Manual Osteopathy in Vancouver, B.C.

Welcome to Fairview Osteopathy

We specialize in Osteopathy and movement & awareness education

We are a team of osteopathic practitioners who are here to help you move better and feel healthier. Osteopathy is a holistic approach of manual therapy that is based in osteopathic philosophy and principles. The principles of osteopathy are deeply entwined with the understanding the human form and interrelationships of the anatomy and systems of the body. The osteopathic practitioner aims to support your body by applying this knowledge through manual therapy to reinforce your health. We use our hands to gently adjust your body. Education is also a component of our work so that you can move with greater ease and awareness and progress in your life’s endeavors.

Our Approach

Your body has a natural power (innate ability) to heal itself provided there are good conditions to do so. The osteopathic practitioner uses this idea/concept to support areas of the body towards health by addressing the whole person and providing care to the areas that need the support. We use our hands to assess the body and then use strategies (techniques) to regain harmony of the tissue and or system (musculoskeletal for example or digestive). The tissue that interests the practitioner could vary from bone and joints, fascia (connective tissue), organs and their fascia, lymphatic, blood vessels, and or nerves.

Movement & Awareness Education

In addition to Osteopathy, we offer movement & awareness education through the Feldenkrais® Method. This method aims to enhance body awareness and improve movement efficiency through gentle, mindful movements and guided awareness. Our certified Feldenkrais® Practitioner will guide you in exploring new ways of moving and help you discover your body's potential for greater ease, flexibility, and coordination. Feldenkrais can be helpful for chronic pain, restoring proprioception and awareness to areas of the body that have suffered injury, and repatterning. It is founded in understanding of neuroscience and human development. It is slow and gentle and not to be overlooked because of this! Come view your body through a different lens – allow us to orient and guide the discovery of your body in a new way.
