Form and Function Osteopathy

About Form and Function Osteopathy

Osteopathy is a hands-on therapy that is gentle and non-invasive, working to help the body self-heal and self-regulate. Through gentle adjustment of the body, we work to remove obstructions that restrict the flow of the blood, lymph and nerve impulses. Through our daily lives or trauma, the body's structure may be unbalanced or have dysfunction that limits our body's ability to breathe, move, digest, and many other functions. Once the structure is balanced, the body can self-heal and self-regulate. Manual osteopaths achieve this by working with the body's soft tissues, as well as the joints, ligaments, and bones. A classically trained osteopathic manual practitioner must use their vast knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics to do this effectively while applying the core osteopathic principles. Michelle is an Osteopathic Manual Practitioner in Ajax, ON. She completed her Masters in Practice diploma of Osteopathic Manipulative Sciences (M.OMSc) at the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy, which teaches Classical Osteopathy through principles-based treatment—meeting all requirements of the 4400-hour program, which includes 1000-hours of supervised clinical training in 2021. Michelle continues to expand her knowledge in functional anatomy, physiology, and osteopathic mechanics to bring her patients the best possible care.
