Osteopathic Treatment

A couple of weeks ago, I started seeing an osteopath.  This is a form of manual treatment that is very, very gentle.  The osteopath uses very fine movements to encourage the body to re-align itself.  These movements also teach the body to heal itself.  Since I have started seeing my osteopath, I have had a lot more energy.  This is causing somewhat more pain, probably because the extra energy is causing me to want to do more.  So now I am in the process of relearning my boundaries.

Lee Jarvis is my osteopath.  He is a 4th year student at the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy in Hamilton, ON.  By working with a student, I am not only being treated with all the newest information but I am also helping him get his clinic hours as well as being a model for assignments.  His latest assignment is find some patients who have never been treated by an osteopath so he can monitor before and after treatments.  The assignment includes 5 free treatments.  If you are interested, you can contact Lee directly at LeeTBJarvis@gmail.com or call/text 905-220-8491.  You can also let me know and I'll pass your information on to Lee.
