https://youtu.be/AkNks9JLdck As an Osteopathic Practitioner I work with people experiencing many different ailments, from depression & anxiety, to acute & chronic digestive problems, to serious health concerns and so forth. Although my treatments involve a hands-on, manual approach for these issues, I still address food & lifestyle choices with my patients. Since what you put in your body directly affects its physiology, your food intake is a key consideration in any treatmen...t & the more on pointe you are with what you eat, the more benefit you receive from osteopathic treatment. Take a look at this 20 minute video to learn more about why cutting down on your sugar intake is an important step in restoring, and maintaining, your health at all levels & how you can do this at home. Although it may be a challenge at first, stop to ask yourself "What is my health worth?" Isn't it time you started investing in yourself?

What would happen if we all got out of our heads & stepped into our hearts? What if the eyes aren't the windows to the soul but the heart is the lens through which the soul sees? Imagine how different you would see your Self & the world. Perhaps you would treat your Self with more love & respect. After all, if you don't, who will? An important part of Osteopathy is to see yourself & Self for who you truly are, embracing all parts of the Self. The emotional body is just as ...important as the physical body, if not more so. Trapped emotions can lead to physical ailments & in some cases severe illness, which in turn can alter how you experience life. Osteopathy is able to help release trapped emotions from the body along with the associated physical tension & pain. Many people find once they start moving towards clearing these old energies, they have more energy for their life and loved ones. And isn't that what it's all about? Loving life to the max, & seeing all the joy and beauty it has to offer!!! #osteopathy #lovinglife #windowtothesoul #visceralmanipulation #cranialsacral #imagine #emotions #nomorepain #release #psychology #psychologicalhealth #healthyliving #healthymind #healthysoul #itsabeautifulday #thejoyoflife #happywednesday #summersolstice2017 #mindbodyspirit See more

The Importance of Self-Care -Candace Kakowchyk, D.O.M.P., D.Sc.O Over the past week I’ve been suffering from a sinus cold. It’s been an unpleasant flashback to just over a year ago when I ended up in an autoimmune crisis from too much stress, not enough sleep, poor nutrition and, ultimately, a severe lack of self-care. I’ve been trying to recover from this ever since with a few setbacks. After my move to Vancouver at the end of February ...Continue reading

Perhaps one of the most common questions I am asked by new and prospective patients is Candace, when should I see an Osteopathic Practitioner? What can you help with? My response is: EVERYTHING!!! Osteopathy is a gentle, natural, hands-on therapy that respects each patient as an integrated whole. Osteopathy aims to restore balance, movement and function to the body through various therapeutic manual techniques, including cranial-sacral therapy, visceral manipulation, struct...ural realignment, and soft tissue manipulation. Osteopathy considers all aspects of the individual and their complaint: physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. In this manner, Osteopathy nurtures everyone in a safe, unique and customized way, ultimately contributing to the body’s ability to return to, and maintain, its natural state of optimal health. There are many reasons to see an Osteopathic Practitioner. First, and foremost, the goal of every treatment and treatment plan is to uncover and address the root cause of the complaint. Osteopathy is a natural, effective, non-invasive, drug-free treatment, that helps the body adapt to various physical changes, such as pregnancy, and recover from accident and injury. However, specific conditions and complaints can be alleviated with the help of your Osteopathic Practitioner. These include: Digestive complaints (i.e., constipation, gas/bloating, & IBS) Muscle/joint problems (i.e., sprains/strains & back pain) Respiratory issues (i.e., asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia) Headaches Concussion management TMJ problems Anxiety and depression management Stress relief Cold/flu/sinus infections Pre/post: surgery, dental work, pregnancy care Poor immune system functioning And much, much more!!! Book your appointment today to learn more about Osteopathy and discover how it can help you function at your best! Your body is your vehicle for this lifetime and it’s important to keep it tuned up and well maintained. Remember: an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure and means the difference between driving a broken-down beater or a sleek, well-oiled Lamborghini. Which one would you rather be driving? Yours in health, Candace Kakowchyk, D.O.M.P., D.Sc.O.
