General Information About Treatment:

Osteopathy is a form of manual therapy that treats pain, injury, and dysfunction, and is an effective resource for maintaining and optimizing overall health and physical function.

Since the body operates as an integrated system, skeletal misalignment or restricted motion of bones and joints in one area can create compensatory patterns throughout the body, leading to muscle tension, joint compression, restricted mobility, and impingements that may impact key bodily functions such as circulation, nerve signalling, organ function, fluid fluctuation, digestion, breathing mechanics, lymphatic flow, hormonal regulation, emotional well-being, mental clarity and more.

Through an understanding of how structure affects function, I assess these relationships using my sense of touch to trace underlying mechanical root causes, then utilize precise, gentle hands-on techniques that synchronize with your body’s natural breath and innate motions to release muscle and fascial tension, improve alignment, and increase joint mobility, with the goal of relieving pain and restoring or enhancing healthy function throughout the body from head to toe.

Positive effects of treatment may include relief from pain and tension, improved mobility and breathing mechanics, better posture, more efficient circulation and fluid dynamics, improved support for healthy organ function, and more.

  • Our sessions are usually 60+ minutes, depending on how your body responds. I like to focus on what can be achieved in each session rather than adhering to set amounts of time. Some treatments take longer to address deeper issues, while others are more straightforward.

  • Spacing of our sessions is based on progress and regression. At the start, especially with complex cases, I like to keep sessions closer together. This minimizes the window of regression, allowing us to make continuous progress without having to redo work done in previous sessions.

    As your body responds and primary adjustments are achieved, treatment frequency gradually tapers: weekly sessions become biweekly → monthly → 2–3 months → 3–6 months → yearly, or until optimal recovery is reached.

  • Easy cases: 1 - 8 sessions

    Moderate: 8 - 12 sessions

    Complex: 12 - 20+ sessions

  • Condensed treatment plans are utilized for international cases and those travelling from long distances. 3 to 6 weeks is the general timeframe for condensed treatment plans.

  • Perceived Percentage of Recovery (PPR): Is a simple metric used for gauging overall recovery progress. (0%) being in the worst state imaginable and (100%) being back to full function with no sign of symptoms. We use this metric as a communication tool for quick assessment and feedback.

    Symptom Tracking Journal: Is an in-depth tracking system used for gauging individual symptom progress. We are continuously adapting to our new normal thus it’s hard to remember how we felt last week, last month or even yesterday. This tracking system helps us become aware of individual symptom changes as they occur.

    My rates reflect the level of skill, precision, and individualized focus each patient receives.

  • Acupuncture, cupping, and massage therapy pair beautifully with osteopathic care. See the Health Resources page for trusted referrals.

  • Osteopathic treatment is covered through most private insurance and group benefit plans. For those who have coverage, a portion of your treatment expenses should be reimbursed upon submitting your receipts.

    ICBC claims seem to be approved for osteopathic treatment on a case by case basis. If you are requesting coverage through ICBC, I can assist by providing a letter to explain why your recovery will be greatly benefited by our treatments.

  • I sterilize all equipment with alcohol before and after each use. Breathing freely and fully is a vital aspect of treatment, therefore, masks are not allowed. In order to ensure optimal results from treatment, there are several protocols that I ask each patient to adopt. These protocols are listed through the patient portal which you will have access to upon acceptance of your case.
