What Conditions Are Treatable With Osteopathy Services?
Do you have problems with backpain? Maybe you experience generalized discomfort and body aches? Are you stressed and notice your upper back, neck, and shoulders always feel tight and tense? Do you have arthritis or other types of joint problems?
There are just some of the different types of conditions that can be treated using osteopathy services. Essentially, injury that results in pain and discomfort, including medical conditions that cause chronic pain, can benefit from osteopathy treatments.
How Are Osteopathy Treatments Performed?
Osteopathy treatments use a wide range of hands-on, manual techniques to help restore balance within the body. When the body and its systems are in balance, you will feel better, become stronger, and have more energy.
Some of the various treatments and techniques your Osteopath could use include:
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue Pressure
Joint Manipulation
Stretching of the Soft Tissues
Strengthening Exercises
Ligament Manipulation
Spinal Adjustments
Cranial Massage
Hot and Cold Compressions
Furthermore, osteopaths may use other forms of preventative treatments, like sports taping to provide additional support for an existing injury, as well as to reduce the risks of reinjury after recovery. Osteopaths are trained to utilize other types of chiropractic and physiotherapy treatments for a well-rounded treatment plan.
Why Use Osteopathy To Treat Painful Conditions And Injuries?
Osteopathy treatments are designed to help alleviate pain and discomfort while promoting faster recovery. Your osteopath will determine the root cause of your condition and include treating that cause as part of your treatment plan.
Osteopathy treatments are non-invasive and drug-free, so there are relatively few, if any side effects. Furthermore, osteopathy can be used on anyone regardless of their age including infants, toddlers, children, tweens, teens, adults, pregnant women, and the elderly.
How Long Often Are Osteopathy Treatments?
The duration of osteopathy treatments will vary from one patient to the next. It depends on the type of injury or chronic condition, as well as the root causes. Initially, treatments may be recommended several times a week to help alleviate pain and promote a speedy recovery.
As your body heals and becomes stronger, treatments can become weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. Treatment maintenance after recovery, further increases your body’s strength, promotes a stronger immune system, and promotes better overall health and well-being. Plus, you can reduce the risks of reinjury and help keep the systems within your body working together harmoniously and correctly.
Are Osteopathy Treatments Painful?
Depending on the extent of the injury or chronic condition, there can be some minor discomfort and pain when beginning treatments. Many patients often notice less pain and discomfort at the end of their first treatment. Some patients also report a general sense of feeling refreshed and relaxed after treatments.

I recently injured my elbow at the gym and was in a lot of pain. The clinic I usually go to was closed and my backup clinic was fully booked. I called Physiotherapy First which was close to work for me and they were able to see my right away. That was a good start and things got better from there.In less than 2 weeks of treatment I was pain free and could resume normal gym activity. I have NEVER had similar results with any other physiotherapist or chiropractor! In most cases it was months before I was able to resume normal activity.Why? First, they have an exceptional team starting with Reception who made sure there was little wait time for me upon my arrival, to the Physiotherapist (Harween Kaur) who diagnosed my situation and prescribed a course of action, and the Physiotherapist Assistants who professionally and caringly attended to my healing. Second, there was a variety of techniques and treatments that were used in my recovery (manual manipulation, ultrasound, electrical wave therapy, hot and cold therapies, paraffin wax soak, strengthening exercises). Most other physiotherapists seem to have only one or two of these (eg. massage gun). Finally, you get value for your money. My follow up appointments with other physiotherapists lasted a maximum of 20 minutes. But at this clinic most follow up appointments were close to any hour. They seemed sincerely interested in helping me recover and less so in how quickly they could turnover patients.Needless to say, I have a new “go to” clinic for my rehabilitation needs – Physiotherapy First. Thanks so much Harween and Team!

This clinic is a true gem! I am so glad that my friend referred me to this clinic after she personally had excellent response to the treatment provided here. I initially went with chronic ankle pain and swelling. To my surprise, it went away just in 2 visits!! I was expecting it would go for at least for few months. Gagan and her team (I think Harleen? ) were really amazing! I can't thank them enough!! I have been to other physiotherapy clinics before, and I silently noticed the difference how they work. I am myself a health care professional and I am amazed how they blend hands-on approach to release scars/tightness with traditional physio techniques. They spend extra time to identify the root cause of pain to ensure they are working on right tissues. Later I also went for rt knee pain, and felt lot of relief. They also focus on preventative medicine and will give tips how to prevent recurrence! Sometimes they run bit late (and everyone needs are different); but when they focus on you, they will never rush you. They are well organized with good staffing-both at front and physiotherapy assistants. If someone is on fence, I would say give a try-You will never regret it!

Gurdev is THE BEST !!! AWESOME Osteopath / RMT and gets to the root of the issue. INCREDIBLE thorough PROFESSIONAL !!First name Gurdev means "Deity" and last name Vaid means "Practitioner". The name truly justifies the profession she has chosen; She is truly God sent and I would 1000% recommend Gurdev.+ Their admin Shobha Sandhu (Smiling assassin) does an amazing job as well and MOST IMPORTANT ---Make sure to pay up front for your visit if it's the last appointment else she may interrupt your session for the fee. LOL....

I just wanted to take a moment to share my positive experience with the entire staff. Thay have been exceptionally helpful in every interaction. The staff's knowledge and friendliness truly stand out, making each visit a pleasant experience. Everyone takes their time to explain things thoroughly, ensuring that I fully understand.
