ABOUT OUR CLINIC
Body Mechanik is located overlooking the Grand River in the heritage Old Livery Building in downtown Fergus. In keeping with our Covid protocols, kindly arrive only a few minutes prior to your appointment. After removing your shoes at the door, please have a seat in the open treatment room.
Please note that as we do not have secretarial staffing. Booking is done through the online form below or by calling and leaving a message.
At your first treatment with Body Mechanik, we will review your consent form as well as your full health history which you will have completed (will be linked in your confirmation email) when you booked your appointment. By providing this information prior to your initial consultation and first treatment, it allows us more time at your in-person appointment to discuss your health status and develop an appropriate treatment plan that best suits your needs. It is important to include all personal and medical history on your form as the more information we have about your body, the better we are able to help you in treatment.

What to Expect After Your Treatment
Osteopathic treatment doesn’t stop when you leave the clinic. The effects will continue up to a week after as your body adjusts. We will often give you advice as to simple things you can do for maximum benefit when you leave the clinic such as:
-
Go for a leisurely walk around the block before you get in your car
-
Drink water
-
Eat healthy, nourishing food
-
Get a good night’s sleep
-
Listen to your body
We are often asked, “How long until I get better?” That’s a really hard question to answer as everyone comes to the clinic in a different state. How your body reacts to treatment is based on past experience, your general mobility and health history.
You are a big part of the process. Your daily activities and habits play a big role in the overall function of your body. Our goal always is to get your body in optimal condition so that it can take care of the issues you are experiencing itself. We want to see a positive change in how you’re feeling in 3-6 treatments. Improvement is different for everyone, but may look like:
-
More energy
-
Easier to get out of bed in the morning or when you get up after sitting
-
Movement feels easier
-
More regular elimination
-
More restful sleep
-
You can breathe easier or aren’t congested
-
Frequency of symptoms or intensity of symptoms starting to decrease
Body Mechanik was founded so that I could create a clinic that was based on my philosophy of practical training combined with my belief in my patients and their ability to heal themselves.
I am overjoyed that I can provide a comforting place for other Osteopathic Manual Practitioners to also practice and heal. We look forward to meeting you!
