A question we get asked a lot is "What is the difference between Massage Therapy and Osteopathy"

'Both massage therapy and osteopathy are forms of manual therapy that focus on improving the overall well-being of individuals. Massage therapy involves the manipulation of soft tissues to alleviate muscle tension, reduce stress, and promote relaxation.

On the other hand, osteopathy is a holistic approach that aims to restore the body's balance and function by manipulating the musculoskeletal system. Both modalities can help improve circulation, reduce pain, and enhance the body's natural healing process.

Whether you choose massage therapy or osteopathy, both can be beneficial in promoting physical and mental wellness.'

In light of the continuously unfolding developments on the Covid-19 virus, starting today (tuesday) I will cease treatments to do my part in flattening the curve. I'm committed to the health, safety and well-being of my patients, families and community.

Please know that I will be treating again as soon as it is safe to do so and I will continue to update you on the length of the closure as the situation unfolds. My decision will be based on the updates and the guidance of the Public Health Agency of Canada and our local Public Health Officer.

Although face to face interactions are not possible at this time, I welcome you to reach out with any questions or concerns. Emails will be checked regularly during this time. I will be reaching out to patients to reschedule any appointments in the upcoming weeks.

Thank you for your support and understanding. Stay informed and healthy and I look forward to seeing everyone soon.

I had the pleasure of meeting the leading specialist in climbing related injuries Dr Volker Schöffel this summer at the Canadian Climbing Medicine Symposium. He recently collaberated with Diki Korb and Patrick Matros, arguably two of the top climbing coaches in the world to create this useful guide to preventative training. It's focused for climbers however I think it would be helpful for all athletes. Have a look!
