What is Osteopathic Manual Therapy?
Unlike American-trained Osteopaths (who attend medical school), Canadian Osteopathic Manual Practitioners focus solely on manual techniques. This approach is similar to chiropractic care, but broader — treating all tissues and structures in the body, not just the spine.
Treatments do not include high velocity, low amplitude (HVLA) thrust adjustments. Instead, we use gentle manipulative techniques to release restrictions, restore balance, and enhance the body’s natural ability to heal.
Osteopathic Manual Practitioners work one-on-one with you to address not just the tissue causing your symptoms, but the underlying structures that may be maintaining the dysfunction. This holistic approach often helps when other treatments haven’t resolved the issue.
