Diagnose, treat and prevent health problems as well as eliminate pain by moving, stretching and massaging the body.
What is Manual Osteopathy?
The Manual Osteopathic College of Canada describes it as: the use of hands-on skills for investigation and treatment of body dysfunctions. The whole body is examined and mechanical disruptions are treated whether symptoms exist or not. Simply put, let’s say you have right shoulder pain – expect the Manual Osteopathic Therapist to examine the joint and soft tissue around the shoulder and also:
Imbalances found are gently treated with techniques that engage the dysfunctional tissue until function is normalized. Joints are mobilized by muscle-resisted techniques, soft-tissue is restored to healthier states. Fluids are released from congested areas and gently flushed in the direction of drainage. Changes are often felt immediately or shortly after the treatment.
Manual Osteopathic Therapy is a gentle therapy that’s appropriate and safe for all ages. The practitioner uses different techniques to work with the body to connect to it’s innate ability to return to balance and alignment.
Some common conditions that Manual Osteopathic Therapy can be beneficial for are:
- Spine and postural issues

The best massage I've ever had! I have had three from Danielle, prenatal, postnatal, and relaxation. I keep coming back because she is so intuned with my body and always has the perfect amount of pressure. I leave feeling amazing each time.

"I got a gift certificate for my birthday from my husband for this spa. I ended up getting a facial and a pedicure today from Tran. She was amazing!!! She was polite, personable and most of all she's so good at what she does! My face feels amazing and my feet are pretty again! Highly recommend! I'll be back soon that's for sure."

"Only place so far that I've found that has proper prenatal massage tables, not just the pillows (which they have as well). Owner Anne Marie was great. Felt safe and calm there. Highly recommend."
