Former NHL goaltender for the Buffalo Sabers, Nathan Lieuwen shares his story of success with osteopathy.

Between the ages of 22 and 26, Lieuwen suffered multiple concussions that left him with debilitating symptoms:
• persistent headaches
• brain fog, and
• a lasting impact on his peripheral vision.

Despite his determination to continue playing, post-concussion symptoms made it impossible for him to perform at the elite level required of an NHL goaltender. At 26 years old, he made the difficult decision to retire.

Buffalo Sabres management did everything they could to help Lieuwen. He was evaluated by leading neurologists, surgeons, and optometrists across the United States. Despite extensive testing, no specialist could pinpoint the cause of his symptoms or offer a path forward.
“I tried every treatment they offered,” he says. “Nothing made a difference.”

Returning to his family home in the BC Interior, Lieuwen heard aboutosteopathy as a treatment option. With little left to try, he booked an appointment with a local osteopathic practitioner.

The impact was immediate.

“After one treatment, I knew this was different. Most of all, she gave me hope.”

Over time, his post-concussion symptoms eased. His energy returned. His vision improved. He regained the ability to function fully: at first for a few hours a day, then steadily more.

Today, nearly every issue stemming from the concussions has been resolved.
The few minor ones that remain are manageable with ongoing osteopathic
care.

Seven years after his first osteopathic treatment, Lieuwen is thriving.

Lieuwen hopes his story will encourage others - athletes and non-athletes - to explore osteopathic treatment if they’re experiencing persistent symptoms after a head injury.

“I’ve had incredible changes to my health and well-being because of osteopathy,” he adds. “I hope others will consider seeing a qualified osteopathic practitioner. It might give them the hope and the progress that
they’ve been searching for.”

Free Osteopathic Assessments for a Limited Time.
🤔Is Your Body Throwing Tantrums Again? (Free Osteopathy Assessments—Yes, Free)

That weird hip click?
The neck that only turns left like a broken shopping cart?
The baby who only naps on top of you but not on the left side because that’s “the crunchy side”?
Yeah… we see you. And your body’s been leaving clues.

🌀 Let’s decode them.

For a limited time, Victoria Rollit and Florent Carrier—two brilliant, gentle, slightly magical osteopathic practitioners—are offering FREE 30-minute assessments at West Coast Osteopathy & Wellness.

✨ What you’ll get:
✔️ A postural check (because we all secretly lean like confused flamingos)
✔️ A cranial rhythm assessment (yes, your skull has a rhythm—it’s cooler than it sounds)
✔️ A visceral mobility check (fancy talk for: are your guts moving the way they should?)
✔️ Actual answers. Zero judgment. No pressure.

This is not a treatment. It’s like a first date with your nervous system.
Except nobody has to pay. Or make small talk.

👴🏼🧓🏼 Osteopathy can play a crucial role in managing age-related challenges, offering several benefits to older adults.

As we age, the body undergoes a variety of changes that can impact our physical health.

Reduced bone density, joint stiffness, muscle loss, and postural changes are common, often leading to discomfort, reduced mobility, and chronic pain.

🤲🏽 Regular Osteopathic treatments can help reduce these negative effects of age-related challenges through gentle manipulation techniques and alignment of the tissues of the body.
