What Should I Wear When I Come For Treatment?

Please wear comfortable clothes (no jeans). As you may be asked to remove your shirt and/or pants, make sure to wear appropriate underwear.

 

What Can I Expect From A Treatment?

The focus on whole body diagnosis and treatment is key to healing. Treatments are thus never the same and the areas that are treated are not necessarily those that hurt. Because of the nature of the osteopathic treatment, treatment time may be shorter or longer than the previous visit.

The actual treatment is done by the body itself in the weeks following an appointment, so patients are usually seen only every two or three weeks.

It is impossible to know in advance how many appointments are needed. It depends on the patient's health, the nature of the problem, and the body's capacity to respond to the treatment. If a patient does not experience any improvement of his or her condition after three treatments, the treatment course is usually discontinued.

 

Gentle. Treatments use only a light touch on the body. They are non-intrusive and provide a pleasant experience.
 

Safe. Craniosacral therapy and osteopathy are designed to restore the natural healing and self-correcting mechanisms of the body. No force. No massage. No risk.
Effective. The therapist just facilitates the patient's own healing process. The actual treatment is done by the body after an appointment and is remarkably effective.
Mind/Body/Emotions. The body retains the memory of physical and emotional trauma. When an emotion or the memory of trauma are locked in a tissue, they prevent the tissue to heal completely. SomatoEmotional Release is an effective way to release any stressful energy and emotions that inhibit the complete healing of long lasting and chronic pains, dysfunctions, diseases, or discomforts.
