What Makes Osteopathy So Effective?
We listen
We aim to fully understand you and your challenges.
We assess
We consider your entire body to determine the root cause of your concerns.
We look
We view your body with a wholistic approach; everything is connected.
We inquire
We ask the question “What’s preventing your body from functioning optimally?”
We treat
We use a variety of hands on techniques to release stress and strain in your body, using a very developed sense of palpation to discern the tensions and areas in need.
We integrate
We value the inter-relationships between all the systems of the body, and aim to restore balance within and between the muscles, joints, bones, nerves, vessels, connective tissues and internal organs.
We value you
Our relationship with you is important, and together we formulate a treatment plan to assist in achieving your health goals.
National Standard of Canada for Osteopathic Healthcare
The National Standard of Canada, CSA Z16686:20, Osteopathic healthcare provision, helps standardize the core competencies, educational requirements, and the ethical framework for manual osteopathic care across the country. CSA Z16686:20 also helps safeguard patients and provides assertion of the quality of care they could receive via manual osteopathic treatment. Based on the 2015 European Standard EN 16686 of the same name and the World Health Organization (WHO) 2010 ‘Benchmarks for Training in Osteopathy’, it brings Canada in line with the best and most widely accepted standards in this field.
CSA Z16686:20 was developed by CSA Group in accordance with internationally recognized protocols. It is available for purchase on the CSA Store.
