Whatever the challenges you’re facing in 2021, just 15 minutes of physical activity can help improve your mood.

The practice of manual osteopathy is currently unregulated in BC (it’s something we’re working on!) so it's important you know what type of education your Osteo...pathic Practitioner holds. OBC’s educational standards are in line with countries where osteopathy is a regulated health profession as well as The World Health Organization's benchmarks for training in osteopathy. Why does this matter? It matters because a patient’s safety is our top priority. To find a qualified OBC Practitioner, please go here: https://www.osteopathybc.ca/member-map #osteopathy #osteopathybc #britishcolumbia #manualosteopathy #osteopathicpractitioner

An estimated 1 in every 165 adults suffers a concussion each year in Canada. Many physiotherapists in BC treat patients with concussions daily. Which is why ...we’re sharing two updated resources for physiotherapists and their patients. Learn about them here: http://bit.ly/3bJ9wUL

Osteopathic practitioners can help make sense of it all: mobility, pain, posture, stress management and exercise. Did you know that OBC osteopathic practitioner...s have multiple years of post-secondary training and can support you in many facets of health? We are excited to share with you in the coming weeks, some of the most common issues that we can help you manage. You are in skilled hands with OBC. #osteopathy #osteopathybc #britishcolumbia #manualosteopathy #osteopathicpractitioner

The cold, dark winter months are known for negatively affecting our mood. Because winter is unavoidable, try making some small lifestyle changes to help lift yo...ur spirits: get some daylight, eat a well-balanced diet, maintain a regular sleep schedule, and be physically active every day. Try a noon-hour walk to get the combined benefits of exercise and daylight. #EverythingGetsBetter #StayActiveStayHealthy See more

Happy BC Day, everyone! Who else is feeling grateful to live in such a stunning place? If youre lucky enough to have today off, were wishing you a socially-distanced day of fun, relaxation, and bliss.

A long weekend is a great time to enjoy the outdoors.

Because perfection isn't actually that great.

In all things of nature, there is something of the marvelous. The rules of hiking and hiking etiquette have changed. And theres more to it than just physical d...istancing. Heres what we think you need to know: Maintain a distance of at least two metres from anyone who is not a member of your household. When on the trail with your family, allow other users enough space to maintain two metres of physical distance. Keep to the right and walk single file if passing others. On shared trails, mountain bikers and cyclists yield to hikers and pedestrians. When passing on the left, slow down or come to a complete stop, allowing enough time and space for others to re-orient themselves on the trail. If possible, avoid using popular trails and paths during the busiest times of day, or explore a lesser-known area. #StayActiveStayHealthy #EverythingGetsBetter See more
