Learn all about our newest RMT, Oriana, to our 361 family!
It’s time to learn about our other RMT, Oriana Chacon Galue, and what she’s all about! She brings in various experiences, including her Venezuelan “flavour” to the 361 team!
👋 She graduated from CCMH (Canadian College of Massage and Hydrotherapy) in 2017.
👋 Oriana believes the body can heal itself when small adjustments are made, and she is happy to assist you in the process with remedial exercises and homecare.
👋 She combines Swedish massage with myofascial release techniques, trigger point therapy, as well as active/passive stretching and cupping in her treatments. Mindful breathing is an important component in her treatments, so she will guide you through it on each appointment.
👋 She has a general background in health and wellness, as she previously attended Dentistry school in her home country of Venezuela.
👋 She is both fluent in Spanish & English.
👋 Her interest in human bodily functions and movement has made her choose this career which she is very passionate about.
👋 She has also been into yoga and dance for the past 15 years. [PS Did you know that’s how @drmelanielopes got to know about Oriana, through the Toronto salsa dance scene????]
👋 She is a Yoga Instructor and she currently teaches Latin dance as well.
👋 Oriana loves hiking and being in contact with nature and music.
👋 She is currently learning how to play drums and singing just for fun!
👋 She will create customized treatment plans in order to work her best to accomplish your goals, such as reducing pain, improving postural imbalances, increasing range of motion, releasing musculoskeletal restrictions, conditioning pre/post event sport massages, as well as increasing relaxation.
👋 Her goal is to help you improve your quality of life and increase your mind/body awareness.
👉She’ll be starting at @361clinic on Mon. Sept 14th, and every Monday from 9am-2pm going forward.
👉 Msg drlopes@36clinic.com to book your spot with Oriana! She is offering 30, 45, 60, 75 and 90 min treatment options.

Update on re-opening status for @361clinic during this pandemic
We have been receiving many messages lately asking if we @361clinic are open yet. We appreciate that you are all eager to get some hands-on care, as much as we are waiting to provide it! We can’t wait to reunite with everyone and play catch-up from the last 2 months!
💥 As of today we are closed, but only open to treat urgent cases with chiropractic care.
💥 Our chiropractic & massage Colleges have not yet published a return to work directive yet. But we anticipate good news soon after the long weekend (hopefully).
💥4 other provinces, Saskatchewan, Alberta, PEI & Manitoba have been given return to work directives & requirements effective May 4, 2020. So fingers crossed that Ontario’s announcement will be coming soon!
💥 We are also awaiting a required list of PPE (personal protective equipment) to ensure we provide the safest environment for everyone we come in contact with.
💥 Just like everywhere else, when we do re-open we will most likely have measures that limit the amount of patients that can enter at any given time, and to allow for enough time to sanitize the treating and common areas in between patients.
💥 We are currently not booking any patients in advance, but we will make sure that you all get in for chiropractic, massage therapy and/or acupuncture as soon as it is possible.
➡️ Stay tuned to our website [www.361clinic.com], and our @361clinic Facebook, Instagram and Twitter feeds for more updates.
What are you looking forward to receiving the most @361clinic
right about now?
