Frequently asked questions

Tap a question to open it.

What is osteopathic manual therapy?

A gentle, hands-on, non-invasive approach that works with the whole body, including joints, muscles, connective tissue and posture, to support its natural ability to move and feel better. Rather than focusing on one sore spot, your practitioner looks at how the whole body is working together.

Which baby visit should I book, 30 or 60 minutes?

The 30 minute first visit suits most babies with one main concern, such as feeding or a head-turning preference. Choose the 60 minute first visit for older children and teens, when there is more than one concern, or when you would like extra time for questions. Not sure? Call 226-984-8000 and we will help you choose.

Which adult follow-up should I book?

Most people book the 45 minute follow-up for ongoing care. Choose 60 minutes if you are working on more than one area or would like more hands-on time.

Is osteopathy safe for babies and newborns?

Yes. Techniques used with babies are extremely gentle and non-invasive, using only light touch. A parent or guardian stays with their child for the whole appointment.

Is osteopathy safe during pregnancy?

Yes. Prenatal osteopathy uses gentle techniques chosen for comfort and safety, and positioning is adapted as your pregnancy progresses.

Do I need a referral?

No. You can book osteopathic manual therapy directly online, any time.

Is osteopathy covered by insurance?

Osteopathy is not covered by OHIP, but many extended health plans and Health Spending Accounts cover osteopathic manual therapy. Coverage depends on your plan and your practitioner's credentials, so check with your insurer. We provide a detailed receipt for your claim.

How many sessions will I need?

It varies. Some people notice a change after one or two visits, while others benefit from a short series. Joshua will suggest a plan after your first visit, and you are never locked in.

What should I wear?

Comfortable clothes you can move in. Dress little ones in soft, easy clothing and bring a favourite toy, soother or feeding items to keep them settled.
