What is osteopathy?

Osteopathy is a hands-on, holistic approach to healthcare that focuses on assessing and treating the body’s structure—joints, muscles, fascia, and nervous system—to support natural healing and improve function.

Does insurance cover osteopathy?

Yes, many extended health insurance plans in Canada cover osteopathic treatment provided by a recognized Osteopathic Manual Practitioner. Be sure to check with your provider for specific coverage details.

Who should see a manual osteopath?

Anyone experiencing musculoskeletal pain, postural issues, tension, sports injuries, or even stress-related symptoms can benefit from seeing an osteopathic manual practitioner. It’s also helpful for those recovering from surgery or managing chronic conditions.

What should I expect during my treatment?

Your practitioner will begin with an assessment of your posture, movement, and health history. Treatment may include gentle joint mobilization, soft tissue techniques, and stretching—all designed to reduce pain, improve function, and support your body’s natural healing.

What should I wear/bring to my appointment?

Wear comfortable, stretchy clothing like athletic wear, and bring any relevant medical reports or imaging if available. You may also be asked to move or lie down during treatment, so comfort and mobility are key.
