Meet Caitlin

Manual Osteopathic Practitioner

My name is Caitlin, I'm a Manual Osteopathic Therapist. I am a graduate from the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy and a member of OSTCAN.

The CAO and OSTCAN adhere to the highest international standards in education and professionalism with members completing 4200 hours of education, and a minimum of 1000 hours of supervised clinical practice.

Osteopathy is a practical implementation of the principles of Osteopathy, founded by A.T. Still. The 3 tenets that guide the practice are:
1. the body is a dynamic unit of function
2. the body is self-healing and self-regulating
3. structure and function are interrelated

The practitioner searches for health in the body, and removes restrictions. Treatment will include joint mobilization and soft tissue treatment to remove any obstacles that interfere with the proper nutrition and drainage of your body's tissues.

I look forward to help patients improve their mobility so they can continue to do what they love, regardless of their age!
Osteopathy is a form of Manual Therapy that emphasizes the relationship between the structure and function of the human body. Allowing the body's ability to self heal and self regulate.

It focuses on facilitating the health of joints and muscles through non-invasive Manual therapy. This aides in strengthening the framework of the body and can act as a complementary therapy alongside other conventional medicine.
​If the body is misaligned, it will disrupt the function of healing. The body has an extensive network of nerves, blood vessels, veins and lymphatics. If there is an obstruction within the anatomy, it affects the bodies ability to function at its full capacity. Anatomy can be altered due to trauma, repetitive motions, injury or habits.
​Osteopathic Manual Practitioners consider themselves facilitators of health, using a principles based approach to assessment and treatment to realign the anatomy and remove obstructions throughout the various layers of the body; skin, fascia muscles, ligaments, bones and viscera. This allows the nerves, veins, arteries and lymphatics to flow freely in order to self heal and self regulate
