Osteopathy for back pain, neck pain, sciatica and headaches
You know that nagging ache that follows you from the desk to the couch to bed? Pain often shows up in one place while its cause sits somewhere else. Kathleen looks at how your whole body is working together, then uses gentle, hands-on techniques to ease tension and help you move more comfortably, so sitting, driving and sleeping feel easier again.
Osteopathy for sports injuries
Whether you train for races, play in a weekend league or simply love being active, a strain can throw off your whole routine. We help you recover, work out why it happened, and get back to the things you love with more trust in your body.
Craniosacral therapy in Ottawa
Some days you don’t need fixing, you need to slow down. Craniosacral therapy is a very gentle, hands-on therapy offered for stress and relaxation. With a light touch and plenty of quiet, many people use it as one calm hour in a busy week to breathe, settle and reset.
Youth osteopathic treatment
Watching your child hurt, or a young athlete get sidelined by pain, is hard. As a youth osteopath in Ottawa, Kathleen offers movement assessments and gentle, age-appropriate care for kids, teens and young athletes, including growing-related knee or heel pain such as Osgood-Schlatter and Sever’s. She explains what she finds in plain language, for you and for them.
