What is Osteopathy?

os·te·op·a·thy, by definition, is a branch of medical practice that emphasizes the treatment of physical disorders and ailments  through the manipulation and massage of the bones, joints, and muscles. The profession was established in 1874, founded by physician/surgeon Dr. Andrew Taylor Still with a principle philosophy that the body has the ability to heal itself.

How does Osteopathy work?

The Osteopathic Manual Practitioner has a deep understanding of how the body’s systems are interrelated, and how to detect dysfunction.  By using hands-on, non-intrusive techniques, Osteopathy focuses on restoring those natural functions to support mobility and health.

What does Osteopathy treat?

Osteopathy can be used as preventative or corrective medicine. It maintains quality function of all systems and supports the body’s natural relationships.  It can effectively treat health issues such as: Chronic pain, sports injury, arthritis, asthma, sciatica, headache, carpal tunnel, postural problems, digestive issues, sleep issues, and aggravated psychosomatic illnesses. 

Whom does Osteopathy benefit?

Manual Osteopathic Practitioners regularly see patients that have been injured from work, home, or as a result of sports.

Your Visit

Muskoka Osteopathy practices out of Alternis, a wellness hub located in the Huntridge building at the corner of Howland Drive and Centre Street North.  Upon arrival, we ask our patients to please be comfortable in our waiting area and we will greet you as soon as possible.  All initial and subsequent visits begin with an intake interview, where we discuss your health history, current issues, and wellness objectives.  Our goal is to work with our patients on their journey to better health.

​Please dress comfortably for maneuverability.
"As a physically active and generally exhausted professional living in Muskoka, I have had years of chiropractic care and massage therapy.  I was recently introduced to Osteopathy for support with some chronic pain and asthma. The experience was incredible.  My practitioner took the time to really understand my lifestyle and dug deep into my health history.  Since treatment, the inflammation and the tension in my neck/shoulder have subsided,  helping me feel much more balanced, rested and, vital."
