Todays Episode has the return of Colby!

We jam and chat about some of our current difficult cases in clinic and how we may look or think about some of these lesion patterns. We always like working through out own patients in order to help them the best that we can, but it is always nice when you are having some level of difficulty to have classmates, colleagues, and mentors t reach out to and discuss the cases. 

We love working through these with each other and would be happy to work through some thought processes your working on!

In episode 29 Sara and Amanda (unfortunately Colby couldn't make it) have a conversation about treating children, some of the things to think about and some of the things they look for.

This discussion is always interesting and always developing, of course this is a brief podcast and there is far more to consider, please give us your thoughts on this. 

As a quick note, remember that when treating children just as an adult its important to understand the differences in the anatomy. For example the bones may not be as developed, the pelvis may not yet be fused at the trigger radiate cartilage etc. 

Enjoy the show!

Today is an exciting day!

This is our first guest on the show, and we were happy it was indeed Melissa Biscardi. 

She is a Registered Nurse, Osteopathic Practitioner and Concussion specialist. We talk about all things treatment, covid, and most importantly her work with brain health and concussion treatment. 

"I’m a registered nurse (RN), manual osteopath (DOMP), and a concussion clinician and researcher. In a nutshell I like to say I am a Brain Crusader. I have dedicated my life to helping others improve their brain health and to feel like themselves again after concussion through effective, evidence-based concussion care."

If you want to learn more about her head over to rehablab.ca

In episode 28 we rant and chat about some of the things we do for continuing education, including CEUs required for our professional membership, to studying, to constantly pushing your brain, hands, and thought process to become the best practitioner we can for our patients. 

What do you guys do for continuing education? 

Please share some of your thoughts and methods!!

@OsteoCast_

We chat about some of the things we thought about and dealt with while opening our clinics, some of the main concerns on going in our clinics. This is not a course, and by all means it is not comprehensive but hopefully it can help you in a few ways and give you some ideas of the things you can and need to do to be successful.

If you have questions or want us to expand on this then please give us a shout! @osteocast_

Episode 25 with Colby, Amanda and Sara.

We get on about shoes, what kinds of shoes are good and bad, how they affect the body, can lead to or cement lesion patterns in place, some of our thoughts on feet and the health of them. 

A huge topic that we are just scratching he surface of, but it was a fun one to record and we hope you enjoy it!

In this episode we dive into the clinical environment- talk anything from the art, the vibe, the culture and branding of the clinic you work in and why that is important for both you and the patients coming in. Developing a healing environment is crucial for the best possible care!

Secondly, we talk a bit about the intuitive or spiritual side of treatment. Osteopathy in its purity includes mind, body and spirit. This is a conversation that we talk about our experiences and there are many many other experiences out there. 

Keep working, dig on, and have a good one!

In episode 23 we jam about how the body deals with compensation, how the nervous system perceives pain and tells the rest of the body what to do. We randomly discuss some treatment in regards to this as well as have a bit of a laugh.

I hope you enjoy the episode and if you have questions message us @osteocast_

We have all had pain, felt pain, or know what it is, but what are we actually feeling and why are we feeling it?

Pain is different for everyone and that is based on perception, nerve impulse, and a handful of other components.

Why do you feel it where you feel it?

Episode #21 we talk about acute and chronic pain patterns.

What they are, how they work, how we may treat them, and some consideration that may be needed.

Remember this is a podcast and can by no means discuss every possible component of what Osteopathy looks at or considers in the care process.
