"I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. 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"

Steve Jobs

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.

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

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

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!

Purchasing 4 units of Spinal Traction Clinic franchises can help you immigrate to Canada and become a Canadian permanent resident, leading to Canadian citizenship in 3 years following arrival in Canada.

International Spinal Traction Clinic franchisees from Iran, China, Taiwan, and other countries are able to apply under the Business category of Citizenship & Immigration Canada. To start the process these non-Canadian applicants need to purchase a business worth at least $200,000. Each Spinal Traction Clinic franchise is $60,000 so purchasing 4 units would satisfy this requirement.

For international Spinal Traction Clinic franchisees who are interested in immigrating to Canada and owning a business here; we highly recommend 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.

Her immigration consulting services are guaranteed; meaning in the unlikely event she is unable to secure Canadian permanent residence status for any international Spinal Traction Clinic franchisee; her consulting fee is returned to the applicant.

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.

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

We are happy to announce that we just sold one unit of Union Ergonomics and one unit of Spinal Traction Clinic to Ms. Josephine in the United States of America.

Ms. Josephine is a US government employee who enjoys helping people. Due to her love of people; she has decided to invest in a health related business.

We welcome Ms. Josephine to our family and wish her success in her new business.

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.

At National Academy of Osteopathy (NAO) we are working hard to make osteopathy treatments available to patients everywhere. As such NAO has expanded to London (Ontario) and Halifax. NAO now teaches manual osteopathy at 9 Canadian cities including: Vancouver, Ottawa, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Halifax, London 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, London, Halifax, Winnipeg, & Quebec City); NAO now offers manual osteopathy education in 19 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.

I am happy to announce National Academy of Osteopathy; the largest osteopathy college in the world; is in the final stages of setting up the Canadian University of Medical Sciences in the Dominican Republic. This brand new university; scheduled to open September 2012 offers the following programs in English:

I will update you regularly with the progress of this university. You are more than welcome to visit this university at any time. It is the first Canadian university in the Dominican Republic!

I am extremely proud of this university. It is the biggest, most complex business project I have ever partaken in my life. Nonetheless it is the most exciting as well! Nothing replaces the feeling I get when I share knowledge with my students. It is one of the most beautiful feelings ever.

Dr. Shahin Pourgol

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.
Dr. Shahin Pourgol, DC, DMO, CDTT, CCE

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..."

Part time student-class of 2011

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 members of IOA may practice manual osteopathy in Canada, Iran, China, Brazil, Venezuela, India, England, USA, Australia and most other countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and the Latin America. 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, DMO, 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.

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.

We are very happy to announce; Mr. Vasco is owner of Spinal Traction Clinic # 17. He is also the owner of the second Union Ergonomics / Spinal Traction Clinic combo unit in Brampton. Mr. Vasco will have five decompression traction rooms set up in his clinic. He is an extremely successful Portuguese businessman and we are very happy to have him join our operational franchisees.His new clinic will be operational on April 01st, 2011.

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.

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.

These scholarships were established by Dr. Shahin Pourgol; DC, DMO, CDTT, CCE (chiropractor, osteopath & ergonomist) to reward doctors of chiropractic who pursue manual osteopathy education at National Academy of Osteopathy. They are granted to all chiropractors accepted to NAO. They will be in the form of 50% tuition credit.

To receive a scholarship application please contact National Academy of Osteopathy registrar at: admissions@nationalacademyofosteopathy.com..

In a special event today; National Academy of Osteopathy announced formation of 29 awards and scholarships; available to NAO students who enrol in the Manual Osteopathy diploma program. To receive the awards and scholarship list please contact NAO registrar at admissions@nationalacademyofosteopathy.com.

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.

We are very happy to announce Spinal Traction Clinic #16 was just sold to Mr. Mohajer. Mr. Mohajer is also the owner of Brampton Union Ergonomics Clinic. Spinal Traction Clinic #16 will be set up inside his Union Ergonomics franchise clinic. This makes 56 the number of franchises sold in our two franchise systems (Union Ergonomics and Spinal Traction Clinic).

The fact that one of our current franchisees has purchased a second franchise indicates his outmost trust in us as well as his happiness with our franchise system.

We congratulate Mr. Mohajer on this wise decision and wish him continued success in his business.

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

Ms. Peggy Chiang; marketing and advertising coordinator of Union Ergonomics franchise head office had been invited by WOW TV; the biggest Chinese TV station in Canada for a 10 minute live interview to discuss Union Ergonomics services.

The interview has been posted on YouTube by WOW TV. Here is the link:

The interview is in Mandarin language.

National Academy of Osteopathy, Spinal Traction Clinic and Union Ergonomics head office will be closed for holidays from December 21, 2010 to January 03rd, 2010. We will resume work on Tuesday; January 04th, 2011.

Dr. Shahin Pourgol will use these off times to visit Costa Rica and continue on his work towards setting up the orthopaedic shoes manufacturing company in San Jose.

Spinal Traction Clinic franchise head office has been approached by representative of Jobst Canada to jointly set up booths inside major airports; as a way to introduce millions of travellers to decompression traction therapy and Jobst compression socks.

Jobst is the number one provider of compression socks (support hose) in the World. While initially support hose was used by people with varicose veins; these days majority of Compression socks are used for comfort; mostly to help people walk and stand for prolonged periods without pain and fatigue. They are fantastic for travellers as well as people who stand for long periods. They are the most popular items used by patients at Union Ergonomics franchise clinics.

Spinal Traction Clinic franchise is destined soon to be the World leader in providing affordable low back pain relief through decompression traction therapy. While decompression traction therapy is mainly used for back pain; it may also be used to stretch the spine and as a result offer back relaxation. That experience is what we will market mostly in the airports.

This partnership will be beneficial to all travellers while establishing Spinal Traction Clinic brand name.

We are very excited about this joint venture. It will do wonders for Spinal Traction Clinic franchise brand name recognition while helping travellers relax their back. A win-win combination for everyone.

Union Ergonomics franchise clinics; for a limited time are offering free TOG computerized gait scan analysis for all patients.

TOG GaitScan™ System is a revolutionary diagnostic tool for assessing our patient's biomechanics. GaitScan™ has an industry high 4096 sensors and scans at an industry high 300Hz (scans per second). These measurements provide Union Ergonomics Healthcare Professionals with a sophisticated explanation of foot mechanics and assists them with orthotic and/or shoe solutions.

TOG GaitScan™ is the most technologically advanced gait analysis system available and it has been designed to move Union Ergonomics franchise clinics to the forefront of orthotic therapy and patient education.

To book an appointment for your complementary gait scan please contact the nearest Union Ergonomics clinic. The list and phone number can be found at: www.unionergonomics.com.

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. They had more than 200 new patients last month! The highest record was set previously at 120 new patients in September 2010 by Ms. Zamani of Victoria Park Union Ergonomics.

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!

The Orthotic Group has been chosen as the exclusive provider of custom made foot orthotics to Union Ergonomics clinics. In turn they are giving a gait scan computer worth $8000 to each UE clinic for free as well as free access to their seminars! This is the power of being in a franchise! Volume discount and purchase power.

Spinal Traction Clinic and Union Ergonomics attended the franchise show in the CNE (Exhibition Place) on October 02nd and 03rd, 2010. The show was a great success. Jenna Repath, chief operating officer and Tito Goswami, chief marketing officer represented Union Ergonomics and Atee Gholami, chief operating officer represented Spinal Traction Clinic.

Union Ergonomics head office is in negotiation with Premier Fitness club for mutual business relationship and cooperation.

Premier Fitness with 60 locations across Ontario has been leading the fitness industry in program design and personalized exercise prescription for over 20 years. It is recognized as being the best in the industry and as one of the top 50 best managed private companies in Canada.

They are heavily involved in corporate health, safety and wellness programs, offering exercise programs to many private and public sector corporations. Premier Fitness is simply the best fitness club in Ontario. They offer a first class wellness experience with friendly service, expert professional resources, outstanding state of the art facilities and unparalleled programs and services.

Through their cooperation and business relationship with Union Ergonomics they will offer a new, world class concept in fitness, recreation and health that will excite every individual in pursuit of improved health and wellness.

We are considering opening Union Ergonomics and Spinal Traction Clinics in selected locations of Premier Fitness such as Ottawa and Kingston.

Union Ergonomics has hired a brokerage firm to decide feasibility of taking Union Ergonomics public.

Taking Union Ergonomics franchise public and becoming a member of Toronto Stock Exchange (TSE) is the quickest and surest way to raise money and to fuel growth. New companies on the Toronto Stock Exchange can raise up to $20 millions. Established companies can raise a lot more. Public Companies are also typically valued more than private companies. A public company provides liquidity for management, shareholders, and investors and it also has more prestige and visibility with customers, suppliers, as well as the financial community.

We are glad to announce Spinal Traction Clinic is officially a member of Canadian Franchise Association now.

Decompression Traction Therapist program is offered by National Academy of Osteopathy(NAO) only to Spinal Traction Clinic (STC) health practioners such as chiropractors, osteopaths, physiotehrapists and registered massage therapists. This program is not open to the general public.

Spinal Traction Clinic health practitioners who undergo this training program will receive the right to designate themselves Certified Decompression Traction Therapist (CDTT).

Decompression Traction Therapist program tuition is paid by Spinal Traction Clinic franchise head office.

Spinal Traction Clinic franchise # 6 in North York was sold today to Ms. Wang. We welcome Ms. Wang to our family and wish her great success in her new business.

Spinal Traction Clinic is growing exponentially! No franchise in history has ever sold so many in less than 2 months of inception. We are very positive that this franchise soon becomes the fastest growing new franchise in the World.

Due to its success the price is increasing to $60,000 effective November 01, 2010.

Dr. Shawn Pourgol will be in San Jose, Costa Rica from December 21, 2010 to January 04, 2011 to continue his work toward setting up the orthopaedic shoes manufacturing company there.

We are happy to inform you Ms. Golnar Zamani the owner/operator of Victoria Park Union Ergonomics Clinic has surprised us in a very nice way. In less than a month that this clinic is open; she had 120 new patients! This is amazing! Even Dr Pourgol did not have so many patients in his first month of work!

Every month our franchisees surprise us more and more. Brampton had 70 new patients in two weeks! We believe with time franchisees improve by learning from successful previous experience.

We congratulate Ms. Zamani and her husband Matt. They are a hard working couple and made us so proud today. Moment like this makes all the hard work we put for this franchise worth it.

Thank you to all our franchisees.

We are excited to inform you we sold two units of Spinal Traction clinic.

Mr. Nooraei is our Spinal Traction Clinic franchise #4 at North York Spinal Traction Clinic.

We welcome Mr. Nooraei to our family and wish them both success in their new business.

We are super excited to inform you two investors are buying the exclusive rights of Union Ergonomics franchise sales in Quebec, Canada.

This is a great investment decision on their behalf and it is also a great deal for Union Ergonomics as well; since these investors have extensive network connections in Quebec and as such are better able to penetrate the Quebec market. We can easily see them selling at least 5 Union Ergonomics franchise per year.

Effective; Monday, September 06th, 2010, all franchises sold anywhere in the province of Quebec; including the French part of Ottawa must be done through these this investing company. Please visit Union Ergonomics website in a week for their contact information if interested in purchasing a franchise in Quebec. The price and terms of franchise agreement will be the same as other provinces.

This is great for Union Ergonomics head office as having franchises in Quebec; will open the European market in France and Switzerland for us.

Dr. Pourgol is going back to Costa Rica in a month or so to continue his negotiation with the Costa Rican government in regards to being the exclusive provider of safety shoes to Costa Rican government employees.

On another note: Mr. Nezhadi of Kipling Union Ergonomics Clinic has indicated his interest in owning one Spinal Traction Clinic franchise inside his Union Ergonomics clinic. This makes it three Union Ergonomics franchisees (Mr. Farsijani of Toronto West Union Ergonomics Clinic, Mr. Sabouri of Eglinton Union Ergonomics Clinic and Mr. Nezhadi of Kipling Union Ergonomics Clinic) who are interested in buying Spinal Traction Clinic; our new franchise that is a revolutionary franchise as it has no monthly expense.

Effective, September 2010 Spinal Traction Clinic is a proud member of International Franchise Association. International Franchise Association (IFA), Based in Washington, USA is the largest franchise association in the World since 1960.

All approved franchisors must adhere to the Code of Ethics prescribed by IFA. The IFA Code of Ethics is intended to establish a framework for the implementation of best practices in the franchise relationships of IFA members.

The Code represents the ideals to which all IFA members agree to subscribe in their franchise relationships. The Code is one component of the IFA’s self-regulation program, which also includes the IFA Ombudsman and revisions to the IFA bylaws that will streamline the enforcement mechanism for the Code.

IFA’s members are committed to showing respect and consideration for each other and to those with whom they do business. IFA members believe that franchisors and franchisees share the responsibility for improving their franchise system in a manner that rewards both franchisors and franchisees.

IFA’s members enthusiastically support full compliance with, and vigorous enforcement of, all applicable federal and state franchise regulations. This commitment is fundamental to enhancing and safeguarding the business environment for franchising.

The costa Rica trip was a success. Union Ergonomics is in the process of setting up an orthopaedic shoes manufacturing company near San Jose, Costa Rica. We are negotiating with the Costa Rican government in regards to obtaining a free trade zone for the factory site.

Meanwhile we are also requesting to be the sole exclusive provider of safety boots and shoes as well as metatarsal boots to the public service workers of the Costa Rican government. We are optimistic to receive this as Costa Rica has no safety shoes manufacturer and by using Union Ergonomics factory they would create jobs for Costa Ricans; or Ticos as like to be called.

Once this happens Union Ergonomics would enter into a new growth phase. We are quite excited about this development.

Union Ergonomics' established marketing methods.

Union Ergonomics head office was so busy this month. Nine new Union Ergonomics franchise clinics opened this month in the following locations:
Etobicoke, Scarborough (#3), Downtown, Toronto West, Steeles West, Toronto Midtown, North York (#3), London, and Richmond Hill (for clinic address please visit: www.unionergonomics.com).
Union Ergonomics franchisees are doing so well! Victoria Park Union Ergonomics; owned by Ms. Zamani had 13 new patients yesterday! This is amazing results and we congratulate her on this amazing success. Some of these clinics are fully booked for August! We thank them for following Union Ergonomics' established marketing methods.

Mr. Tito Goswami; owner/operator of Newmarket Union Ergonomics Clinic; and the 2009 Union Ergonomics franchisee of the year is mentioned in Franchise Canada magazine; the official publication of Canadian Franchise Association and the largest franchise media in Canada.

Congratulations Mr. Goswami. Best wishes for more success.

I am glad to inform you Spinal Traction Clinic has opened second location in Hamilton, Canada. This franchise seems to be growing fast! We have already many applicants, and are glad to inform you Mr. A. Farsijani, owner/operator of Toronto West Union Ergonomics Clinic is also interested in investing in this new franchise. We are always honoured when one of our franchisees invests further with us. It shows the utmost trust and happiness they have with us.
The Spinal Traction Clinic (STC) franchise price is $50,000 (increasing soon). The franchise royalty: 10%. There is zero monthly expense. All rent, advertising, marketing, staff salary, office supplies, etc is paid by us. Franchisees train at National Academy of Osteopathy for two weeks and become Certified Decompression Traction assistants (CDTA). The potential income for this franchise depends on how many patients attend STC. If 100% of the decompression table time is booked; the maximum annual gross income is $166,400 (net: $149,760), and if only 25% is booked; the gross income is $41,600 (net: $37,440).

Even though the income level is nothing like Union ergonomics; it is still a great franchise because the initial investment is so low ($15,000), and it has no other expenses. After the final payment of $50,000 STC franchisees pay for nothing else. No rent, no salary, no supplies. That is the revolutionary aspect of this franchise.

These are exciting times! We are taking over Canada!

National Academy of Osteopathy (NAO) has been chosen by Spinal Traction Clinic to provide the Decompression Traction Assistant Program to Spinal Traction Clinic franchisees. The franchisee; upon completion of the two weeks program are entitled to use the title: Certified Decompression Traction Assistant (CDTA) and may assist STC health practitioners (manual osteopath, chiropractor or physiotherapist) in traction therapy.

National Academy of Osteopathy (www.nationalacademyofosteopathy.com) graduates may also find employment as manual osteopaths in Spinal Traction Clinics.

Spinal Traction Clinic (STC) is now the proud corporate sponsor of Mr. Koroush Ahani.

Since 2009; Union Ergonomics (www.unionergonomics.com) has been a corporate sponsor of this 17 years old member of the senior national swimming team of Canada.
Koroush joined this team, at 16, being the youngest ever member. He is also the first ever Iranian born athlete joining the national team.

During his interview with ICT TV in 2009; he mentioned that Canadian Federal Government spends $60,000 on average on each inmate in the federal prisons. While it spends almost nothing on the young Canadian athletes. He concluded in his interview that if the Canadian government spends a bit more money on young athletes maybe there will not be so many of them ending up in prison.

This was such a powerful interview that made Dr. Pourgol; Union ergonomics founder and CEO become a corporate sponsor of this young Olympic athlete in 2009. Spinal Traction Clinic has now also decided to join Union Ergonomics as a corporate sponsor of Mr. Koroush Ahani.
If anyone wishes to sponsor this young, smart national team member please contact his father, Mr. Hamed Ahani at: (416) 356-5476.
