Sorting out your structure

Does anyone know exactly what it is that an osteopath does?

I sure don't, but I hear the results are fantastic.

It has to do with moving bones, muscles, organs....and getting everything into their proper place. Or something like that.

I am going to find out and let you know

I have an appointment of my own on February 20th with an osteopath in Toronto and I am going to document what it's all about here for you to read.

Why am I doing this?

Because I have found that most of my naturopathic modalities stop at the point where someone needs their structure taken care of. And so I need to refer out for most of that, but I don't know how to explain it to patients.

If you have had your structure looked at and you end up in my office, my treatments will be much more effective.  And if you are one of my patients, I just very well may want to refer you to an osteopath at some point and I am hoping this will be a great source of information for you.

I've only sent one person so far

I have sent one patient to an osteopath so far and the results have been amazing. I sent this patient only because they had a lot of tailbone pain and I know that osteopaths apparently work very well with this type of pain. The changes in this patient have been amazing.

So I got to thinking...

I used to fall on my tailbone as a way of life - hardwood stairs, concrete stairs - you name it. And, as evidenced by my yoga postures, I could be a bit more limber.

And so to the osteopath I go...Feb 20th....I'll keep you posted!

I look forward to hearing your comments on this because I am likely seeing an osteopath soon since I have been having some pelvis problems.
