I’m New baby. Achy wrist? 👶🤍

Caring for a newborn means a lot of lifting, feeding, carrying, rocking, and repetitive hand movements. Over time, this can place increased strain through the thumb and wrist, commonly referred to as “mommy wrist,” and often associated with De Quervain’s tenosynovitis.

But the wrist doesn’t work in isolation.

An osteopathic approach considers how the wrist, forearm, elbow, shoulder, neck, and upper back are working together. Changes in posture, muscle tension, joint mobility, and the physical demands of feeding and carrying your baby can all influence how much stress reaches the wrist.

At Level Osteopathy, treatment may focus on:

• Improving mobility through the wrist, forearm, shoulder and upper body
• Reducing unnecessary muscular tension and mechanical strain
• Addressing postural changes associated with feeding and carrying
• Providing practical advice for modifying aggravating movements
• Helping your body better manage the new physical demands of parenthood

You may have to carry your little one every day — but you don’t have to simply live with the discomfort. 🤍

Persistent or worsening wrist pain, significant swelling, weakness, numbness, or symptoms following an injury should be appropriately assessed.

Rest is part of recovery. 💛

A long weekend can quickly become an opportunity to catch up on chores, tackle projects, run errands, and squeeze even more into our schedules.

But sometimes, the most productive thing we can do for our bodies is… less.

Active rest means intentionally giving yourself permission to slow down. Sleep a little longer. Sit with your coffee. Take an easy walk. Read a book. Spend time with one another. Give your body and nervous system a chance to recharge without immediately filling every free moment with another task.

Recovery isn’t wasted time. It’s part of how our bodies adapt, repair, and prepare us for what comes next.

This Labour Day long weekend, remember: you don’t have to earn your rest. Make some space for it.

Happy Labour Day from Level Osteopathy! 🍁

.💻 Long day at your desk? Your body needs a break too.

You don’t need a full workout to feel better during the workday. A few simple stretches can help you move, reset, and bring some much-needed variety to hours spent sitting.

Try these 3 easy workday stretches:
1. 🧘 Neck & Upper Shoulder Stretch

* Sit or stand tall with your shoulders relaxed.
* Gently tilt your right ear toward your right shoulder.
* Keep the opposite shoulder down — don’t shrug.
* For a little more stretch, gently place your right hand over the left side of your head, without pulling.
* Hold for 20–30 seconds, then switch sides.
* You should feel a gentle stretch along the side of your neck and upper shoulder.

2. 🙆 Chest & Shoulder Opener

* Sit or stand tall and bring your hands behind your back.
* Gently draw your shoulders back and down.
* If comfortable, straighten your arms slightly and lift your hands away from your body.
* Keep your ribs relaxed and avoid arching your lower back.
* Hold for 20–30 seconds while taking slow, comfortable breaths.
* You should feel the stretch across your chest and the front of your shoulders.

3. 🔄 Seated Spinal Rotation

* Sit toward the front of your chair with both feet flat on the floor.
* Cross your arms over your chest or place your hands gently on your shoulders.
* Keeping your hips facing forward, slowly rotate your upper body to the right.
* Pause for 10–20 seconds, breathing normally.
* Return to centre and repeat on the left.
* Move gently — the goal is comfortable movement, not forcing a bigger rotation.

⏱️ Take 30–60 seconds for each and remember: movement doesn’t have to be complicated to be beneficial.

Your body was designed to move — not stay in one position for 8 hours.

Save this post for your next desk break and send it to someone who spends too much time at their computer. 👇

We’ve Been Nominated Again!

Dear Level Osteopathy Community,

We’re excited to share that Level Osteopathy has once again been nominated for the Oakville News Readers’ Favourite Awards 2026 in the Osteopaths category!

Last year was particularly special for us. Thanks to the support of our patients and community, Level Osteopathy was named the 2025 Readers’ Favourite for Osteopaths — the first recipient of the award in this category. The recognition even led to Oakville News featuring our clinic in an article, giving us an opportunity to share more about osteopathy and the work we do in our community.

To be nominated again in 2026 means just as much.

Thank you to our patients who took the time to nominate us. Your trust, referrals, kind words and continued support have allowed our small local clinic to grow while staying focused on what matters most: providing thoughtful, individualized osteopathic care to the people who walk through our doors.

Voting for the 2026 Readers’ Favourite Awards is now open. If you’ve had a positive experience with Level Osteopathy and would like to support us again this year, we would be incredibly grateful for your vote.

There is absolutely no obligation—we’re already grateful simply to have been nominated by the community we serve.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you to Sheridan & Sarah

This summer, we at Level Osteopathy want to extend our thanks and congratulations to Sarah, our shadowing student, for completing her observation hours.

Sarah brought a bright, positive energy to the clinic every Friday, and we deeply appreciate all patients who welcomed her into their appointments.

We’re all cheering you on, Sarah, as you head into your next year of school. Keep an eye out for her—this fall, we’ll be connecting her with a couple of other practices as she continues to learn and grow.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please keep an eye out for updates from Level Osteopathy about our upcoming Thanksgiving Food Drive.

We’re hoping to partner with Kerr Street Mission food bank again this year for an autumn collection—and we may even team up with our friends at Film.ca Oakville to make it a special community event.

Stefan and our office admin, Catherine, will keep you posted as plans come together.

Warmly,

Do I need a referral to see an osteopath? 🤔

No, you generally do not need a doctor’s referral to book an appointment with an Osteopathic Manual Practitioner.

At Level Osteopathy, we are highly trained in complementary care and take your health history seriously. Before treatment, we listen carefully to your concerns, complete a thorough assessment, and screen for any potential red flags that may require further medical attention.

While a referral isn’t required to see us, we regularly work alongside patients’ family doctors and other healthcare professionals as part of their broader healthcare team. If something in your history or assessment suggests that osteopathic treatment may not be the appropriate first step, we are fully prepared to recommend that you return to your family doctor or another appropriate healthcare provider before proceeding.

Our goal isn’t simply to treat, it’s to make sure you’re receiving the right care, at the right time.

One important note: some extended health insurance plans may require a physician’s referral for reimbursement, so we recommend checking the details of your individual plan.

Have a concern and aren’t sure where to start? You’re always welcome to reach out.

🔥 Heat or 🧊 Ice — which should you use?

It’s a common question we hear after an osteopathic treatment — and when aches and pains show up in everyday life.

🧊 ICE may be helpful when:
• Pain feels sharp, irritated or “hot”
• There is noticeable swelling following a recent injury
• Cooling the area simply feels relieving

🔥 HEAT may be helpful when:
• Muscles feel tight, stiff or achy
• You’re dealing with general soreness or tension
• You feel stiff after sitting, sleeping or being inactive
• Warmth helps you relax and move more comfortably

After an osteopathic treatment?
You don’t necessarily need either. Some mild tenderness or soreness can occur following treatment. If you’d like some relief, heat is often comfortable for general muscular stiffness or tension, while ice may feel better if an area feels particularly irritated.

⏱️ How long?
Try approximately 10–20 minutes at a time, using a layer between your skin and the heat or ice source. Avoid falling asleep with either applied.

Most importantly, listen to your body. If heat makes you feel worse, stop. If ice makes you feel worse, stop. Neither needs to be forced simply because you’re experiencing pain.

Persistent, worsening or unexplained pain deserves a proper assessment rather than simply being treated with heat or ice.

Have a question about what’s appropriate for you? Ask us at your next appointment.
