The end of the year is rapidly approaching. If your insurance coverage ends on December 31st it is a good idea to utilize your benefits before they expire and the new year begins. It is always a busy time of year so it is best not to wait until the last minute to book your appointments; you can conveniently schedule your appointments at MOA Living online. Year-end is also a good time to construct an outline of your health goals for 2020. You and your health should be one of your biggest priorities.
This plan doesn't have to be written in stone. However, having a comprehensive understanding of your benefits will allow you to maximize your coverage and optimize your health. At MOA Living there is now a physiotherapist available to help. While osteopathy and massage therapy can moderate, mitigate and mediate, physiotherapy has the capacity of being able to motivate people into the movement.
You are likely already familiar with the DOMP (osteopath), Candice, as well as the two Registered Massage Therapists, Ryan and Garnet. The onsite physiotherapist is available for initial assessment and treatment plan formulation. Garnet, Ryan, and Candice can then able to help you carry out the goals of the treatment plan in the MOA Living studio space. You can perform your physiotherapy exercise plan with hands-on help from your existing manual practitioner.
The body is a finely tuned machine. It doesn't take much to throw that machine out of balance. The body needs regular maintenance to keep it functioning optimally. An asymptomatic body does not mean a fully functioning body: this is why so many people throw out their backs by sneezing, reaching for the shampoo, or bending over to tie their shoes, for example. Take control of your health by actively and regularly coming in for an appointment.
A regular cycle of treatment will move your body from symptomatic to asymptomatic. People often refer to this asymptomatic stage as maintenance. Consider a different term: prevention. Osteopathy, massage therapy, and physiotherapy don't have to be only something you seek out when you are in pain. They should be a part of your healthy living activities such as either going to the gym, practicing yoga or going to spin class.
Feel free to speak with one of the MOA Living practitioners to assist in setting up your health goals plan for 2020. Everybody has a different lifestyle, different coverage, and different interests. It is imperative to tailor a plan for the individual. Why have only one practitioner in your corner when your insurance will allow you four or five? After all, they aren't benefits if you aren't using them.
