If I were to ask, are you familiar with osteopathy? What would be your response? I asked this in a poll on Instagram, 30% of you said it’s changed your life. 20% said y’all are somewhat familiar but want to hear more and then 50% of you said that you didn’t have a clue what it was. And I’m definitely in that last category.
While I’m trying to be more mindful of taking care of my body, I’d say I’m still stuck in the stereotypical mindset that working out and eating properly is the ONLY way to take care of myself. And I'd be wrong!
This episode's guest opened my eyes and helped to further change my preconceived ideas of how to take care of myself and further feel more confident, comfortable and grounded in my body.
Florence Bowen is an osteopathic care provider and movement enthusiast in Toronto. Her mission is to provide functional care for all. With an eclectic background that includes competitive athletics and dance, yoga and pilates instruction, and a deep knowledge of human kinetics, Flo brings a holistic approach to care.
She mentions that “For as long as she can remember, she’s dreamt of creating a physical space that holds a strong identity and cultivates community. For the past decade, her teaching and clinical practice has been dominated by perinatal and pediatric care. She’s super passionate about educating and supporting soon-to-be parents, new parents and all of their babies.
This episode is for anyone else who is curious about osteo and if they’d be suitable for it, plus for anyone who already knows what osteo and is looking to learn more! We’re discussing the benefits of osteopathy, the importance of pelvic health, and Flo’s entrepreneurial journey as she just opened up her private practice a little over a year ago.
