What is Psychotherapy? Psychotherapy occurs when the Registered Psychotherapist (RP) and client enter into a psychotherapeutic relationship where both work together to bring about positive change in the client’s thinking, feeling, behaviours and social functioning. Individuals usually seek psychotherapy when they have thoughts, feelings, moods and behaviours that are adversely affecting their day-to-day lives, relationships and the ability to enjoy life. CRPO

What is Osteopathy? Manual Osteopathy could be described as holistic manual medicine. It focuses on osteopathic diagnosis and treatment of the whole physical body to improve physiological functioning. Osteopathic manual practitioners (also known as manual osteopaths) are different than American style osteopathic physicians (who perform surgery and prescribe medicine). Manual Osteopaths assess and treat the entire person and not just the asymptomatic region. This comprehensive... approach is taken because the primary root of the problem may be remote from the symptoms. For example, a patient with headache will be assessed structurally from head to toe through a holistic approach. Flat feet (root cause) > functional leg length discrepancy > pelvic torsion > scoliosis > cervicogenic tension headache (symptom) Who can Benefit? Osteopathy is very effective in treating neuro-musculo-skeletal disorders such as: Back pain Neck pain Sciatica Sports injuries Postural strain (great treatment for office workers) Osteopathy treatments are beneficial for people of all ages from infants to children, adults, and elderly. Eight Principles of Osteopathy There are eight major principles of manual osteopathy that are practiced by the international osteopathic community. 1. The body is a unit 2. Structure and function are reciprocally inter-related 3. The body possesses self-regulatory mechanisms 4. The body has the inherent capacity to defend and repair itself 5. When the normal adaptability is disrupted, or when environmental changes overcome the body’s capacity for self maintenance, disease may ensue. 6. The movement of body fluids is essential to the maintenance of health 7. The nerves play a crucial part in controlling the fluids of the body 8. There are somatic components to disease that are not only manifestations of disease, but also are factors that contribute to maintenance of the disease state. When applied in practice, Osteopathy could make significant health improvements. The World Health Organisation (WHO) also recognized the Osteopathic concept of somatic dysfunction as being scientifically proven, and the British Medical Association too recognized Osteopathy as its own health discipline. We-Fix-U’s experienced Osteopathic manual practitioners will take a holistic approach to carefully assess your condition, optimize your body’s structural balance, and improve your body’s overall performance.

The importance of Spinal Health Your body’s nervous system is protected by the spine. Our nervous system travels between the vertebrae of joints of the spine to... deliver messages from the brain to every other body part. Stress and strain on the vertebrae can put pressure on the nerves in the affected area causing symptoms of pain in other parts of the body. How many treatments will it take to get better? Your We-Fix-U Chiropractor will be better able to address this during your initial assessment. The number and frequency of adjustments vary from patient to patient. Most patients see some progress within a week or two. Many people discover the value of ongoing chiropractic checkups to avoid further deterioration.

What is Rotator Cuff Injury? The Rotator cuff is a group of four muscles that move and stabilize the shoulder. These muscles include the supraspinatus, infraspi...natus, teres minor and subscapularis. When these muscles or their tendons are damaged it can cause pain along the front or side of the arm and neck pain. Other symptoms include inability to lift the above shoulder level or to reach behind your back. Treatment Treatment for rotator cuff tendinopathy includes rest, ice, range of motion and strengthening exercises. REST- As with most injuries to the arm it is important to limit heavy lifting. With the rotator cuff we also have to avoid overhead activities such as lifting something off a shelf and repetitive activities such as painting. ICE can be placed on the shoulder to reduce swelling. This is particularly important immediately after you perform an activity that causes you pain to prevent swelling in the rst place. We will show some range of motion and strengthening exercises in our next post. So stay tuned!

Did you know that Physiotherapy can help.. Vertigo: Vertigo is a spinning sensation and can occur even when you are perfectly still. The most common form of vertigo is benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). This is a mechanical inner ear problem that causes short periods of this spinning sensation when the head is moved in certain positions. When treated by a PT, positional vertigo can be eliminated in as little as one session. Concussion: In recent years, concussions ...have received a lot of attention in the news as doctors and athletes are seeking ways to manage long term problems brought on by a concussion. These long term issues can include dizziness/vertigo, balance problems, or complaints of headaches, all of which can be treated by a PT. There is a very specific balance of returning to normal activities with symptom management to allow the individual who had the concussion to fully recover. Temporomandibular joint dysfunction, or jaw pain: Jaw pain can be due to many different problems, but one of the biggest includes poor posture which leads to increased stress on the joint. A PT can address postural issues, assess and improve the alignment of the joint, as well as improve joint mobility to reduce pain. Headaches: There are many different type of headaches including tension headaches, migraines and cluster headaches to name a few. Often times, headaches can become a very frequent occurrence that affects a persons ability to function on a daily basis. The most common type of headaches may be caused by poor posture, stress, muscle tightness, or a neck injury. A PT can help to determine the type of headaches and what the best treatments may be to help alleviate symptoms. A PT can perform manual massage to help loosen up tight muscles and can teach the patient about proper posture of the neck and upper body to decrease stress and tension through this area that might be leading to these headaches. Lymphedema: Lymphedema is swelling that may occur in the arms and legs that is stemming from your lymphatic system. It is very common after certain type of cancer treatments, such as breast cancer, where lymph nodes may be removed. A trained PT can perform certain types of lymphatic drainage massage or use certain wrapping techniques to help decrease swelling in a limb.

Around and around and around and around and aroundDo you remember spinning yourself around as a child, purposefully trying to create that feeling of a spinning room? Fortunately, this fun self-induced room spinning only lasts for a few brief seconds and then disappears. Many people, however, feel this type of dizziness chronically. Without any known triggers, this dizziness can occur spontaneously and last for hours, or even days. Vertigo and dizziness is actually not a t...rue diagnosis but is a symptom of a problem in your Vestibular System the part of your inner ear or brain that controls your balance and eye movement. You may feel a sense that you or your environment is moving or spinning, even though it isn’t. You might feel lightheaded, or like you are floating or rocking. Some people feel as though they are heavy or are being pulled in one direction. Many problems of the Vestibular System are caused by injury, disease, your environment or may be genetic. We-Fix-U Physiotherapy and Foot Health Centres have locations in Cobourg, Port Hope, Peterborough, Bowmanville, and Oshawa, Ontario. They provide services in Physiotherapy, Foot Health (Chiropody), Massage Therapy, and Chiropractic Care.

Shockwave therapy uses low energy acoustic waves to accelerate the body’s own natural healing responses. Energy pulses generated by the shockwave trigger higher metabolism, blood circulation, and breakdown of calcific deposits found in joints and tissues. In turn, this leads to faster and long-term healing of the damaged tissues. This modern treatment method has evolved over the years since it’s initial discovery for breaking down kidney stones. It has since evolved through n...umerous scientific studies and now serve a very different purpose, to treat chronic tendonitis. Who Can Benefit? Shockwave therapy, also known as extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is commonly used to treat muscoloskeletal conditions involving connectives tissues like ligaments and tendons. This offers another option for practitioners to deal with conditions that don’t respond to traditional treatment. Shockwave therapy has shown great results in treating pain from sports injury, strain, and overuse in the areas of: Shoulder calcific tendonitis of rotator cuffs Back pain lumbar, cervical spine regions, and chronic muscular pain Hip bursitis Knee patellar tendonitis jumper’s knee Feet heel spurs, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis Upper leg Iliotibial band friction syndrome Lower leg shin splints Other benefits of shockwave therapy (ESWT): Non invasive and non surgical Affordable Anesthesia or drugs not required Accelerated healing Overall, shockwave therapy offers a great alternate treatment option for stubborn tendonitis and injuries where the human body has not been able to heal on its own. Our highly trained shockwave therapy practitioners at We-Fix-U Cobourg will thoroughly assess your condition to determine the best treatment option.
