WHAT IS OSTEOPATHY ?

Osteopathy is a global approach that addresses the causes of pain and dysfunctions of the body. Its therapeutic effectiveness lies in the fact that the osteopath carefully examines each client, through various maneuvers and a thorough, meticulous palpation. Following this objective osteopathic evaluation, a plan specific to that person is established. The goal is to take into consideration not just specific problems but the overall person and how the body works as a whole.​

Currently, approximately two million osteopathic consultations are provided to the Quebec population each year, with overwhelming satisfaction.
