About
Therapeutic Approach Health Centre
Osteopathy is a complementary health service that uses manual therapy to assess and treat restrictions in the body. Founded by Dr. Andrew Taylor Still in 1874, osteopathy is based on removing the causes of symptoms, which can be far removed from the symptom(s) itself.
Through studying the interconnectedness and interrelationships of the body, a practitioner approaches a whole person with a highly trained sense of touch and other tests to identify and treat restrictions and imbalances in the body. By removing these restrictions the body’s innate self-healing ability resumes. Osteopathic techniques involve many different types of soft tissue and joint manipulation including myofascial therapies, muscle energy techniques and cranial osteopathy.
Maxine has completed her 5th year of osteopathy. Her services are, unfortunately, not covered by extended health insurance plans until she finishes and defends her osteopathy thesis.

“The best explanation I can offer for an osteopathic approach is my story. I had years of plantar fasciitis and sought after and received many complementary health treatments. Nothing helped long-term until I saw an osteopath. My osteopath said my uterus was pushed to the left since being pregnant with one of my children. She did work on my uterus and my foot got better”.
