UK Osteopathy in Victoria, British Columbia

"Why should I see a British Osteopath with three decades of practice and a Master's degree in pain and movement?"

Funny you should ask, read on...

Acute Pain

Acute injuries, surprisingly to many, will heal by themselves, but you only get one chance to do it to the best of your ability, and that's in the first few days or weeks. Sure it will heal, but what if you could have someone guide you through the early stage of the acute pain, the following two to three weeks of inflammation, and the remaining 6 weeks to three months of total tissue repair? Have as much or as little help as you feel you need. You'd like to be perfect, so give yourself the best chance possible.

Chronic Pain

Chronic pain is sadly something that rarely disappears entirely, but we can improve it and make your day-to-day function and activities more bearable and even enjoyable. Combining treatments, education/understanding of what is really happening to you, and looking for numerous cheats and ideas that you never considered (or were erroneously told "were bad for you") can make a massive difference for so many of us. You don't expect to be perfect, so let's start off with "less bad" and build from there.

Optimization

We are all growing older and getting stiffer. What if you could have someone assess your movements and 'cherry pick' the stiffer areas that you cannot do for yourself while you continue getting on with life? Marc can help you eke out those extra years of movement and optimise your related pains (he calls it, "growing old disgracefully"). Arthritis, disc bulges and changing postures develop in everyone as we age, so don't give yourself a hard time for being normal. You don't need to be perfect, good will do just fine.

What People Say

It's like having your own expert tutor! Marc has made me think SO differently about how my pain works and it has completely changed my life!

I like the way that he uses different techniques and doesn't always want to crack my joints. His 45-minute treatments compared to others have been awesome as he checks everything each time.

I was really surprised that he said it was OK to do things the "wrong way" if it didn't hurt. Everyone else was telling me to do it "properly", but now I can do what I want with less pain!
