Manual Osteopathy
What is manual osteopathy?
Manual osteopathy is a unique specialty in Prince George and is widely recognized as one of the safest drug-free, non-invasive therapies for the treatment of neuromusculoskeletal and joint complaints. Manual osteopathy is a field of study and practice that assesses the body as a whole and treats the body in a caring, gentle, hands-on, and attentive way. There are many stubborn chronic conditions that can be treated quite effectively using manual osteopathy.

What I am unsure if osteopathy will be the right therapeutic approach for me?
If osteopathy is new to you and you are unsure whether it will be the right fit for your symptoms or condition, we encourage you to book a free, 30-minute consult. During this session you will be able to explore the therapy type and how it might be applied to your situation directly. You can then take the time to decide for yourself whether you would like to book your first intake appointment. There are no strings attached to the consultation and there is certainly no pressure for you to come back. Simply come and explore the practice that we have all come to love and appreciate!
What osteopathic techniques do you incorporate?
During on manual osteopathic session, the therapist will primarily incorporate the muscle energy technique, osteo-articular mobilizations, craniosacral therapy, visceral manipulation, and many other soft tissue modalities. Moreover, the therapist will occasionally implement somatic emotional release (SER) for trauma resolution.
I have a referral for osteopathy from my doctor. Will it be covered under MSP?
It is important to note that manual osteopathy is NOT osteopathic medicine and is, therefore, not covered by MSP. Unfortunately, this remains true regardless of whether a medical doctor has given a referral.
Can I use insurance for my osteopathic appointments?
Absolutely! Many extended health plans now incorporate manual osteopathy! Simply be sure to review your plan details or speak with one of your insurance representatives before your appointment. Once confirmed, you can pay for your appointment up front, then submit your receipts to your insurance for reimbursement. Unfortunately, we are unable to facilitate direct billing for osteopathy at this time.
