The Ontario College of Osteopathic Rehabilitation Sciences (www.ontarioosteopathyboard.org) has approved the 4 years full time “Osteopathic Rehabilitation Sciences” fellowship program of National Academy of Osteopathy. NAO is now an accredited member of OCORS.

OCORS only approves manual osteopathy educational diploma or degree programs that are World Health Organization (WHO) compliant and at a minimum teach 4200 hours (approximately 4 years).

Graduates of the NAO fellowship program in Osteopathic Rehabilitation Sciences are now able to apply for membership to OCORS to receive a license number that can be used when they bill insurers for manual osteopathy treatments performed in Canada.

After congratulating the NAO graduate Mr S. Hussein for landing a job at a rehab clinic at $50 per hour in Richmond Hill (the 2nd NAO graduate to do so), we were just informed by another NAO graduate that he is receiving $55 per hour as a manual osteopath in Toronto, Ontario, canada. This is the highest salary we know of any of our graduates. If anyone is hired with a salary more than this please let us know.

We congratulate Mr F. Azevedo for becoming the NAO graduate with the highest salary & being the best paid NAO graduated manual osteopath.

This is just amazing. Making $55 per hour after 4 months of study is a great achievement. There simply is not another profession that offers such high rewards in such short time. It takes 7 years to become a chiropractor, 4 years to become a physiotherapist & 2 years to become a massage therapist. And their starting salary for a new graduate ranges from $20 to $40 per hour while manual osteopaths are hired at $30 per hour on average.

We are honoured to help people become productive members of the society. And we continue to provide you with unique, innovative & affordable osteopathic education.

NAO graduates successful manual osteopath!

National Academy of Osteopathy wishes to congratulate NAO graduate, Mr S. Hussein for being hired as a manual osteopath by a rehabilitation clinic in Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada at a salary of $50 per hour.

This is the second time an NAO graduate lands a job at $50 per hour. At the time when chiropractors in Toronto, with 7 years of education are hired at $30 to $40 per hour, or massage therapists with 2 years of education are hired at $20 to $25 per hour, being hired at $50 per hour after studying 4 months is quite an achievement.

Join NAO, become a manual osteopath & secure your future.

Starting April 01, 2013 the practice of acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine will be regulated in the province of Ontario (Canada). All National Academy of Osteopathy graduates who use acupuncture or traditional Chinese medicine in conjunction with manual osteopathy must now become a member of the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners & Acupuncturists of Ontario (CTCMPAO). To become a member, you will be grandfathered into the college if you have provided 2000 acupuncture treatments during the past 5 years. If you have not, then you must pass the exams administered by CTCMPAO and meet their registration criteria.

If you plan to practice acupuncture in your practice, you must also inform your malpractice insurer.

British Columbia and Ontario are the only two provinces in Canada regulating traditional Chinese medicine. Acupuncture is regulated in Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, Newfoundland & Quebec.

For the 32 years old National Academy of Osteopathy student Ryan Smith, climbing up the stairs of the CN Tower in Toronto (Canada) on Saturday was about more than just making it to the top. It was something he was dreaming to do for a long time and now he can check besting 1,776 stairs for the Enbridge CN Tower Climb for United Way off his list.

Ryan was one of the thousands who successfully made the trek over the weekend, a trip that usually takes 58 seconds by elevator for the more than a million who visit the top each year.

The event saw student and individual fundraisers contribute to the $2.5 million fundraising goal as part of the United Way Toronto’s biggest annual event, now in its 35th year.

“The money is all going back into the community,” said United Way Toronto vice president. “It funds a vital network of social services and community agencies.”

At the top of the tower, the mood was celebratory mixed with exhaustion. Participants clambered out of the stairwell, sweaty, red faced and at a loss for words.

“Climbing the CN Tower was one of the hardest things I ever did and I am proud of Ryan for doing this extreme athletic event and raising over $4000 for the United Way” Said Dr Pourgol, president of NAO.

The National University of Medical Sciences Dr Shahin Pourgol has been working on for the past couple of years has been finally set up. It is scheduled to open within the next two months. National Academy of Osteopathy faculty, employees and students congratulate Dr Pourgol on his new academic venture.

The university has plans to offer many degree programs in the future but initially it is just offering three programs which are Doctor of Osteopathy - DO (4 years full time), bachelor of science in osteopathy – BSc (3 years full time) and master of business administration in health care – MBA (1 year full time). The programs could be taken independently or concurrently to obtain dual degrees.

The university starts accepting students for the September 2013 classes once it is operational in 2 months or so. Tuition is kept low at $2000 per semester to make the degree programs affordable to all students.

National Academy of Osteopathy will work closely with this university. NAO graduates will receive advance credits of up to two years for the studies they have done. And NAO is setting up a program that would enable our graduates to obtain an expedited degree from this university.

NAO graduates with a diploma in osteopathic manual practice (DOMP) will be able to obtain a bachelor of science in Osteopathy (BSc) in 1 year full time and a doctor of osteopathy (DO) degree in 2 years full time. NAO graduates will also able to enroll in the Dual degree program of BSc/MBA which they can complete in 1 year, or the BSc/MBA/DO which they can complete in 2 years.

We will update you with more information once the university website is up and running. You can also visit the Facebook fan page set up for this university and then LIKE it so you could receive updates about this university as it is posted. The link is: http://www.facebook.com/meduniversity

National Academy of Osteopathy (NAO) wishes to once again congratulate International Osteopathic association (IOA) on their persistent work towards getting manual osteopathy recognized by the Canadian insurance industry.

In their latest effort they were successful (on October 16, 2012) in getting ClaimSecure, a Canadian Extended Health Plan (EHP) insurer; to approve and cover manual osteopathy treatments when performed by members of International Osteopathic Association. Currently over 95% of insurers in Canada cover manual osteopathy treatments provided by IOA members.

NAO is an accredited member of International Osteopathic Association. NAO graduates are eligible to apply for membership to IOA (www.internationalosteopathicassociation.org) once they have passed the board exams administered by the Canadian Manual Osteopathy Examining Board (www.cmoeb.org). With a license number from IOA, our graduates are able to open their own clinics or work as employees of other clinics.

The Interim Report on a Regulatory Model for Healthcare and Assessment Facilities in Ontario has been posted on the Ministry of Finance’s website since mid-July of 2012.

Currently in the province of Ontario anyone, without any qualification may open a rehabilitation clinic, and hire health professionals such as manual osteopaths, registered massage therapists, chiropractors and physiotherapists to run the facility and to provide treatments to patients injured in a motor vehicle accident (MVA). As these business owners are not licensed health professionals they are not bound by the codes of ethics of the appropriate health associations such as International Osteopathic Association (IOA) or the College of Chiropractors of Ontario (CCO).

Proposed to be licensed are multidisciplinary treatment facilities, health professionals in solo practice such as chiropractors and osteopaths, assessment facilities and unregulated providers of medical and rehabilitation services, such as vocational rehabilitation, case management and home modifications.

This report suggests that the owner of the clinics providing services to MVA patients must be licensed health professionals such as manual osteopaths and that the license be issued by the Financial Services Commission of Ontario (FSCO).

On June 22, 1874 Dr Andrew Taylor Still in Kansas, USA had an idea that he compared to feeling of being shot “not in the heart but in the dome of reason”. This idea brought osteopathy to him “like a burst of sunshine the whole truth dawned upon my mind and I flung to the breeze the banner of osteopathy”.

Because of one idea; there are now about 100,000 osteopaths globally who employ about 400,000 people and provide about 100 millions treatments per year. Millions of patients are relieved of pain, more than a million people are supported financially through osteopathy and the world in general is a better place thanks to the idea Dr Still had on that day, June 22, 1874, which now I registered as the World Osteopathy Day as a way to give my gratitude to his idea.

This is the power of an idea that started from just one man 138 years ago.
Thank you Dr Still. Thank you so much for your idea. And thank you for taking action to make your idea a reality. The world is grateful to you for your idea.

Dr. Shahin Pourgol

As a result of tireless work of Dr Shahin Pourgol for suggesting a World Osteopathy Day and collaboration between National Academy of Osteopathy, International Osteopathic Association, Canadian Manual Osteopathy Examining Board, and a number of other organizations, manual osteopaths, and osteopathy students, we are pleased to announce that June 22nd has been chosen and named “World Osteopathy Day”.

For over 130 years osteopathy has done so much to help human beings have a better quality of life and it deserve a day of its own as recognition of its contribution to human society worldwide.

At 10AM on June 22, 1874 in Baldwin, Kansas (USA), the 46 years old Dr Andrew Taylor Still founded osteopathy. Dr Shahin Pourgol recommended this day in oppose to Dr Still’s date of birth (August 06, 1828) as the World Osteopathy Day and his suggestion was accepted by the majority.

Dr Pourgol is bringing a private member bill to the Canadian parliament to request the government of Canada officially recognize June 22nd as the World Osteopathy Day.

International Osteopathic Association has committed to do the same with parliaments of a number of other countries in Europe, Latin America, Asia and Africa.

It is with great pleasure to announce that National Academy of Osteopathy professor, Dr Abazar Habibinia, MD, DFN, CSDTT, along with a number of other distinguished medical doctors was invited to present a seminar at the Medical Doctors Health Seminar titled Digestive System, Nutrition and Detox at the Holliday Inn in North York.
NAO staff and faculty congratulate Dr Habibinia and consider this another indication of the high calibre of NAO faculty.

अस्थिचिकित्सा दुनिया में अत्यधिक तेजी से बढ़ रही एक व्यवसाय है.

अस्थिचिकित्सा पीठ के निचले हिस्से में दर्द के लिए रोगियों द्वारा पसंद किया गया (काइरिप्रैक्टिक चिकित्सा पद्धति, मालिश, भौतिक चिकित्सा, एक्यूपंक्चर और दवा की तुलना में) पहली पसंदीदा चिकित्सा है.

कई शोधों से पता लगता है की पीठ दर्द के लिए अस्थिचिकित्सा ही सबसे प्रभावी उपचार है.

अस्थिचिकित्सा उपचार नरम, दर्द मुक्त, सुरक्षित, सिद्ध और मांसपेशियों, हड्डियों, जोड़ों और नसों के विकार के उपचार में बहुत प्रभावी है.

इस व्यवसाय में बेरोजगारी शून्य होता है. सभी अस्थिचिकित्सकों को रोजगार अवश्य मिलता है.

अस्थिचिकित्सकों का औसत वार्षिक आय ९०,००० डॉलर है.

अस्थिचिकित्सकों का नियोजन पुनर्वसन क्लीनिकों, चिकित्सा केन्द्रों, स्वास्थ्य क्लबों, स्पा और अन्यों से प्रति घंटे ३० डॉलर से शुरू करते हुए किया जाता है.

नए अस्थिचिकित्सक अपने स्वयं के क्लीनिक को दुनिया में कनाडा, अमेरिका, यूरोप, एशिया, अफ्रीका और ऑस्ट्रेलिया सहित किसी भी हिस्से में खोल सकते हैं.

मरीजों को अस्थिचिकित्सा से सम्बंधित उपचार अछे लगते है. रिचमंड हिल, ओंटारियो (कनाडा) में एक अस्थिचिकित्सक से मिलने के लिए 2 महीने तक का इंतजार का वक़्त लगता है. ईरान में अस्थिचिकित्सक से मिलने के लिए ६ महीने तक इंतजार करना पड़ता है!

एक अस्थिचिकित्सक बनने के लिए ४ महीने का वक़्त लग जाता हैं (इसकी तुलना में काइरिप्रैक्टिक चिकित्सक बनने के लिए ७ साल, मालिश चिकित्सक बनने के लिए २ साल और भौतिक चिकित्सक बनने के लिए 6 साल लगते है) लेकिन इन सभी की आय एक समान ही है.

अस्थिचिकित्सा के राष्ट्रीय अकादमी में अध्ययन करें, एक अस्थिचिकित्सक बनें और अपना भविष्य सुरक्षित करें.

अस्थिचिकित्सा का राष्ट्रीय अकादमी दुनिया में सबसे बड़ा हस्तचालित या मनुअल अस्थिचिकित्सा कॉलेज है.

Остеопатия – это область здравоохранения. Ни одна другая профессия не может доставить столько радости. Ведь ничего не может быть лучше, чем помогать людям и избавлять их от боли!

Остеопатия – одна из наиболее динамично растущих областей здравоохранения в мире.

Остеопатия была признана лучшим способом лечения болей в пояснице (в сравнении с хиропрактикой, акупунктурой и традиционным лечением).


Многочисленные исследования показывают, что остеопатия является наиболее эффективным способом лечения болей в спине.

Остеопатические методы лечения безболезненны, безопасны, проверены и эффективны против заболеваний мышц, костей, суставов и нервов.


В этой профессии не существует безработицы. Все врачи-остеопаты находят работу.

Средний ежегодный доход остеопатов составляет $90,000.

Специалисты по остеопатии востребованы в реабилитационных клиниках, медицинских центрах, клубах здоровья, спа и других учреждениях. Заработная плата таких специалистов составляет как минимум $30 в час.

Врачи-остеопаты могут открывать свои частные клиники практически по всему миру, включая Канаду, США, Европу, Азию, Африку и Австралию.


Пациенты все чаще выбирают остеопатию. Например, в Ричмонд-Хилл в Онтарию (Канада) очередь к остеопату составляет 2 месяца, а в Иране – люди ждут 6 месяцев!

Чтобы стать остеопатом достаточно 4 месяцев (в сравнении с 7 годами обучения хиропрактике, 2 годами обучения массажу и 6 годами физиотерапии), но доход этих специалистов одинаков.

Учеба в Национальной академии остеопатии поможет вам стать квалифицированным специалистом и обеспечить свое будущее.

Национальная академия остеопатии – это крупнейший колледж мануальной остеопатии в мире.

World famous osteopath & president of NAO, Dr Shahin Pourgol was invited in September 18, 2012 to give a presentation in Havana (Cuba) introducing manual osteopathy to the Cuban health practitioners. The seminar was also attended by directors of a number of polyclinics in Havana.

Following the presentation; the request by National Academy of Osteopathy to set up a manual osteopathy outreach program in Havana, Cuba was approved.

Cuban people will now first hand experience the wonderful osteopathic treatments provided by graduates of NAO.

I am proud to announce establishment of the first osteopathy outreach program in Cuba by National Academy of Osteopathy (NAO).

Ms Luary Perez, the NAO registrar was very helpful in setting up this charity program in Cuba. There are not any manual osteopaths in Cuba and the health professionals there are not accustomed to osteopathy. World famous osteopath & president of NAO, Dr Shahin Pourgol was invited in September 18, 2012 to give a presentation in Havana introducing manual osteopathy to Cuban health practitioners. The seminar was also attended by directors of a number of polyclinics in Havana.

It has been decided that two manual osteopaths graduated from NAO be permitted to provide a month long free osteopathic treatments to Cubans in a polyclinic setting. This introduces the Cuban population to osteopathy while also providing an excellent training to new graduates.

Cuba has cultivated a large and resourceful network of health practitioners, which is made possible thanks to the well designed academic practices and the constant commitment of its top six medical universities to the improvement of healthcare professionals. The healthcare system in Cuba is made up of 60 different specialties.
Fifty one of these specialities are medical (including physiotherapy & natural medicine), with five dental, three nursing and one for psychology.

There are no private healthcare facilities in Cuba and all healthcare professionals are employees of the government.
This is the first time an osteopathy outreach program is established outside Canada by a Canadian osteopathy college.

National Academy of Osteopathy is the leader in providing innovative new ideas for the expansion of osteopathic profession internationally. NAO is the single most effective tool in expansion of osteopathy and we are proud to be able to bring pain relief through osteopathic treatments to the people of Cuba. We hope to expand our international manual osteopathy outreach program to other countries as well.

Dr. Lee Choi, MD, a manual osteopathy student of National Academy of Osteopathy has completed a research project as his thesis towards the investigative project requirement of course TH 980 of the diploma in manual osteopathy program.

Dr. Choi’s research analysed 100 patients’ response to low back pain treatments performed by manual osteopaths, registered massage therapists, chiropractors, physiotherapists, acupuncturists and physicians.

Patients who received manual osteopathy had the highest rate of satisfaction with their treatments, followed by chiropractic, massage therapy, physiotherapy, acupuncture and medicine.

Over 95% of the patients surveyed who received osteopathic treatments indicated great satisfaction with their treatments, followed by 91% who received chiropractic treatments, 86% by those who received massage therapy, 75% by those who received physiotherapy, 60% by those who received acupuncture and 30% by those who received medical care for their low back pain.

This research confirms result of previous research indicating that patients favour manual osteopathy treatment above all other available treatments for low back pain of mechanical origin and that osteopathy is the number one health care system of choice for them whenever they suffer from low back pain.

Dr Shahin Pourgol, president of National Academy of Osteopathy was invited to a medical congress in Bermuda on conservative non-invasive management of low back pain. Health practitioners from many disciplines, from across the world were in attendance. Dr Pourgol was the only manual osteopath invited to give a presentation in this seminar. His seminar topic was the osteopathic management of lumbar spine pain secondary to posterior facet syndrome.

National Academy of Osteopathy is proud to announce that it is now officially the only manual osteopathy college in the world offering courses in custom made foot orthotics, compression socks and physiotherapy modalities as part of the diploma in manual osteopathy program (DOMP) . Currently there are no other manual osteopathy colleges offering these subjects to manual osteopathy students. NAO works best to remain the leader in osteopathic education.

National Academy of Osteopathy is offering four guaranteed scholarships to all its current, past and future students. These scholarships (valued at $21,639.50) are available to all students who enrol in the diploma program in manual osteopathy (DOMP). The four scholarships fully cover the tuition cost of the following post graduate courses:

AOT 1026 Auxiliary Osteopathy Therapy (certified electrotherapist) (tuition: $5650.00)
CF 1092 Certified Fitter – Support Hose (tuition: $2825.00)
CF 1082 Certified Fitter – Foot Orthotics (tuition: $3390.00)
OMT 0428 Certified Osteopathic Manipulative Therapist (tuition: $9774.50)

Upon successful completion of the courses graduates are permitted to use the following designations and titles after their names: CET, CFSH, CFFO, COMT

National Academy of Osteopathy is the only osteopathy college in the world offering courses in physiotherapy modalities (ultrasound, TENS, Interferential Current, etc.), custom made foot orthotics and support hose.

National Academy of Osteopathy is unique and a leader in innovative osteopathic education. This is one reason NAO has become so popular as well as the largest manual osteopathy college in the world. No other manual osteopathy college teaches as much osteopathy techniques and as much management related lectures as NAO.

..........NAO`s teaching classes are excellent.....

Thanks a lot Dr Pourgol and associates.......

National Academy of Osteopathy wishes to congratulate International Osteopathic association (IOA) on their persistent work towards getting manual osteopathy recognized by the insurance industry. In their latest effort they were successful in getting the big Canadian insurers; Blue Cross, Great West Life and Desjardins to approve and cover manual osteopathy treatments when performed by members of International Osteopathic Association. Currently over 95% of insurers in Canada cover manual osteopathy treatments provided by IOA members.

National Academy of Osteopathy graduates are eligible to apply for membership to International Osteopathic Association (www.internationalosteopathicassociation.org) once they have passed the board exams administered by the Canadian Manual Osteopathy Examining Board (www.cmoeb.org). With a license number from IOA, our graduates are able to open their own clinics or work as employees of other clinics.

The board of directors at National Academy of Osteopathy have approved a new scholarship for manual osteopathy students who are on social assistance (welfare), employment insurance (EI), disability benefit (DB), or workplace safety insurance board benefits (WSIB). The scholarship is in the amount of $1000 and is used towards the tuition.
National Academy of Osteopathy (NAO) offers a 4 months diploma program in manual osteopathy. Manual osteopaths treat a wide range of musculoskeletal disorders. There is zero unemployment and all graduates find employment. The average salary of manual osteopaths is $30 per hour. High school diploma is the requirement to enter into this program. Tuition is $5026 plus HST. Many scholarships are available for selected students.

National Academy of Osteopathy students, upon graduation are eligible to sit for the board exams administered by the Canadian Manual Osteopathy Examining Board (CMOEB). Upon successful passing of the board they are eligible to apply for a license number with International Osteopathic Association (IOA) to practice manual osteopathy and to bill insurers.
With a license number from International Osteopathic Association graduates can work in rehab, physiotherapy, chiropractic, medical or massage clinics or open their own clinics. They are permitted to work in all Canadian provinces including Ontario, Quebec, Alberta and British Columbia. Over 95% of insurers in Canada pay for osteopathy treatments performed by NAO graduates.

To enrol and or review the manual osteopathy program please contact the National Academy of Osteopathy head office located at 3701 Chesswood Drive, Suite 325 in Toronto (416-635-6550) or any of its admission offices worldwide.

Please make sure you are dealing with the head office in Toronto or its admission offices. To see a list of current admission offices of NAO please visit our website at www.nationalacademyofosteopathy.com. Please deal only with the head office to avoid a rip off.

If you are On EI, social assistance (welfare), EI, or disability benefit you may qualify to receive scholarships towards your tuition. Contact NAO for more info.

........Just to give you an update. I was recently accepted to practice at a busy medical clinic (Sheridan Medical Associates) with 6 physicians on duty. I was interviewed by 4 of the 6 doctors for 30 minutes with questions ranging from osteopathic procedures to billing / insurance issues. I still cannot believe that I was accepted and I'm still really excited about it. The referrals are great and my patient list is growing. I'm also still quite amazed on how the techniques you have taught us are so effective and as a result my testimonials just keep on coming. It is truly such a gratifying feeling to make a difference in people's lives. Check out my site and I hope you like the small bio about you in the "about" page.......

Manual Osteopath

It is with tears in my eyes that I say farewell to you all. The sales of Union Ergonomics (UE) and Spinal Traction Clinic (STC) franchise head offices have been finalized and I have been replaced as the director and chief executive officer (CEO) of these companies. Ms Reyes replaces me as the director and CEO of these companies and their subsidiaries including Gene Lab DNA (GLD).

While I enjoyed working in these companies; my true passion rest in teaching and I found handling so many businesses took me away from my true passion which is teaching osteopathy at National Academy of Osteopathy. That is why I had to be replaced with someone who is solely dedicated to these business ventures.

I remain for a short while accessible to UE as a business consultant to facilitate a smooth transfer of the positions. Union Ergonomics, Spinal Traction Clinic and Gene Lab DNA continue operation as usual and without interruption. The businesses remain the same, just I, one member of the executive board have been replaced. All other employees are remaining with the companies. No employee has been terminated and as a condition of the sale; all employees must remain with the company for at least the next 2 years.

I wish Union Ergonomics, Gene Lab DNA and Spinal Traction Clinic continued success with the new director. It was a great experience working in these companies. I learnt a lot and I do hope the new management continues providing the same excellent service I have been providing to our employees, clients and franchisees.

May health, wealth and happiness be with you all, always.

Sincerely,

Manual osteopath; Mr Amir Ghafari (graduate of National Academy of Osteopathy class of September 2011) has been hired by a leading massage therapy college in Richmond Hill (Ontario) to teach manual techniques. Mr Ghafari is also in the process of setting up his own private osteopathy clinic at Yonge and Cummer area in North York (Ontario). We wish him the best in his new career.

National Academy of Osteopathy (NAO) full time students are now approved by the Canadian Revenue Agency (CRA) to receive $400 for education tax credit and $260 for textbooks tax credit (regardless of how much they spend on text books). The total of $660 is now offered to National Academy of Osteopathy students who register in the Diploma in Manual Osteopathy (DOMP) Program. This applies only to students who are a Canadian citizen, Canadian permanent resident or a Canadian refugee. It does not apply to the visa students or non-Canadian students.

Non-Canadian students are encouraged to check with the tax agencies of their own countries as certain countries offer educational tax credits to students.

A memorial services is being held for the 40th passing day of Mr Ali Pourgol, RIP, the beloved father of Dr Shahin Pourgol at 5941 Leslie Street in North York (Ontario) from 2pm to 4pm on Sunday, March 04th, 2012.

The heartfelt condolences of National Academy of Osteopathy staff, faculty and students go out to Dr Shahin Pourgol and family for the passing of his father; Mr Ali Pourgol on January 24, 2012.

Mr Ali Pourgol (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pIW0-DMXjo); was the most well known English teacher in the city of Rasht in Iran, having taught 1000s of students in his 48 years of teaching career. Some of his students are now students of NAO as well. He was a self made man; losing his mother right after birth and his fatehr 8 years later. He was raised by relatives in the village of Kharat Mahale near Rasht; and later in the village of Galeshkheh (Gilan).
He never stopped educating himself. Walked 4 hours daily to get to school. Was first from his village to get accepted to the biggest university in Iran (University of Tehran). Became a teacher; then principal. Opened the first translation bureau in the province of Gilan; followed by the largest private school in Rasht. He then authored numerous books. He was offered the position of mayor in Rasht which he declined. His love and passion was teaching which he continued to the end.

Thousands attended his funeral in Rasht and thousands of his students across the world have sent their condolences. He is buried right next to the legendary Mirza Kochak Khan Jangali in Rasht.

May there be comfort in knowing that someone so special will never be forgotten. Rasht will not be the same without him.

Honourable Rob Ford and members of Toronto City Council extended their greetings and well wishes for the holidays to National Academy of Osteopathy. This is a great gesture on their behalf to think of NAO students and faculty during the holidays. National Academy of Osteopathy is grateful for this kind thoughtful gesture of honourable Ford, mayor of Toronto, the biggest Canadian city.

National Academy of Osteopathy is proud to announce that one of its professors; Dr. Abazar Habibinia, MD, CDTT, CSN, has been chosen as Best Nutrition Professor of the Year 2011 in the graduation ceremony of City Hall (Toronto).

We congratulate Dr. Habibinia on this wonderful accomplishment and are honoured to have him as a colleague in our faculty.

Keep it up Doctor!

Oxytocin is a hormone released by the hypothalamus during breastfeeding and bounding experiences, such as hugging, kissing and social engagement. It creates a wide range of physiological, emotional & behavioural effects.

Oxytocin is a critical antistress agent, able to reduce social fears and anxiety and inhibit the brain's defensive fight-flight response.

Researchers have found dramatic positive changes in veterans with severe post-traumatic stress disorder who increased production of Oxytocin by natural means.

Osteopathic soft tissue therapy is one of the natural ways that can increase production of Oxytocin in the body. Interestingly Oxytocin was found to make people more extrovert and social as well.

The average hourly rate for manual osteopaths in Ontario is $30 per hour. Yet many rehab clinics are specifically looking for manual osteopaths who graduated from National Academy of Osteopathy.

NAO is building a reputation as being the best clinically oriented osteopathic college in the world. We teach more osteopathic techniques than any other osteopathy college in Canada. And this is something rehab clinics look for in an employee.

Mr Amir Kazemi; BSc., DO(MP), DCMOEB has been hired by a rehabilitation clinic in Richmond Hill, Ontario at $50 per hour. We congratulate Mr Kazemi for raising the bar for all manual osteopaths in Ontario. Great job.

Manual osteopathy is a fast growing rewarding profession with zero unemployment. Mr Conor O'Flynn (from Kitchener, Ontario); a full time student at Toronto NAO campus (class of Sept 2011) contacted a few clinics in Kitchener asking them about the possibility of him working there upon graduation in January 28, 2012. Six rehabilitation clinics in Kitchener offered him a position when they realized he is a National Academy student.

NAO is building a reputation as being the best clinically oriented osteopathic college in the world. We teach more osteopathic techniques than any other osteopathy college in Canada. And this is something rehab clinics look for in an employee.

National Academy of Osteopathy (NAO) admission office # 47 has just been signed in Bogota, Colombia with physiotherapist; Ms. Paula Andrea Ibargün Escobar on an equal basis partnership. We welcome Ms. Escobar to NAO family and wish her success in her new business. She is the second female (with Mexico City) & the third physiotherapist (with Seoul & Mexico City) owning a NAO admission office.

We do hope to have a NAO admission office in every major Latin American city there. NAO has already signed admission offices in Venezuela (Caracas & Maracaibo), and Mexico (Mexico City).

Lectures in Bogota will be taught in the Spanish language. This makes it 4 the number of Spanish speaking NAO admission offices.

We are on our way to reach our goal of having 100 admission offices by the end of 2012.

We are excited to announce that manual osteopathy program of National Academy of Osteopathy is now available in French. NAO now teaches manual osteopathy in 60 cities in seven languages: French, English, Persian (Farsi), Mandarin, Spanish, Arabic and Korean. There is no other osteopathy college teaching in 7 languages. Once again this osteopathy school made history.

Due to high demands and shortage of manual osteopaths in Canada; National Academy of Osteopathy has received approval to expand the Canadian student admissions by 25%. NAO has a limit of how many students it can accept from each jurisdiction. This has been set by the Board of Governors to prohibit oversaturation of the market.

There is a shortage of manual osteopaths in Canada. NAO students are receiving multiple job offers from rehab clinics before they finish the program. Mr. Amir Kazemi; one of the NAO graduates received 10 job offers and has been hired by a rehab clinic in Richmond Hill (Ontario) at $50 per hour. NAO encourages everyone to have a manual osteopathy treatments with a NAO graduate to experience firsthand how wonderful osteopathic treatment is.

Rehab clinics are asking specifically for NAO graduates. Clinics realize the educations these students receive in health care marketing is unique only to National Academy of Osteopathy and they want to benefit from it.

NAO diploma is accepted by over 95% of insurers in Canada. NAO manual osteopaths in Canada are permitted by insurers to dispense custom made foot orthotics, orthopaedic footwear and compression socks and bill insurers for them. They are also able to use physiotherapy modalities such as ultrasound, electrotherapy, decompression traction therapy and laser on patients with musculoskeletal and joint pain.

NAO is the only osteopathy college in Canada offering certification programs in physiotherapy, decompression traction therapy, orthotics & support hose.

National Academy of Osteopathy graduates are able to perform most duties a chiropractor is permitted to do (except medical diagnosis). As such they are of great benefit to rehab clinics.

We want to thank all NAO graduates for making us a success story. With your excellent clinical work; you made NAO what we are today.

With a population of 21.2 Million (almost 70% of Canadian population!); Mexico City has always been one of the cities we wished to expand to. To be able to educate Mexican manual osteopaths and to be able to serve such huge population has always been one of our top priorities. We want people everywhere have access to manual osteopathy treatments.

We welcome Ms. Parada to our family and wish her the best in her new chosen academic business.

Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do"

I always urge my students to fall in love with what they do and success would follow. I use example of Steve Job as a creative man who changed the world. While Bill Gates will be known for his philanthropy 100 years from now; Steve Jobs will forever be known as one of the most innovative man of 20th century.

RIP Steve.

We are quite excited to announce National Academy of Osteopathy (NAO) has accepted an equal share partnership with Mr Saeid R. Safaei; president of the Iranian Mortgage Association in Canada and also owner of the Scarborough Union Ergonomics Clinic in Ontario (Canada).

Mr. Safaei, and his two partners in Iran are set to open an admissions office in Kerman and two admission offices in Tehran. Tehran; with a population of over 12 million is best suited for two admission offices. These offices are set to open within the next 3 months.

These offices in addition with Shiraz & Isfahan; make it 5; the total number of National Academy of Osteopathy admission offices in Iran; and 8 in total (Toronto, Seoul & Amman are the other ones).

National Academy of Osteopathy goal is to have 100 admission offices across the world by the end of 2012 so patients everywhere could have access to osteopathic medicine. We are getting there at a speedy rate. Anyone interested in helping us expand internationally by opening an admissions office where there is not any please contact NAO at info@nationalacademyofosteopathy.com.

National Academy of Osteopathy (NAO) congratulates Ms. Liu Ai Cao for being accepted for membership to International Osteopathic Association; the largest osteopathic association in the world. Ms. Cao just received her license to practice manual osteopathy in Ontario from IOA.

NAO wishes the best in her work as a manual osteopath.

Dear Friends:

I am very happy to announce that for the first time ever; an osteopathy college has opened an admissions office in an Arab country. Dr. Saed Albarghouty, MD, a medical specialist in physical medicine has joined NAO as an equal shared partner to open and operate an admissions office in Amman, Jordan.

We are quite excited as this provides the opportunity for Arabs in Jordan and the neighbouring countries to have access to manual osteopathy treatments, one of the best health care systems possible.

We welcome Dr Albarghouty to our family and wish him best of times in his new chosen career.

NAO now teaches in 36 cities in 20 countries; with admission offices in 5 cities (Toronto, Seoul, Shiraz, Isfahan and Amman).

National Academy of Osteopathy welcomes the campus based and interactive manual osteopathy class of September 2011.

This is the most diverse class we have ever had. Included in our students are physicians, surgeons, nurses, chiropractors, physiotherapists, massage therapists, kinesiologists, ergonomists, engineers, teachers, a lawyer, a paralegal, acupuncturists, naturopaths, personal support workers, physiotherapy assistants, freshly graduated high schools, and many others.

Our students are located in North and South America, Asia and Europe. We did not have any students in Africa or Oceania. We are hoping to have admission offices in Nigeria and Tanzania soon so African population could have access to osteopathic treatments.

National Academy of Osteopathy is happy to announce Mr Kazemi, DOMP, DCMOEB, a NAO graduate - Class of February 2011 has joined the osteopathic techniques department of NAO as a teaching assistant.
Mr Kazemi currently practices manual osteopathy on a part time basis in Hamilton. We welcome him to our college and wish him best of times in his new career.

National Academy of Osteopathy has expanded to the city of Isfahan, Iran. NAO admissions office in Isfahan is set to open by February 2012. Dr Zarei has partnered with NAO to manage the admission office there. With the addition of Shiraz and Isfahan National Academy of Osteopathy now teaches in 35 cities across 19 countries.

We are happy to announce National Academy of Osteopathy has partnered with Mr Ahn, an interactive manual osteopathy student to open an admission office in Seoul, South Korea. Mr. Ahn is a physiotherapists and NAO admission office in Seoul will be located in his physiotherapy clinic.

NAO has also partnered with Dr. Zarei, a family physician in Shiraz, Iran to open an admission office there in his clinic. We welcome these health practitioners to our family and wish them success in expanding manual osteopathy education in Iran and South Korea.

NAO strives to have admission offices in the top 100 cities of the world by the end of 2012 and as such we are looking for service businesses in these cities to act as our admission offices on an equal share partnership basis. To read more about this great business opportunity click on the link below:

http://www.prlog.org/11670628-national-academy-of-osteopathy-looking-for-partners-to-set-up-admission-offices.html

National Academy of Osteopathy strives to provide manual osteopathy education in every city of the world so patients in all corners of the world could have access to osteopathic medicine, which is one of the best health care systems when dealing with disorders of muscles, bones, joints and nerves.

As such we are looking for established businesses in any city with a minimum population of 250,000, to join us as admission offices of National Academy of Osteopathy, on an equal partnership basis in the city they are operating. There is no cost involved in joining National Academy of Osteopathy. The responsibility of the admission office is limited to giving information about our osteopathic college in their native language to potential students.

This is a great opportunity for any service oriented business such as medical clinics, physiotherapy clinics, accounting offices, law offices, etc to offer a much needed service to their city. By introducing manual osteopathy to these students; thousands of patients will have access to one of the best health care system of the world. This is an amazing opportunity that will not last as we can only open one admission office in each city.

Please contact Dr Shahin Pourgol at pourgol@pourgol.com if interested in becoming an equal share partner of National Academy of Osteopathy by operating an admission office in your city.

Please note as of now we have chosen partners in Shiraz, Iran and Seoul, South Korea. Admission offices will be opened in these cities in the next few months and as such these cities are no longer available. All other cities in Canada, USA, Europe, Asia, Australia and Africa are available as long as they have a population of 250,000 or more.

NAO BOOK LIST SEPT 2011

I am very proud to announce my friend and schoolmate, Dr Mohsen Kazemi (CMCC class of 1996) has been chosen as a member of Canadian National Taekwondo team.

This is the first time an Iranian/Canadian sports chiropractor has ever been selected for the Canadian National Taekwondo team. I on behalf of all National Academy of Osteopathy staff and faculty wish him best of luck in the coming competitions.

Dr. Shahin Pourgol

Congratulations to one of the top graduates of National Academy of Osteopathy; MS. Angele Boyle, RMT, DO(MP), DCMOEB for combing osteopathy and massage therapy to make a beautiful & effective temporomandibular joint (TMJ) treatment system. We are so proud of our students and graduates. NAO graduates the best manual osteopaths in the world.

Mr. Jack Layton; leader of the federal New Democratic Party (NDP) restored a measure of humanity to Canadian national politics. He will be missed.

My deepest condolences for his passing to his wife honorable Olivia Chow, member of parliament and the rest of his family. He made New Democratic Party the opposition federal party for the first time in Canadian history. This is amazing achievement and I think his personality was the main factor in this.

I admire people who achieve great results. He will forever be part of Canadian history. A life lived well. Farewell Jack.

Dr. Shahin Pourgol

National Academy of Osteopathy would like to welcome four new employees Maria, Sasha, Teresa, and Luary who are helping us with administrative duties.

We are happy to announce that National Academy of Osteopathy has been approved by Mobile Osteopathy Canada and Union Ergonomics for two new scholarships. We now have 38 scholarships offered by National Academy of Osteopathy to national and international students.

National Academy of Osteopathy congratulates Ms. Hong Liu, DO(MP), DCMOEB, Ms. Liu Ai Cao, RMT, DO(MP), DCMOEB, Ms. Nooshin Ahmadi Fard, DO(MP), DCMOEB, and Ms. Angle Boyle, RMT, DO(MP), DCMOEB for becoming full licensed member of International Osteopathic Association. They are now eligible to practice in Canada. NAO faculty are honoured to be able to teach such fine students

Professor Shahin Pourgol, alongside a number of other academicians, politicians, policy makers and businesspersons was invited to give a presentation in regards to the current economic crisis in the USA and Europe and how to prevent this in Canada.

Here is a short summary of what Professor Pourgol spoke about:

Canada was originally an ideal location for manufacturing goods as the raw materials were in great supply. The nation flourished, with an economy based on manufacturing.

After the end of the cold war; certain type of economic liberty was born in China. China’s economy was mainly based on farming. Due to correct economic decisions they got involved in manufacturing. Due to cheap labour; and some political manoeuvring in keeping their currency law; they made great fortunes. They did another smart decision. They lent this new found fortune to first world countries and in turn their received duty free, tax free export of their products. This made them the richest country in the world.

It is now impossible for Canada to compete with China in manufacturing. That is why most manufacturing jobs died down in Canada.

To remedy this Canada invested in information technology (IT). This was good as we became one of the best in the world. Unfortunately due to advancement of internet based technologies such as Voice Over Internet Protocols (VOIP); as well as cheap labour and their ability to speak English, India now surpassed us in IT. Most IT jobs are going to India.

I personally feel, the way for Canada to survive and prosper and keep the current level of high quality life is to invest in service based industries. I believe the future rests in service based small businesses. These are positions such as osteopaths, chiropractors, painters, plumbers, carpenters, physicians, dry cleaners, etc that cannot be outsourced to India. These positions will always be safe.

I also believe there should be a heavy tax levied on Canadian import products. This would force consumers to buy Canadian.

My last advice is for banks not to give mortgage to just anyone with a job who is interested in buying a house. Buying a house with 5% or less down payment is just not a good investment. People have to invest at least 25% in their homes. This alone would have prevented the house meltdown of the USA.

The above was the summary of Professor Pourgol's presentation. Professor Pourgol personally believes becoming a manual osteopath is the best thing individuals can do to secure their future. This is a skilled based profession that can be applied anywhere in the world. No matter where one practices osteopathy, there is always a demand. In Canada there is a one to two months waiting list to see an osteopath. In Iran the waiting list is six months!

Having a Diploma in Manual Osteopathic Practice (DO(MP) can help you immigrate to Canada and become a Canadian permanent resident, leading to Canadian citizenship and a Canadian passport in 3 years following arrival in Canada.

National Academy of Osteopathy international graduates (non-Canadian) are eligible to obtain a license from International Osteopathic Association and practice in all Canadian provinces; including Ontario, British Columbia, Quebec and Alberta.

Osteopathy is a much in demand profession in Canada. As such high points are given by Citizenship & Immigration Canada to applicants who are osteopaths.

International NAO graduates from Iran, China, Taiwan, South Korea and other countries are able to apply under the Skilled Workers category of Citizenship & Immigration Canada. To start the process NAO international graduates need a job offer from an osteopathic clinic in Canada.

For international NAO graduates who are interested in immigrating to Canada and working here; NAO highly recommends immigration consulting services of Mr Sukanta Saha (lawyer) and Ms. Shirin Pourgol (paralegal) of Pourgol Paralegal services. Ms. Pourgol is one of the top immigration consultants in Canada and a member of the Upper Canada Law Society. She can be reached at immigration@pourgolparalegal.com.

Ms. Shirin Pourgol has an excellent business relationship with some of the biggest osteopathy clinics in Canada and as such is able to secure a guaranteed employment and job offer for international NAO graduates with an osteopathic clinic. Her immigration consulting services are guaranteed; meaning in the unlikely event she is unable to secure Canadian permanent residence status for any international NAO graduate; her consulting fee is returned to the applicant.

National Academy of Osteopathy congratulates two of its best students; Kyle Perks, DO(MP), DCMOEB and Amir Kazemi, DO(MP), DCMOEB for becoming full licensed member of International Osteopathic Association. They are now eligible to practice in Canada. Kyle has already been hired by Mississauga Wellness Clinic and Amir has started working in Hamilton Union Health Clinic. NAO faculty are honoured to be able to teach such fine students.

We are glad to announce Dr Shahin Pourgol just finished authoring a new book; this one being in the field of osteopathy; his first in this field. The book is titled “Manual Osteopathy Techniques: Lumbar”. It is a compendium of different osteopathic techniques such as osteo-articular joint mobilization, soft tissue therapy, muscle energy technique, etc as it relates to the lumbar spine.

Dr Pourgol is in the process of authoring more manual osteopathy technique books; which hopefully will be completed soon. These books will be published by National Academy of Osteopathy Printing House.

Dr Pourgol is deeply in love with osteopathy profession and his main goal is to expand it internationally so everyone; in any corner of the world could have access to this amazing & fascinating method of health care.

Kyle Perks, BA, DO(MP), DCMOEB, obtained his Diploma in Osteopathic Manual Practice from the National Academy of Osteopathy. He has a diverse background in rehabilitative health sciences, bringing a multifaceted approach to manual healthcare. Kyle Perks has experience in kinesiology and exercise science, physical therapy, occupational therapy, nutrition and manual osteopathy.

Prior to completing his studies in osteopathy, Kyle Perks completed his Bachelors degree in psychology, with a secondary focus in kinesiology at York University. After receiving his degree, he continued his education in health science by obtaining a dual Diploma (with honours) in physiotherapy and occupational therapy. As a certified PTA/OTA, Kyle Perks completed his placement at Mississauga Wellness and was inspired to continue his education to become an Osteopathic Practitioner.

Kyle Perks practices only evidence-based, osteopathic techniques including osteo-articular joint mobilizations, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF), Muscle Energy Technique (MET) and soft tissue therapy. He also provides physiotherapy modalities including interferential current (IFC), ultrasound therapy, cold laser therapy, heat and cryotherapy and is very well versed in rehabilitative exercises and in muscular strengthening and conditioning. Kyle Perks is excited to be working in a multidisciplinary healthcare environment at Mississauga Wellness. His primary focus is helping his patients achieve optimal function and overall health and wellness. He looks forward to meeting you!

Kyle Perks is a member and licensed through the International Osteopathic Association (IOA) and is a Diplomate of the Canadian Manual Osteopathy Examining Board (CMOEB).

National Academy of Osteopathy has just completed production of the first instructional DVD in the Sports Osteopathy. The DVD is titled “Kick Faster in 5 Minutes”. This DVD is designed for martial artists and teaches practical techniques that can be practiced solo in 5 minutes per day to increase kicking speed by affecting the type IIb (fast twitch) muscle fibers.

National Academy of Osteopathy has accepted production of this vast project for two main reasons. The first being to introduce general public to the Osteopathic Sports Energy Technique (the only osteopathy technique created in Canada) and the second making sports osteopathy more popular.

While sports therapy is a big part of medicine and chiropractic; it is unfortunately not practiced widely in the manual osteopathy profession. NAO wants to change this. As such it is the only Canadian osteopathy college teaching sports osteopathy; as part of its curriculum.

Dear Shahin,

Ontarians have always been builders, hard workers and focused on the future -- it's how we face our challenges.

Our most recent hurdle was the global recession. We got through it our way - The Ontario Way: with hard work and by building together. It wasn't easy, but today our province is back on track.

We're not going to slow down now. That's just not our way.

This past weekend, in a major public address, I outlined the six challenges Ontarians need to face head-on in the coming years. But to succeed we must do it together.

Ontario Liberals are different. We're not just out to win the coming election -- we're out to win the future for Ontario. Every day we're working hard to make Ontario stronger. We believe that if we face our challenges together, we will build a brighter future, together.

Please pass this letter on, and let people know that we are doing our part to build the Ontario you want for you, your children, and grandchildren.

Hon. Dalton McGuinty, MPP

Leader of the Ontario Liberal Party

Premier of Ontario

National Academy of Osteopathy would like to congratulate Mr. Kyle Perks (manual osteopath and diplomate of the Canadian Manual Osteopathy Examining Board) for being the first National Academy of Osteopathy graduate to be accepted as a full manual osteopath member to the International Osteopathic Association (IOA), one of the largest osteopathic associations in the world. We have been informed IOA has just approved Mr Perks' application and his license to practice manual osteopathy is being issued soon.
Mr. Perks has already secured employment with a rehab clinic in Toronto, Ontario and is eager to start practicing manual osteopathy when his license number is issued by IOA.
Mr. Perks; we wish you happiness and success in your new chosen profession.

National Academy of Osteopathy, Union Ergonomics and Spinal Traction Clinic students, employees, franchisees and faculty congratulate world famous osteopath; Dr Shahin Pourgol on developing and founding the Osteopathic Sports Energy Technique (SET). This is the first time a Canadian originates an osteopathic technique. It is time for Canada to have a place in osteopathic history.

SET is a form of advanced osteopathic technique designed to improve athletic performance by increasing speed. This is achieved by working on the fast twitch type IIb skeletal muscle fibres.

Using osteopathic S.E.T. athletes can achieve dramatic increase in speed often after the first session! They can run, kick, jump or punch faster often after doing the first set of S.E.T. techniques.

National Academy of Osteopathy (NAO) employees, faculty, board of trustee, all the NAO part time students, and Dr Pourgol would like to congratulate NAO’s first graduating full time manual osteopathy class of 2011 for all passing the manual osteopathy board examinations administered by the Canadian Manual Osteopathy Examining Board (www.cmoeb.org).

National Academy of Osteopathy now has a 100% board exams success rate. NAO’s first graduating class of 2011 is scheduled to join the International Osteopathic Association (www.internationalosteopathicassociation.org) to receive a license number to practice manual osteopathy profession in Toronto, Ontario, Canada or any other jurisdiction they may so choose. With a license number from IOA these graduates may work in almost any country they so wish; including Canada (all provinces), USA (all states), Iran, China, Venezuela, Columbia, Mexico, Spain, Portugal, Italy, France, England, Australia, New Zealand, India, Dominican Republic, Barbados, St. Martin, etc.

Congratulations NAO full time class of 2011. You made everybody so proud.

A new study finds that patients with chronic low back pain who got a one-hour soft tissue therapy once a week, for 10 weeks, fared better than those receiving the usual medications for the nagging condition.

The research involved about 400 patients aged 20 to 65 with chronic lower back pain.

Daniel Cherkin of the Group Health Research Institute in Seattle, USA headed the research. Dr. Andrea Furlan of the Institute for Work & Health in Toronto says the findings are important, because if people with chronic low back pain can feel better quicker, they might be able to resume regular activities of daily life sooner.

The study is published in the Annals of Internal Medicine.

“Soft tissue therapy is one of the most important techniques manual osteopaths use to treat neuromusculoskeletal & joints conditions and it is taught in detail at National Academy of Osteopathy. In fact NAO teaches more soft tissue therapy techniques than any other osteopathy college in Canada”; says Dr. Abazar Habibinia, MD; chair of the department of clinical sciences at National Academy of Osteopathy.

National Academy of Osteopathy is the only manual osteopathy college offering a manual osteopathy diploma program in Iran. As this live online interactive manual osteopathy program is offered in Farsi in Iran; it is necessary to have a website in Farsi for the general Iranian population. NAO has now set up a Farsi website (www.pezeshkee.com).

We are quite proud to be the first college in the history to introduce this wonderful health profession to the population of Iran. This has always been one of our missions to let everyone everywhere have access to manual osteopathy treatments.

We would like to thank all our Iranian manual osteopathy graduates as well as the Iranian professors who made this possible.

National Academy of Osteopathy is now teaching manual osteopathy in Farsi language in Iran. NAO is the only manual osteopathy college offering 4 months full time or 9 months part time interactive live online manual osteopathy program in Iran; with two weeks of onsite practical training. We are also in the process of setting up an admission office in Tehran.

Manual medicine has a long history in Iran and dates back thousands of years. Avicenna (Ibne Sina) the famous Persian developer of medicine had wrote about manual therapy. Dr. Pourgol completed his thesis 16 years ago on the history of spinal manipulation in Iran.

We are quite proud to be the first college in the history to introduce this wonderful health profession to the population of Iran. This has always been one of our missions to let everyone everywhere have access to manual osteopathy treatments.

We would like to thank all our Iranian manual osteopathy graduates as well as the Iranian professors who made this possible.

India has changed its current education laws. Now foreign owned colleges and universities are permitted to open a location in India without partnering with a local Indian college or university.

As a matter of fact; the honourable Minister of Resources; Mr. Patel indicated that they are looking for additional 1000 universities and 45,000 colleges within the next few years to open up in India; and hoping that many of them would be foreign owned. York University is planning to open a school of business there. McMaster University as well as other Canadian Universities are looking into expanding to India as well.

India is a perfect location for business expansion the following reasons:

1) It is the largest democratic country in the world.
2) Population of more than 1 billion.
3) English speaking country.
4) Member of commonwealth countries.
5) Safe secure country. India has never started a war in its history.
6) Best tasting food ever!
7) Average income growth of 9% per year. Meaning every 10 years the population income doubles. This is one of the highest income growths of any nation.
8) Highly educated population. Most foreign students of North American and European universities are Indian.
9) India is making more millionaires every week that any other country in the world.
10) There is only one osteopathy college there.
11) India is set to become a superpower within the next few years.
12) Large wealthy population who can afford high tuition of foreign educational centres.

We are very interested to expand National Academy of Osteopathy there by opening a full campus. Unfortunately due to distance we are unable to do so; the same way we can in the Dominican Republic. We are looking for an individual who is interested in expanding osteopathy in India by partnering with National Academy of Osteopathy for this joint venture; and who is able to move permanently to India.

Please respond directly to Pourgol@pourgol.com if this is something that interests you. Please feel free to forward this news to anyone you feel might be interested in this business opportunity.

Thank you.

The field of genetics and DNA testing is growing exponentially. There is a need for standard education and training for individuals involved in DNA sample collection and handling. For certain DNA testing such as paternity test, maternity test, and siblingship test, for results to be accepted in a court of law; in matters of child custody, child support, wills, and distribution of assets, it is required for the DNA sample collectors to be certified to be able to properly identify the involved parties and to certify identification documents presented prior to taking DNA samples.

The advances in genetic studies now allow individuals to get their Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) tested, in order to determine if they are prone to developing many diseases such as Alzheimer’s, diabetes (type 1 & 2), heart disease, or breast cancer. As a result of this knowledge, customized nutritional and lifestyle strategies can be created and implemented to take appropriate preventative measures. If executed early enough, individuals can work towards prevention of a disease. DNA samples are also used for paternity test, immigration test, ethnicity test, aboriginal test, ancestry test, identity test, avuncular test, siblingship test, maternity test, twins test, etc. These tests may be ordered by the individuals, health practitioners, family physicians, laboratories, hospitals, paralegals, lawyers and certain government agencies amongst others.

This distance education study at home program qualifies individuals to find employment in genetic and DNA laboratories, clinics, DNA sample collectors & medical couriers. Students learn how to take heredity history and how to safely collect and handle different types of DNA samples (no blood work involved).

Certificate: successful graduates of this course are entitled to use Certified DNA Sample Collector (CDSC) designation. A certificate with this designation will be issued upon successful completion of the program.

Tuition: total cost for the program includes tuition of $986.00, application fee of $150.00 and $195.00 for educational material (book, DVD, DNA sample collection kit).

Student Loan: student loan is not available for this course.

Scholarship: Gene Collect, the largest global provider of DNA sample collection services offers scholarships of $1,283.68 to selected individuals to cover the full cost of tuition, tax and the application fee for the DNA sample collection program. To inquire about this award please contact Gene Collect directly at humanresources@genecollect.com.

Schedule: the DNA sample collection program can be taken as a distance education study at home program six times per year (January, March, May, July, September, & November). The course is 40 hours in duration; one month part time (Saturdays & Sundays) or one week full time (Monday to Friday).

I am happy to share with you photos of Mr. Mohajer and sons receiving the 2010 Union Ergonomics franchisee of the year.

Mr. Mohajer; owner of the Brampton Union Ergonomics Clinic in Ontario, Canada and his two hard working sons surpassed the million dollar sales in this clinic last year.

Mr. Mohajer was away and as such we could not officially present him with the franchisee of the year award. It was my honour to present this award to him today. It is always so nice to see this hard working family who are one of the most successful Union Ergonomics franchisees.

Thank you Mr. Mohajer and family for making Union Ergonomics a success story.

At National Academy of Osteopathy (NAO) we are working hard to make osteopathy treatments available to patients everywhere. As such NAO has expanded to the following Canadian cities: Vancouver, Ottawa, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Montreal & Quebec City.

With our current locations in Iran (Tehran), Taiwan (Taipei), China (Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Xian, & Tianjin), & Canada (Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Ottawa, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, & Quebec City); NAO now offers manual osteopathy education in 17 cities across the globe.

There is no other osteopathy college in the world offering manual osteopathy education in so many cities. In less than a year of operation; National Academy of Osteopathy has become the largest manual osteopathy college in the world.

National Academy of Osteopathy (NAO) students in Iran, Taiwan & China are now eligible to write the manual osteopathy board exams administered by Canadian Manual Osteopathy Examining Board (www.cmoeb.org). Upon successful completion of the board exams; these students may apply to International Osteopathic Association (www.internationalosteopathicassociation.org) to receive certificate of registration. They may then practice manual osteopathy.
IOA members must adhere to the code of ethics and clinical guidelines established by International Osteopathic association.

The Canadian Manual Osteopathy Board of Examiners (CMOEB) is the principal testing agency for the manual osteopathy profession. Established in 2010, the CMOEB develops and administers standardized national examinations according to established guidelines. Among the benefits of the CMOEB exams are:

*promoting high standards of competence
*enhancing professional credibility

In providing standardized written and performance assessments for the manual osteopathy profession, the CMOEB develops, administers, analyzes, scores, and reports results from various examinations.

In its role as a Canadian testing agency, the CMOEB espouses no particular manual osteopathy philosophy, but formulates test plans according to information provided collectively by the manual osteopathy colleges, field practitioners, subject specialists, and a Practice Analysis of Manual osteopathy.

Dear Friends:

On behalf of all staff at Union Ergonomics, Spinal Traction Clinic and National Academy of Osteopathy; I would like to say happy New Year to all Persians everywhere. Wish this year be filled with love, health, wealth and happiness for you and your family.

With the spring and the Iranian New Year just in the corner; I am happy to announce great news. The Ministry of Health in Taiwan has permitted National Academy of Osteopathy to offer the manual osteopathy program in Taiwan.

National Academy of Osteopathy registrar; Ms. Peggy Chiang is leaving for Taiwan for a ten days business trip tomorrow. She will be working on the logistics of expanding NAO to Taiwan.

Taiwan is a large island with a population of 23 millions. I am so excited to introduce manual osteopathy there. Very soon thousands of Taiwanese will have access to one of the best health professions in the world. NAO graduate manual osteopaths will decrease pain and improve function of countless Taiwanese. This is the best joy life. To produce healers who help people live better. There can be no better profession than this.

From its inception, NAO has provided leadership in scientific; evidence-based manual osteopathy education. Our proud traditions of academic and clinical excellence—preparing students for achievement and success—have always been at the core of what we do, and will always remain our highest priorities.

In keeping with our motto, “Clinically Based; Practice Oriented; Scientific Manual Osteopathic Education,” we complement basic and clinical sciences with the art of caring for people.

• NAO is well known as a leader in scientific manual osteopathy education. We only teach techniques that are effective and proven through evidence based research.

• At NAO we place heavy emphasis on business & clinical education. We prepare NAO graduates for the real world by teaching them business principles, including marketing, investment, & tax planning.

• NAO is the only osteopathy school in Canada offering training in physiotherapy modalities, orthotics, support hose, decompression therapy & clinical ergonomics.

• Because NAO graduates are expertly prepared to work in integrated care settings and to provide the highest quality patient care, they are the most likely to succeed in this new environment. We graduate successful manual osteopaths.

• Our manual osteopathy technique labs average approximately ten students to each professor (10:1). This kind of low student-faculty ratio assures you will confidently enter the manual osteopathy profession after graduation, prepared to provide the best treatment for your patients.

• NAO is approved by International Osteopathic Association (IOA) as an accredited manual osteopathy school. NAO students may join IOA upon graduation to receive certificate of registration.

• NAO graduates who are members of IOA may practice in most countries of the world; including Canada, USA, England, Australia, Iran, China, Brazil, India, Jamaica, Russia, Latvia, Ukraine, Poland, Taiwan, Philippines, Venezuela, Costa Rica, Peru, Mexico, & Italy.

• NAO graduates are eligible to receive manual osteopathy malpractice insurance from Holman Insurance at a preferred rate.

• NAO is approved by Canadian Manual Osteopathy Examining Board (CMOEB). NAO graduates may sit for board exams upon graduation.

• NAO is affiliated with Union Ergonomics & Spinal Traction Clinic. With 57 franchises in this group; they are the #1 provider of ergonomic services to Canadian workers; the #1 provider of orthopaedic shoes to welfare recipients and the leader in providing affordable back pain relief through decompression traction therapy.

NAO is proud of the leadership and rich heritage it contributes to the manual osteopathy profession. The future of health care will focus on integrating disciplines, preparing competent professionals, providing effective care, and promoting health.

National Academy of Osteopathy will prepare students to fill the rapidly evolving role of the manual osteopath. I invite you to become part of our vision of manual osteopathy's growth and a future of serving patients in need of our unique healing art and science.
Please click on the link to see NAO students practicing manual osteopathy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hki2b-oGl0k. This is what our students are saying about their training at NAO:
"The National Academy of Osteopathy has been an excellent experience thus far! Hands down, this is the best practical training I have received. Dr. Pourgol does a great job demonstrating the techniques on each of the students so that we can experience the technique first hand and know what we are supposed to feel. This allows us to communicate with the other students to see how our technique compares to the instructors. I am really enjoying the program and I look forward to going into class each day! "
Kyle Perks
Full Time Student-Class of 2011

"...Dr. Pourgol's lectures and clinical classes are all based on his professional experience in this field. Our other professors are also on top of their medical fields. Their patience and dedication to every student is overwhelming. There will be a new generation of Manual Osteopaths coming from NAO and I strongly believe we are being trained to be the best in Canada and perhaps in the world."
Jay David
Part Time Student-Class of 2011

"...For me “NATIONAL ACADEMY OF OSTEOPATHY” is like following Gandhi’s word: “Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.”
And after attending some classes, I feel, I made the right choice. I am happy to be part of this journey..."

I love my students. And I love teaching them. Sharing my clinical and business knowledge with them gives me so much joy and happiness.

Happy Persian New Year everyone!

We are very excited to report that International Osteopathic Association (IOA) has approved National Academy of Osteopathy (NAO) as an accredited manual osteopathy educational centre.

The NAO graduates who pass the board exams administered by Canadian Manual Osteopathy Examining Board (CMOEB) are now eligible to apply to International Osteopathic Association to receive certificate of registration.

NAO graduates who are IOA members adhere to the code of ethics and clinical guidelines established by IOA.

NAO is in the final stages of expanding to Iran & China. Soon it will export scientific based manual osteopathy there.

Dear Friends:

In a special ceremony attended by a number of distinguished guests; the Pourgol family coat of arms was revealed yesterday. A coat of arms is a symbol or collection of symbols, usually represented on a shield, which indicates the traits of a particular person, family, corporation, or state.

Each item in a coat of arms has detailed symbolism attached to it. Here is the short symbolism behind each item in the Pourgol family coat of arms:

1) The two royal falcons represent me “Shahin” as the patriarch of Pourgol family in Canada protecting the family. The name Shahin in Farsi means “royal falcon”.

2) On the shield; on top and bottom and the middle are colors of green, red and white symbolizing Iran; where Pourgol family came from.

3) In the middle of the shield; five maple leave; symbolizing Canada; where Pourgol family resides and the five initial members of Pourgol clan in Canada.

4) My dog Snowy on the shield represents unconditional love. The love I have for all family and people around me.

5) The lion on the shield has two meaning. First is a symbol of Venice, Italy; where I proposed to the love of my life. She is the reason behind all my success. Because of her I am the happiest man alive. Second; it symbolizes my son.

6) The two books symbolize my father’s school, and my school (National Academy of Osteopathy), as well as the love my dad instilled in me for books; which is one of the reasons for my success.

7) The green leave on top symbolizes nature that I love so dearly. It also symbolizes the village of Foshtom, city of Rasht and the province of Gilan that are so green.

8) The vertebra on top symbolizes chiropractic & Osteopathy. Chiropractic directed me toward a career in health. Osteopathy directed me to share my knowledge with students. Inside the vertebra is the word “Shahin” in Farsi.

9) Dream Big. Take Action; at the bottom is my motto in life. It is what I believe and what has taken me to where I am.

10) The color green, orange, and blue represent Union Ergonomics, Spinal Traction Clinic and National Academy of Osteopathy. They are entities that allowed me to help my fellow Canadians by creating jobs and providing a better life for so many people while helping thousands of patients decrease their pain. These colors also represent Trees, sun and sea that I love so much.

11) The purple color on the shield symbolizes my best friend Devika; who is the best human being I have ever met. She has taught me a lot about the fine art of tranquility.

Dr. Shahin Pourgol, DC, DO(MP), CDTT, CCE

We are happy to announce Holman Insurance has designed an insurance policy; specifically for manual osteopaths; titled “Medical Sector – Manual Osteopathy”. And National Academy of Osteopathy students are now approved for this custom designed malpractice insurance.

This is a comprehensive policy covering: Professional Negligence, Libel & Slander, Infringement of Copyright, Breach of Confidentiality, General Liability to Third Parties, & Rescuers & Good Samaritan Acts. The cost is generally $700 or more per year.

To receive more information about this malpractice insurance please contact Holman Insurance at: www.holmanins.com.

Please find attached links to three short videos of NAO full time manual osteopathy students practicing the fine art of spinal palpation under supervision of Dr. Shahin Pourgol.

We have a wide variety of students bringing diverse experiences to NAO. Our students include registered massage therapists, kinesiologist, occupational therapy assistant, physiotherapy assistant, athletic therapist, physician, surgeon, physiotherapist, computer programmer, business manager, orthotist, & information technologist. Although the majority are high school graduates without previous health background.

National Academy of Osteopathy is one of the few colleges that teach clinical and basic sciences such as anatomy and physiology that prepare students to study health sciences. Most osteopathic colleges only accept students with prior health experience.

We are very happy to report that after a lot of hard work, waiting and running around we have finally received approval from the Ministry of Health in Iran and China to offer the manual osteopathy program there. Once these are established; we will work on expanding to Brazil and India.

Our goal is to make National Academy of Osteopathy the largest college in the world. What osteopaths do, saves lives. For example; educating a patient in regards to osteoporosis would save their lives by making their bones stronger so when they fall, they do not break their bones. When a bone breaks in an elderly; it may cut the femoral artery and that is a leading cause of death in women above 60 years of age.

By expanding manual osteopathy internationally; we are saving lives and this is the greatest joy ever.

Monday was the first day of the full time manual osteopathy program at NAO. It was the first time Dr. Shahin Pourgol taught a class. When his lecture finished students rose & gave him standing ovation! It was an emotional moment for Dr. Pourgol.

We are very happy to announce National Academy of Osteopathy has added two new part time certificate programs which are:

1) Certified Fitter – Foot Orthotics
2) Certified Fitter – Support Hose

These programs lead to CFFO and CFSH certificates enabling manual osteopaths to dispense custom made foot orthotics and compression socks for their patients. Custom made foot orthotics and compression socks are effective medical devices that help many patients with foot and leg conditions.

NAO is the only osteopathy school in Canada offering these two courses.

National Academy of Osteopathy (NAO) is revolutionizing manual osteopathy education in Canada by offering the only physiotherapy modalities course designed specifically for manual osteopaths.

Certain patients with acute pain and injury cannot tolerate hands on treatment. These patients are generally referred to physiotherapists or given anti-inflammatory (NSAID) and pain medications by family physicians. Thanks to the Auxiliary Osteopathy Therapy program of NAO; manual osteopaths can now provide physiotherapy modalities treatments (such as ultrasound, electrotherapy, thermotherapy, & Cryotherapy) to patients suffering from severe pain. Physiotherapy modalities decrease pain and inflammation and as a result prepare patients to receive manual treatments provided by osteopaths.

Successful graduates are eligible to use the designation Certified Electrotherapist (CET). This course is open to all students and practitioners of manual osteopathy.

For more information about this certificate program please contact NAO registrar at (416) 635-6550.

We are happy to announce that the following distinguished professors have joined National Academy of Osteopathy teaching faculty:

Dr. Enkhee Jigjid, MD, Ph.D. (rehabilitation medicine)
Dr. Abazar Habibinia, MD (sports medicine)
Dr. Behzad Goodarzi, Ph.D. (psychology)
Dr. Lhamo Dolkar, MD (medicine)
Dr. Stanislav Lishnevsky, DO, M.P., R.Ac.P. (osteopathy).

Here is the list of required books all National Academy of Osteopathy students enrolled in the part time and full time manual osteopathy courses in 2011 must purchase prior to the beginning of their school start date.

nap_required_books-manual-osteopathy-program-feb 2011.pdf

Dr. Shahin Pourgol just finished typing the last paragraph of his new written work; titled: “Canadian Guide to Healthy Feet & Legs”.

This guide is written in an easy to read language; for the lay person filled with many practical tips; helping them to walk and stand better and longer without getting tired; while preventing common foot & leg disorders. Some of the topics include: exercises; treatments, injury prevention, & anatomy. Special attention is given to foot care for seniors, children and diabetics.

We would like to thank Ontario Occupational Health & Safety Board for their generous help and support with this work.

It is our pleasure to announce Mr. T. Mohajer; the owner of Brampton Union Ergonomics Clinic has been chosen as the Union Ergonomics franchisee of the year 2010.

The franchisee of the year award is the highest honour that can be bestowed upon a franchisee. The award is presented to the franchisee that displays teamwork and excellence in their day-to-day operations and has a reputation for doing quality, professional work.

Union Ergonomics head office is quite pleased to acknowledge Mr Mohajer’s excellent work with this award. During the past year Brampton Union Ergonomics Clinic continued to provide superb health care to all patients attending this clinic. As a result they are now operating on a full time basis (40 hours per week) and are fully booked. They are also one of the few clinics in our franchise family that hit the million dollar sales in less than a year.

“At Brampton Union Ergonomics Clinic, our employees are committed to providing the best ergonomic services. It’s important that we keep our professional image and overall Union Ergonomics brand name strong and to be able to continue providing best available health care to Canadian workers. I would like to be involved with where Union Ergonomics is headed and give regular input.” said Mr. T. Mohajer, franchise owner of the Union Ergonomics clinic in Brampton, Canada.

“This award speaks to the hard work and effort of a franchisee owner,” says Jenna Repath, COO of Union Ergonomics. “Mr. Mohajer is a hands-on owner/operator and emphasizes stellar customer relations. I am very proud to have him, Ebrahim and Michael as part of our franchise family.”

We are honoured to have individuals such as Mr. Mohajer, his wife and two sons in our franchise family. As a thank you for all their hard work; we have reduced their franchise royalty fee from 8% to 5% for the year 2011.

Keep the good job up Mohajer Family!

The first manual osteopathy program of National Academy of Osteopathy (NAO) is starting on Monday, February 28, 2011. NAO have already 35 students registered in its FT & PT programs. NAO offers Canada’s only 4 months full time program.

Manual osteopathy is a rewarding health care profession that deals with musculoskeletal and joints conditions such as low back pain. There is zero unemployment in Osteopathy. And the average income for a full time osteopath is $90,000 annually.

There are a few more seats available for ourNAO first class but the application deadline is approaching fast. If you are interested in joining this exciting, emerging and much in demand health care profession; please contact Ms. Peggy Chiang; NAO registrar at info@nationalacademyofosteopathy.com.

You may also download NAO Academic Calendar 2011 at www.nationalacademyofosteopathy.com.

To get an idea what osteopaths do; you may visit the following 4 videos:

Franchise Canada Directory 2011 has just been published by Canadian Franchise Association and Union Ergonomics logo has been published as part of the top 30 franchises operating in Canada, in the inside cover section of the magazine. This magazine is available for purchase at Chapters, Indigo and other stores across Canada.
This is quite an achievement for our young franchise system when it is placed alongside such giant multinational franchises as: McDonald’s, The UPS Store; Swiss Chalet, Harvey’s, Montana’s Cookhouse, Petvalue, Kelsey’s, Country Style and Certigard.

Union Ergonomics has achieved this status by offering an amazing income potential. Even though the majority of its franchisees are operating less than a year; most have already billed (for services & supplies provided to workers and patients on social assistance); more than they paid to purchase their franchise clinics! And they have done so by keeping their clinics open only 12 hours per week!

Some of our franchisees even billed more than their purchase price of $200,000 in less than four months of practice! This is an extraordinary development. Such income potential is unheard of in the Canadian franchise industry.

We congratulate all Union Ergonomics franchisees and their employees as well as all head office employees who together made this possible.

Thank you everyone for making us a success story.

We are very excited to announce Union Ergonomics can now provide certain orthopaedic braces to patients on social assistance and long term disability (LTD). Until now welfare recipients and patients on long term disability were eligible only for orthopaedic shoes and custom made foot orthotics in Union Ergonomics franchise clinics. As a matter of fact Union Ergonomics has become the number one provider of orthopaedic shoes and custom made foot orthotics to welfare recipients in the province of Ontario in 2010. There is currently a three months waiting list for these patients to be seen by our foot specialists.

We want to thank Ministry of Community and Social Services for allowing certain orthopaedic braces to be covered for these patients. These orthopaedic braces would drastically improve quality of life in these patients. They are greatly beneficial in managing certain health conditions by decreasing pain and improving function.

We are planning to make Union Ergonomics and Spinal Traction Clinic the fastest growing new franchises in the world in 2011 so all people everywhere could have access to our unique ergonomic services as well as affordable low back pain relief through decompression therapy.

As such we are looking for qualified area developers to join us by owning and operating a Union Ergonomics – Spinal Traction Clinic combined centre in a new city where we do not have a presence.

The normal purchase price for a combo unit of UE-STC centre is $360,000. We are offering this combo unit at an amazingly low price of $150,000 to only one qualified area developer per city.

There is a saving of $210,000 per combo unit. In turn the area developer helps us expand in that particular city by acting as our agent.

This offer only applies to the first clinic in each town. We believe once we have a clinic in any town we will be able to help many patients in that area and achieve our goal of making our unique ergonomic services available to workers everywhere nationally and internationally.

I would appreciate if you forward this email to all your friends so everyone could know about this amazing business opportunity. Anyone interested should contact our chief marketing officer; Mr. Tito Goswami for more info at cmo@unionergonomics.com or sales@spinaltractionclinic.com .

Today was our last day of work this year. We will open on Tuesday; January 04th, 2011 at 9AM.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

I on behalf of everyone at the Union Ergonomics and Spinal Traction Clinic head office as well as the National Academy of Osteopathy wish you and your family a holiday filled with love, health and happiness.

May your best wishes come true.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Dr. Shahin Pourgol

We are so excite to congratulate Mr. Vaghei and Mrs. Golchobian of Steeles West Union Ergonomics in breaking all previous new patient records of Union Ergonomics franchise clinics.

We are glad to see Union Ergonomics franchise clinics are able to serve more patients. Our main focus is to serve as many patients as possible by helping them work better and stay safer.

Keep the good work up!

Decompression traction therapy is one of the most successful modalities available for low back pain. Most clinics charge $150 to $300 per treatment session. This makes it hard for majority of people to use this machine.

All expenses; such as rent, staff salary, advertising & marketing costs, phone, fax, equipments, supplies, etc. will be paid by Spinal Traction Clinic.

DTA428 Certified Decompression Traction Assistant

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Traction Therapy is a low back rehabilitation program that uses Food & Drug Administration (FDA) cleared medical technology that gently stretches the spine and decompresses the discs. This technique of spinal decompression traction therapy, that is, unloading due to distraction and positioning, has shown the ability to gently separate the vertebrae from each other, creating a vacuum inside the discs. This "vacuum effect" is also known as negative intradiscal pressure.

The negative pressure can induce the retraction of the herniated or bulging disc into the inside of the disc, and off the nerve root, thecal sac, or both. It happens only microscopically each time, but cumulatively, over six to eight weeks, the results are quite dramatic.

The cycles of decompression and partial relaxation over a series of visits, promotes the diffusion of water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids from the outside of the discs to the inside. These nutrients enable the torn and degenerated disc fibres to begin to heal.

Patients are treated fully clothed and are fitted with a pelvic harness that fits around their pelvis as well as a thoracic harness as they lie face down or face up on a computerized controlled table. The Spinal Traction Clinic health practitioner operates the table from a computerized console. Each treatment takes about 15 to 30 minutes. Most patients find the sessions to be comfortable, and relief of pain can sometimes be noticed in the first few sessions. Of course, this varies depending on the individual condition.

Decompression traction therapy is provided by a licensed chiropractor, osteopath or physiotherapist. Certified decompression traction assistants main duty involves setting the patient on the decompression table and programming the computer as ordered by the health practitioners.

Through this program students learn how to operate the decompression traction table, and how to set up the patient on the table as per health practitioner's requirement. Students also learn basic medical terminology, basic anatomy and basic spinal pathology.
