Frequently asked questions

What is osteopathy?

Osteopathy is a type of hands therapy that uses non-forceful techniques to create movement and improve harmony/symmetry of all parts. Osteopathy looks at all layers of the body from fascia, muscle tissue, and down to the ligament/bones to treat health issues. It focuses on the relationship between the body's structure and function to promote natural healing.

How is osteopathy different from physiotherapy or other manual therapies?

Osteopathy differs from physiotherapy and chiropractic in its whole-body approach. While physiotherapists focus on specific injuries with exercise-based rehabilitation, and chiropractors primarily perform spinal adjustments, osteopaths examine how all body systems interconnect. They use gentle manipulation to improve mobility and enhance natural healing, addressing underlying causes rather than just symptoms. If you’d like to learn more, check out our blog post covering this very topic.

Can osteopathy help with postpartum recovery and infants?

Yes, osteopathy can aid postpartum recovery by alleviating back pain, pelvic discomfort, and muscle tension. For babies, it can help with colic, reflux, and sleep issues. Always consult a qualified osteopath experienced in treating postpartum women and infants.

Is osteopathy covered by insurance?

Many private health insurance plans cover osteopathy treatments. Check with your provider for specific coverage details. Although we don’t provide direct-billing, we do provide receipts after payment for insurance claims.

Are osteopaths qualified healthcare professionals?

Yes, osteopathic manual practitioners (OMPs) undergo extensive training of 4 years including anatomy, physiology, pathology, and osteopathic techniques. Both our OMPs are graduates of the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy and members in good-standing of OST-CAN and the Ontario Osteopathic Association (OOA).

How can I prepare for an osteopathy appointment?

Wear loose, comfortable clothing, ensure you have completed your intake and consent forms sent to you via JaneApp and bring any relevant medical reports or imaging if you haven’t included it online.

How many sessions will I need?

Many patients notice improvement after just a few sessions, but this varies depending on your condition, its severity, and how long you've had your issue. Your OMP will discuss a treatment plan during your first visit.

Is osteopathic treatment painful?

Most osteopathic treatments are gentle and shouldn't cause pain. You might experience mild soreness for 24-48 hours after treatment, similar to how you might feel after exercise.
