At SB Wellness we are excited to announce some new therapy advancements launching in the New Year on February 1st 2025. Throughout the past 18 months I have been obtaining my diploma certification and licensing in Manual Osteopathic Therapy. As you may know - I am passionate about assessing and treating the root cause of your pain and discomfort. Osteopathic therapy allows me the ability to do so by focusing on the health and wellness of the whole body - not just the painful area or seemingly affected part. Where massage therapy generally focuses on improving muscular imbalance and decreasing spasm, osteopathic therapy techniques can help to correct skeletal misalignments and fascial restrictions. As well as improving nervous system function, restoring blood flow, increasing range of motion, improving organ function, encouraging lymphatic drainage and promoting cerebrospinal fluid flow, manual osteopathic therapy can help to identify and improve underlying issues that may be contributing to your pain. It is therefore a PERFECT addition in conjunction with massage therapy. My license takes effect January 1st, and I’m looking forward to introducing this important practice into each of your treatment sessions. After February 1st, all appointments will incorporate a combination of massage therapy and/ or manual osteopathic modalities as deemed necessary upon careful assessment and communication with you at the start of your session. Each session will be 75 minutes at a cost of $140. Our invoicing will adjust accordingly to reflect both massage therapy and osteopathy based on the treatments provided and how we use your time within your session. I am so passionate about what these techniques can add to your experience that I will no longer be booking appointments exclusively dedicated to massage therapy alone. I encourage you to review your extended medical plans as many have “osteopathy” as a covered service. I thank you for your understanding and open-mindedness through this important transition in our practice. As always, please reach out with any questions. For more details on manual osteopathic therapy, please reach out to the clinic via text or email and we will be happy to forward you some information.
