What to Expect with Victoria

Victoria works with both women and men and her treatment incorporates osteopathic manual therapy and kinesiology to remove restrictions within the body and optimize its function with corrective exercises. The main types of osteopathic techniques used include joint mobilizations, cranial-sacral work, fascial release, mobilization of the viscera (the guts!), and post-surgical scar treatment. Treatment will consist of a mix of these techniques depending on each person's complaints and goals.

Your First Visit

When you book your initial visit, you will be emailed a link to complete our intake form. Please fill it in prior to coming in. This will give Victoria prior knowledge of the matter at hand, as well as a full health history that allows her to know what modifications might be needed, or if this treatment is right for you.

What to wear: 

Please come in or bring active wear to change into.

Ladies: wear clothes you can move in - sports bra, activewear are best. Try to avoid wearing skirts, dresses, or jeans.

Men: Pair of shorts and T-shirt is best.

Assessment and treatment will be done with the patient clothed as such. Jeans, thick clothing makes things too difficult! Dresses leave a lot of room for over-exposure.

Osteopathic Assessment: 

1) Interview of the patient - we will go over the health history form and touch on the pertinent parts.

2) Performing a complete osteopathic assessment - Some testing will be done in standing, seated, or lying down.

3) Assessing the position, mobility, and quality of certain tissues, fluids, and rhythms of the body.

Treatment will follow within the remainder of the time. This includes manual therapy to help release fascial tightness, structural adjustments, cranial-sacral applications, and/or visceral manipulation.

Subsequent Visits

Subsequent visits should be booked at least a week after the previous visit, to allow your body to integrate the changes from the treatment. Typical frequency of treatments are about 2-3 weeks apart.

Continue to bring your active wear. A more streamlined assessment will be still made followed by treatment.
