBC. mYnUal EstIEpYQI mYnUal QYrypI df iewk dvfeI-mukq, rUp hY jo srIr dI bxqr aqy kfrj nUM ibhqr bxfAux leI hwQ-pYr dIaF qknIkF, ijvyN ik, gqIÈIlqf, nrm itÈU QYrypI, stRYicMg, aqy hor srIrk hivDIaF dI vrqoN krdI hY. ieh EstIEpYiQk qknIkF msUkloskyltl siQqIaF df indfn aqy ielfj krdIaF hn ijvyN ik purfxI drd, pfcn smwisafvF, sfh sMbMDI ivkfr, isr drd, ipwT drd, grdn df drd, aqy mnoivigafnk smwisafvF. mYnual EstIEpYQI drd nUM GtfAux, gqIÈIlqf vDfAux aqy ielfj nUM AuqÈfihq krn leI msUkloskyltl pRxflI ivwc mYnual EstIEpYQI iehnF nfl mdd kr skdI hY: isr drd, mfeIgryn gMBIr drd pfcn sMbMDI smwisafvF sfh sMbMDI ivkfr qxfa, icMqf, AudfsI
