Overview

OSTEOPATHY
Osteopathy was founded in 1874 by medical doctor Andrew Taylor Still in Missouri. The osteopathic profession has evolved into two branches, non-physician manual medicine osteopaths and full scope of medical practice osteopathic physician.
In Canada, we practice as non physician manual medicine osteopaths and are called Osteopathic Manual Practitioner.
Osteopathy is a unique holistic (whole body) approach to health care, that strives to balance all the systems of the body, and provide overall good health and well being in its broadest sense, including mental, emotional, and spiritual health.
Osteopath does not address one organ or structure at the expense of another but considers the person as an integral unit.
Osteopathy involves work on all body structures: the joints, muscles, ligaments, internal organs, skull etc.
It is unique because it focuses on the root cause of pain and dysfunction rather than simply masking the symptoms. The practice also encourages the body to heal itself and rely less on medication. Freedom from restriction allows the body’s own healing mechanisms to bring about deep and lasting healing.
Osteopathy is effective for people of all ages and it is generally applicable to all conditions. It is beneficial to Athletes (professional and amateur), People suffered from wide range of traumas, People with sedentary job and life style.
Osteopaths tailor their approach to each patient’s needs and lifestyle
