It is commonly used for conditions such as back and neck pain, headaches, sports injuries, post-concussion symptoms, and chronic pain patterns. Treatment can also support mobility, recovery, and nervous system regulation.

Your initial visit includes a detailed health history, movement-based assessment, and hands-on treatment. Care is tailored to your presentation, with a focus on identifying underlying contributors to your symptoms.

Techniques are typically gentle, precise, and adapted to your comfort level. Treatment may include soft tissue work, joint mobilization, cranial techniques, and visceral approaches depending on your needs.

Manual osteopathy takes a whole-body approach, focusing on how different systems of the body interact rather than treating isolated areas. The goal is to address root causes of dysfunction rather than only symptom relief.

Coverage depends on your individual insurance provider and plan. It’s recommended to check with your provider to confirm whether manual osteopathy is included.

A quick note: Canada Life is unlikely to approve your claim. This is one insurance company we know will not cover your osteopathic treatment. 

Direct billing is currently available for some insurance companies. Receipts are provided after each session if we cannot direct bill and can be submitted to your extended health benefits for reimbursement, depending on your individual coverage.

Comfortable clothing that allows for movement and access to the area being treated is recommended. You may be asked to change positions during assessment and treatment.
