What is manual osteopathy?

In Canada, osteopathy isn't as well known as massage therapy or acupuncture. I use a gentle and effective method of unlocking tissue. It's similar to physio therapy where the treatment is done in looser/sport clothing. You can expect:

• A full assessment of your muscles and joints
• Hands-on therapy with interactive movement and stretching
• Lasting results

Manual Osteopaths realign tissue in a gentle, noninvasive way in order to rid the body of the stresses which are the original cause of pain.  

A treatment usually involves active movement from the client, with gentle stretching and positioning from the therapist. Treatments are pain free and never jarring.
Throughout the treatment, I will constantly assess and then reassess to ensure the treatment is effective because the goal is to provide clinical and long-lasting results.

What separates a Manual Osteopath from similar professions is that we look at the body as a whole unit, a complete structure, rather than isolating the problem to one joint or muscle.

I am excited to offer free 15-minute Manual Osteopathy treatments to my massage clients—you can book on our booking website.

I am studying with the National Manual Osteopathic College and I require clinical hours to complete the program, so this practical experience is a huge benefit to me and I’m hoping it will be of benefit to you as well!
