In this site you will find valuable information on osteopathic manual practice in Alberta

Osteopathy is both a natural medicine and a treatment philosophy, which seeks to identify areas of the body that are not functioning optimally then gently ease these restrictions so that normal function can resume.

Osteopathy applies the knowledge of structure (anatomy) and function (physiology) of the body, to all diseases, disorders and dysfunctions. The tools osteopaths use are their hands. Osteopaths use a gentle “hands-on” or “manual” approach to identify the causative factors of the problem and restore order to all of the systems: musculoskeletal, respiratory, cardiovascular, digestive, reproductive, or nervous system.

There is not one technique that is specific to osteopathy, but its practice demands the body be addressed as a whole unit and consideration be given to all of its components: Body, Mind, and Spirit.

The AAOMT’s mission is to advance the profession of manual osteopathy by unifying its members and educating the public. The AAOMT is committed to setting the standards of manual osteopathic practice in Alberta.
