Osteopathy is a form of manual therapy that started in 1874 with a formal school starting in 1891 as a form of complete health care, similar to chiropractic that came out at roughly the same time. The goal of osteopathy was to improve health by ensuring optimum function and alignment of the joints in the body, and ensuring that the artery, vein and lymphatic systems were free.
Nowadays, it has 2 major schools of thought – the American D.O.s, which are Osteopathic Physicians, are almost identical to M.D.s and take the same time and amount of education and have the same rights. European D.O.s are dedicated manual therapists that function more closely to a chiro or physiotherapist.
Those without the American D.O. designation are not physicians and in Canada are referred to as Osteopathic Manual Therapists to help delineate between the two.
An Osteopathic Manual Therapist helps deal with musculoskeletal issues and movement dysfunction, helping reduce pain through gentle movement techniques combined with gentle resistance provided by the patient.

In addition to this, I use visceral manipulation (abdominal content manipulation), corrective exercise, along with education in pain science to help patients understand their chronic pain, manage their pain, and to create strategies to help deal with that pain.

I also use a light touch therapy called Cranial/Sacral Therapy, this helps to increase communication between the brain and body. Which in turn helps to stimulate the self healing mechanisms of the body, thus allowing injuries to heal faster.

Massage therapy focuses on increasing blood and lymphatic circulation, and on the relaxation of soft tissues (muscles, tendons, connective tissue, ligaments) in the body.
Our massage therapists help calm down the nervous system by enhancing total relaxation, relieve pain in the body, and restore balance in a body that has been abused, overworked and neglected. Their treatment techniques include Deep tissue, injury recovery, pre/post natal massage, Hot Stone massage, Trigger point Therapy, Swedish Relaxation and Cupping Therapy.
