Manotick Osteopathy Clinic
Welcome to Manotick Osteopathy. Our practice is built around a highly specialized approach in osteopathy: thermal-assisted soft tissue treatments.
This focused method has shown strong results in easing:
- Myofascial tension and “spikes”
- Muscle-related pain
- Low back discomfort
- Neck pain and stiffness
It is a narrow field of specialization, but one that can bring real relief for people with persistent musculoskeletal symptoms. With over 20 years of experience in Ontario, our work combines hands-on massage therapy with sauna-based treatments rooted in osteopathic principles.
Thermal-Assisted Osteopathy
Recent scientific and clinical findings confirm that heat enhances the effectiveness of soft tissue techniques. Steam, heated compresses, hot stretching, and warm manual massage can increase tissue elasticity, improve circulation, calm the nervous system, and make the body more receptive to treatment. In particular, our signature sauna-based approach—the Hot Leaves Massage—integrates thermotherapy with manual therapy to create a synergistic effect that improves both immediate comfort and long-term outcomes.
The Osteopathy Packages include in sauna thermal experience during or before the therapy session. For guests who prefer not to use the sauna, the preparation can be done in the massage room with hot compresses and hot stones. However, the most effective techniques are delivered directly in the steam room, using special gloves, hot leaves, or heated towels.
Important to know:
In Canada, osteopaths are not medical doctors. We do not provide medical diagnoses, prescriptions, or referrals. If you are dealing with chronic illness, serious injury, or complex conditions, please consult your family doctor first.
Our role as osteopathic manual practitioners is to work with your body’s structure, ease restrictions, and support its natural ability to heal—always as a complement to your primary healthcare.
Age restrictions.
At this moment we do not offer treatments for children, although we are looking for personnel who specialize in this area. Since the treatments include thermal experiences in a wet and hot steam room, we strongly recommend that seniors consult with their family doctor before booking.
