Frequently Asked Questions
-
An Osteopathic Manual Practitioner uses hands-on assessment and treatment to identify areas of restriction and improve movement and function throughout the body. I provides personalized osteopathic care at NeuMovement in Glenmore, Kelowna.
-
Osteopathic treatment may be helpful for people experiencing musculoskeletal pain, mobility restrictions, tension headaches, postural strain, repetitive stress injuries, pregnancy-related discomfort and recovery from physical activity.
-
It depends on your individual needs and health goals. Some people benefit from weekly sessions during the early stages of treatment or recovery, while others may only need occasional maintenance visits every few weeks or months. After an initial assessment, I will recommend a personalized treatment plan based on your body, lifestyle, and progress.
-
Many people begin to notice improvements after just one or two sessions—such as reduced pain, improved mobility, or a greater sense of balance. However, the timeline can vary depending on your condition, how long it’s been present, and how your body responds to treatment. Some issues may require a few consistent sessions to see lasting results. I will work with you to create a personalized plan that supports steady, long-term improvement.
-
Both osteopathy and chiropractic care use hands-on treatment, but the approaches and techniques can differ. My practice focuses on looking at the body as a whole and how different areas may influence movement and function.
-
Your first appointment begins with a conversation about your concerns, health history and goals. I'll then assess your movement and areas of restriction before providing individualized hands-on treatment. I'll also explain what I'm finding and answer any questions you have.
