CANADA FORMS:
WHAT TO WEAR: You should wear or bring a t-shirt and stretchy shorts or pants that can be pulled up several inches above your knees.
SCENT FREE OFFICE: Please avoid wearing any scented perfumes or lotions. We are a scent free office as several patients have sensitivities to smells and some scents can be counterproductive to the work we do.
FIRST APPOINTMENT: Your first appointment will take approximately 75- 90 minutes. Our goal is to use this time to talk through what current health concerns or pain issues you have and go through your detailed health history. After that, we will evaluate your posture, flexibility and range of movements and then determine what course of action would be best in terms of osteopathic care and palpation. In general, we look for the primary area of influence that is causing you discomfort.
In some instances, we will work on the full body, other times we will concentrate on a specific area like low back, head/neck or upper chest. After your first visit is complete, Helen will discuss what type of treatment plan will be most beneficial for you for sustained results. She will walk through the short and long term benefits and may give you simple assignments you can do at home to help enhance your results.
SUBSEQUENT APPOINTMENTS: Ongoing appointments will take approximately 45 mins to one hour. You should plan to arrive 10 or so minutes prior to your appointment so that you can take advantage of the full body infrared heating pad before your treatment. This helps relax your body and studies show the infrared heat penetrates 1.5 inches into the body to release muscle tension and pain and can also calms the nerve sheath and the nerve.
