Meet Barb: Osteopathic Practitioner

Barb’s energy is tangible and the passion she has for her practice is evident in her treatments! Her vibrant personality is a fabulous addition to our space!

Barbara has her Masters of Manipulative Sciences and has been a member of the Ontario Osteopathic Association since October 2016 having graduated from the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy. She treats patients with varying discomforts from chronic or acute pain, muscle tension, joint and low back pain, structural dysfunctions, digestive and bowel ailments and more. Barbara treats by using manual therapy to adjust the body back to its normal and correct function to allow the body to self heal and self regulate.

“The work of an Osteopath is to adjust the body from the abnormal to the normal; then the abnormal condition gives place to the normal and health is the result of the normal condition” A.T. Still – founding father of the Osteopathic profession.

Osteopathic treatment is gentle and non-invasive making it a great therapy for everyone. Each treatment is customized to the individual patient because everyone is unique and should be treated as such.

Barbara started her career as a Registered Massage Therapist which led her to discover her passion for Osteopathy. She uses that collective knowledge to assess and treat as an Osteopath and continues to educate her clients and the community about the body’s optimal state of health and wellness.

In her free time she enjoys outdoor activities, healthy eating, cooking and helping others to be healthy.
