| WHAT
IS OSTEOPATHY?
The science of Osteopathy is a study of
the human body as it functions in health and disease. Osteopathy
uses very precise, gentle manipulative techniques to treat the
restrictions in tissues which prevent the various parts of the
body from fulfilling their natural functions. The objective of
the practice of Osteopathy is to restore mobility to the different
systems of the body (musculo-skeletal, circulatory, digestive,
pulmonary and nervous systems) thus improving the regulation and
interactions of these systems.
Osteopathy was established
in Canada in 1981.
We currently have 1 osteopath at Club Physio
Plus
We also have 2 other therapists
which have completed 2-3 years of the 5 year osteopathy program
