Chris's Experience
In the winter of 2020, I broke my femur rather badly in a skiing accident. In the days and months and years that followed this traumatic injury I sought out different healing modalities to assist in my recovery. Thus began my journey in Osteopathic treatment.
My first Osteopathic treatment was just days after orthopedic surgery and release from the hospital. The Osteopathic Practitioner was incredibly experienced and knowledgeable. They listened closely to me and co-developed a treatment plan that worked in concert with the other medical professionals I was seeing. As an added value, the Osteopathic Practitioner was a ‘cheerleader’ for me during my recovery – they were very invested in seeing me return to doing all the things I love to do – especially being active in the outdoors.
Seeking out an Osteopathic Practitioner and working with them consistently over the past five years has been foundational to my recovery of a broken femur. During the acute healing period I was seeing my Practitioner regularly and looked forward to the progress we made. Now much less frequent, I see these treatments more as a key, maintenance regime for a body that is much different than it was before the injury.
Having an Osteopathic Practitioner in my corner has been critical to getting back on my feet!
