Experience Your Vitality

Erin and James both are currently students of the Canadian College of Osteopathy (CCO). Their treatments work to restore movement to areas of restriction in the body in a gentle, non-invasive way reducing stresses on the body’s tissues which contribute to pain and discomfort. Treatment using this approach are provided while the client is fully clothed (in flexible, comfortable clothing) and no oils are used.

At the beginning of each treatment, a assessment of posture, muscle balance, joint function of the spine and pelvis are observed and documented. Gentle techniques are used to release and realign the body, enhance circulation and lymphatic flow to improve mobility by freeing restrictions within joints and muscles allowing the body's healing abilities to work more efficiently.

Treatments are focused on the cause of the symptoms rather than symptoms. Clients are often surprised how the area where their discomfort is felt is not necessarily the source. Instead of chasing the symptoms, the origin is sought out. The goal of this style of treatment is to restore movement and function to the body.

Key Areas included are: 
· Bone and joint alignment: discomfort can be the result of a bone or joint coming out of its normal alignment. We use gentle techniques to guide it back to place. Common bone and joint issues are found in the feet, hips, neck, or ribs.

· Soft tissue treatment: soft tissue or "fascial" treatment works at a deep level to treat the whole chain of tissue. Oftentimes pain shows up further from the original source than you'd think. Fascial treatment can unlock chains of tissue and is known to provide immense relief from issues like tennis elbow, TMJ, carpel-tunnel, or knee pain. 

Craniosacral therapy: craniosacral deals with the cranium, the sacrum, and the spinal column. Craniosacral therapy assists restrictions along the dural tube, as well as the nerves which exit the spine. This approach can be helpful for symptoms of insomnia, headaches, stress, spinal cord injuries, or fibromyalgia. 

· Visceral treatment: Gentle techniques applied to the soft tissue surrounding viscera and organs to improve circulation, function and to get rid of scar tissue. Common issues visceral work can assist with are digestive problems, abdominal cramps, IBS, or fertility issues.
Based on the belief that the body is capable of improving itself, it involves soft and gentle hands on approach to improve the functioning of the human body self regulating abilities. This process involves removing any mechanical misalignments impeding circulation and global integration of the body’s systems, fluids, and structures.

​Erin and James do not diagnose or practice medicine. Nor do they attempt to treat disease. Their techniques utilize a hands-on approach to alleviate tension and remove restrictions in our body’s system to help relieve discomfort and improve mobility. If you are concerned about any medical pathology/disease, always consult your physician prior to exploring any manual treatment.
