Services
Osteopathic Manual Therapy
This hands-on treatment addresses musculoskeletal pain and mobility issues through soft tissue manipulation and joint mobilization. Our practitioners use precise techniques to improve circulation, reduce nerve compression, and restore natural body mechanics. Patients benefit from customized treatment plans that integrate postural correction and rehabilitative exercises to achieve lasting pain relief and improved physical function.
Somatic Counseling
Specialized counseling combines neuroscience principles with body-awareness techniques to address nervous system dysregulation. Our trauma-informed approach integrates breathwork, mindfulness, and somatic experiencing to help clients process unresolved emotional patterns. This modality effectively supports individuals dealing with anxiety, chronic stress, and the physical manifestations of psychological trauma through gentle, embodied healing practices.
Athletic Therapy
Targeted rehabilitation programs address sports-related injuries and performance optimization. Certified therapists employ movement analysis, soft tissue techniques, and functional exercise prescription to accelerate recovery. This service focuses on restoring athletic capacity while implementing preventive strategies to reduce future injury risk through biomechanical assessment and corrective training protocols.
Craniosacral Therapy
Gentle manual techniques target the craniosacral system to alleviate headaches, TMJ disorders, and neurological symptoms. Practitioners use subtle palpation to release restrictions in cranial sutures and spinal fluid flow. This approach effectively addresses concussion recovery, chronic pain patterns, and nervous system imbalances through non-invasive, rhythmic adjustments.
TPI Golf Assessment
Comprehensive evaluation combines swing analysis with physical screening to optimize golf performance. Certified specialists identify mobility limitations and movement inefficiencies affecting swing mechanics. Personalized exercise programs improve flexibility, strength, and rotational capacity to enhance shot accuracy while reducing injury risk through biomechanically-informed training strategies.

What conditions do you treat?
We treat chronic pain, sports injuries, post-concussion symptoms, women's health issues, digestive disorders, and nervous system dysregulation through osteopathic manual therapy and somatic approaches.
Do you accept insurance?
Most services qualify for extended health benefits. Check with your provider for osteopathy coverage details. Some practitioners have limited insurance-eligible options.

Are virtual sessions available?
Somatic counseling and select therapeutic sessions can be conducted virtually. Manual therapy requires in-person appointments at our Vancouver clinic location.
