The founder of Osteopathy, Dr. A. T. Still, viewed the body as a machine and said that if one component was ailed, it would have an effect on the whole system. As classically-trained Osteopathic Manual Practitioners, we work to find the cause of the dysfunction in the body, and use our in-depth knowledge of anatomy and physiology to remove the lesion.
The principles of osteopathy are that the body has the ability to auto-regulate and self-recover. It is the job of the practitioner through restoration of structure and therefore function to bring the body back to it's inherent ability of those principles. Osteopathy works to restore the structure of the body to improve quality of life. Osteopathy is a drug-free, non-invasive manual therapy that aims to bring health to all systems of the body by working with the musculoskeletal structure. It works with the body to regain/maintain health and wellness through gentle movements.
The body is a dynamic unit of function, meaning it functions best with motion. Decreased motion results in stagnant fluid and can eventually lead to dis-ease. Osteopathy aims to reverse somatic dysfunction by restoring motion where it has been lost. By removing any obstructions in the vessels (nerve, blood &/or lymphatics) and restoring healthy tissue function, the practitioner can return the body to it's health baseline.
Osteopathy can address a wide variety of concerns;
Osteopathy is covered by all external health benefits.

Animal Osteopathy
Osteopathy can be beneficial for animals in the same way that it can be for humans; restore lost mobility, aid with chronic discomfort, stabilize their gait, etc. A gentle, manual treatment approach is used to restore circulation in the recovery from surgery/injury, for routine maintenance or for everything inbetween. Animals are incredible receivers of healing and it is a joy to work with them.
Currently offering treatment for horses, dogs, cats, any farm animals and pocket pets (including rabbits, guinea pigs, etc.). Often times it is recommended to do horse-and-rider pair treatments.
Prices vary depending on travel. For any inquires or to book a treatment for your animal, please email kelley@roseosteopathy.ca
Please remember that Osteopathic care is not a substitute for routine veterinary care.

FAQ
What can I expect when I go in for a treatment?
If this is your first treatment we'll have a brief discussion about your health history and then I will explain a bit about what Osteopathy is. Once you're comfortable we'll begin. Each treatment is specific to the patient but generally it will consist of gentle movements and long holds. The treatment is very relaxing and there is often no pain throughout.
Please wear comfortable clothing (athletic attire, sweatpants, etc.).

What does an osteopathic treatment look like?
Every treatment is unique depending on what the patient presents with and so each visit will look slightly different. There are no techniques in osteopathic treatment, because we work with the anatomy to affect the structure and function, and everyone's anatomy is slightly different. It's an extremely thoughtful process, we are not just going through the motions.

What would my animal need treatment for?
People require treatment for their animals for a variety of reasons; visual lameness (limping), their gait is unbalanced, trouble going up or down stairs, difficulty getting up, change in mood, hyperactivity, etc.
Is Osteopathy beneficial for kids?
Osteopathy is very beneficial for children - they respond very fast to treatment. The younger you are the more adaptable your hard and soft tissues are so the treatment sessions will be shorter and the results will last longer.
Osteopathy is especially great for newborns. The birthing experience is very traumatic and a delivery that is too long or too short can have lasting effects. If your child is colic there is a reason and osteopathic care can treat that. It is always a good idea to bring your newborn in for a session and get everything checked out.

I hurt my ______. How soon do I have to wait to come in for treatment?
The sooner the better! Osteopathy is very good at calming down the area that is in pain or spasming. The sooner you come in the sooner we can get you back to feeling better.
How many treatments do I need to come in for?
This is patient by patient and case by case. My general rule of thumb is to come in for 3-4 treatments and then we will have a conversation and see how you're progressing. From there we may adjust to every two weeks, once a month, etc. The end goal is to come in solely for maintenance, which is vital to your overall health and well being.
I just had surgery - how soon can I come in for a treatment?
Once you are cleared by your doctor for manual therapy then come on in. Osteopathy can help speed up the healing process by addressing the blood flow. If healthy blood and fluids are getting to the area of concern then healing will occur faster. If blood and fluids are leaving the area properly, then healing will occur faster. Swelling is an accumulation of fluid/blood and Osteopathy can be of great help to remove the obstructions.
How soon will a treatment fix my issue?
This is case by case but a good rule to abide by is that if you have had the issue for a long time, one treatment isn't going to cure all. Maintaining a strict regimen of treatment is the most beneficial way for you to see results. The patient and the practitioner will have to decide that this looks like. You can't shortcut lasting results.
