Resources & FAQs
This spring has changed our lives and lifestyles around the COVID-19 Pandemic. Here is a summary of the updates the past year for Dr. Coffman.
In May of 2019 Hands On Health moved from its Columbia Location to a home office for Dr. Coffman to focus on teaching and writing. I have been working on a book to benefit my patients and the public. By October 2019 the outline was formed. In February of this year, after a decision to not schedule appointments for the coming year, I drafted the beginnings of the book!
On April 1, 2020 I recorded an interview show, “Electrical You” hosted by Dr. Arlene Dijamco. You can watch it here https://youtu.be/ImQ9IwPOwiI. It contains an essential exercise for daily health. Many of you will recognize it from the office!
My presentation for the “Cours Dentaire”, an osteopathic dental course, with my European colleagues in France will be postponed from June to a later date.
Writing will be my primary focus this year along with online teaching for both osteopathic professionals and for the public. I am happy to be supporting osteopathic specialists and to give people tools for health at home!
Be well,
Dr. Coffman

Welcome to Dr. David Spencer (Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine Specialist), LaCoiya (Support Staff) and our Pre-Med shadows, Olivia and Badr!
Thank you to the Greater Columbia Area Dental Hygiene Association for the opportunity to present cranial osteopathy and orthodontics!
I am amazed at how my abdominal surgical scar over the weeks has melted away. I’ve come to believe that changes inside are occurring as well with evidence of visible changes of the scar. My mental health has also improved. I have a much more positive outlook on my health and I am more positive about my body’s ability to heal itself. I am going to continue with Dr. Coffman, the exercises she gives me, and learning about how to continue improving my mental and physical health. -J.F.
