**PLEASE NOTE ** If you have insurance benefits with Canada Life, RWAM, Great West or Industrial Alliance PLEASE only book with Ulkar or Sophie. For all other insurance companies you can book with any of our three therapists. Osteopathy uses various assessments and manual techniques to identify areas of interest, restriction, constriction and pain; in order to reduce swelling; improve tissue mobility and promote proper function and healing in people of all ages. Osteopaths work to maintain, improve and restore the normal physiological function of interrelated body structures and systems, enhancing the body’s natural ability to heal itself. If you have had pain, discomfort in your joints, and strain in your muscles, or experienced headaches, digestive issues such as bloating, constipation or acid reflux, menstrual pain/irregularities/difficulty getting pregnant, come visit Sophie for an incredible treatment that can help resolve your issues.

The philosophy of Osteopathy is based on four basic principles:

Each structure in the body supports the body’s functions.
The natural flow of the body’s fluids – lymphatic, vascular and neurological – must be preserved and maintained.
The human body is the sum of its parts. Its physical, emotional, social, spiritual, and cognitive systems don’t work independently - they work in harmony.
When the body has no restrictions, it has the inherent ability to heal itself.
