Massage Therapy is a drug-free, non-invasive NATURAL THERAPY used to develop, maintain, restore and optimize health in the soft tissues of the body, through hands-on manipulation of muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments and joints. All systems in the body interact with each another. As we change in one area, we have the ability to effect change elsewhere in the body.
Nancy graduated from the University of Toronto in 1993, and from the Canadian College of Massage & Hydrotherapy where she specialized in Sports Massage Therapy and received two Outstanding Achievement awards for her academic and clinical work. Nancy completed her post-graduate in Osteopathy and received her five-year Diploma in Osteopathy from the Canadian College of Osteopathy (CCO).
All systems in the body interact with each another. As we change in one area, we have the ability to effect other changes in the body. By manipulating soft tissues using Massage Therapy techniques, we pick up additional information. Signs of inflammation, adhesions, texture, temperature differences are important clues that show us what is happening in the body.
Osteopathy is unique in that it focuses on the cause of pain and dysfunction rather than concentrating only on the symptoms. A system of assessing how our 11 systems are functioning - alone, and together - osteopathic treatment focuses on removing restrictions that prevent parts of the body from fulfilling their natural function - preventing you from feeling fit and healthy.
I'll ask you some easy questions, all about you. Any personal and health information you provide to me is completely confidential and is safeguarded for privacy. Our goal is to do some initial 'detective work' to find out a little more about the injury or problem.
We'll use various tests to determine the condition of your muscles and joints, including some positional, mobility, and orthopedic testing - using easy movements - to pinpoint your specific symptoms, and more importantly, to figure out the cause of the problem.After assessing you, I'll propose a treatment for that same appointment, and an ongoing personalized treatment plan, based on your specific goals.
