Integral Anatomy Intensive

Lindsay — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 01:37:12 +0000

Today, I got to “explore inner space” with somanaut, Dr. Gil Hedley.
He has inspired me to view the human body and all its tissues in a WHOLE new way!

Favourite quote of the day:
“Liposuction is the amputation of an organ. It’s analogous to circumcision, both in intelligence and what it represents.”

March is National Nutrition Month

“Artist Stefani Bardin, TEDxManhattan 2011 Fellow, shows us her latest project — using a ‘smartpill’ to reveal how we digest differently processed foods.

Her current project works with gastroenterologist Dr. Braden Kuo at Harvard University where they just completed the first ever clinical study to use the M2A™ and SmartPill devices that look at how the human body responds to processed versus whole foods.”

February is Heart Month!

Did you know: heart disease and stroke take 1 in 3 Canadians before their time, and is the #1 killer of women.

For the rest of the month, I will be posting information, research, and tips via the Canadian Heart & Stroke Foundation website (www.heartandstroke.com) on my Facebook Page. Click on the image below to visit, and “Like” my page.

New ICBC Massage Therapy Policy

Lindsay — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 21:31:51 +0000

Subsequent to the Raguin vs. ICBC court decision in November 2011, ICBC implemented new coverage for massage therapy treatments.

ICBC ‘s Current Massage Therapy Policy as of January 2012
*ICBC now categorizes massage therapy as non-discretionary therapy as per physiotherapy and chiropractic. This means that treatment is automatically approved for a claimant injured in an MVA

*ICBC has removed the “1st 8 week post MVA” time limitation on massage therapy treatments. This means that a patient can seek and receive massage therapy any time after an MVA, provided that the claim is still open.

*An MD referral is no longer necessary for the first 12 treatments. But all therapists are required to assess and determine that their treatment plan (as per CMTBC practice standards) is reasonable and necessary.

*ICBC is regulated to pay a minimum 12 treatments but has the discretion to authorize further therapy (up to 20 treatments). A request for more than 12 treatments is given if further therapy is recommended by an MD, and again the treatments are deemed to be reasonable and necessary.
