Vancouver & Squamish Osteopathy

Osteopathy is a holistic form of manual therapy and medicine that came from the USA at the turn of the previous century from Dr Andrew Taylor Still. Based on the idea that the body is a unit, osteopathic practitioners provide hands on treatment to help you with pain, anxiety, depression and other ailments.

If you are suffering from chronic or acute issues that won’t resolve, chances are that blockages or patterns are preventing your body from self healing. Osteopathic practitioners investigate the root cause of an issue with you to find the best solutions. This involves learning about your body’s coping methods, and inner dialogue, understanding your triggers and finding new patterns that fit your unique situation.

Anxiety and depression often stem from patterns set by the autonomic nervous system (ANS) reactions to traumatic early life experiences. These patterns persist and are  embodied, causing physical ailments. Osteopathy is an effective tool to complement talk therapy to help you with anxiety, depression, and trauma. Learn how to recognize the triggers and patterns of your nervous system with the help of an osteopathic intervention.

Together, we can find ways for you to free yourself of coping patterns in your body and teach you how to self regulate and soothe your ANS. Reduce chronic pain, acute injuries or discomfort and restore your body to optimal health and performance with Osteopathic Care – a holistic, harmonious approach to full mind / body health.
