Sophie has been working within the health service industry since 2007.

Osteopathy treats the body as a single integrated system with the goal of allowing the body to regain its maximum level of health. This means understanding, assessing and treating all aspects of the body including gait/alignment, fascia, muscles, bones, viscera, and fluid. It also means finding and addressing the primary cause(s) of a client’s issue(s) as to aid in the client’s day to day functions and activities.
Osteopathy is a treatment that is light and non-invasive and is designed to give the body time to accept the treatment being given. Osteopathic Manual therapy includes cranial-sacral therapy, body re-alignment, fascial unwinding, muscular and visceral release and skeletal manipulations. Please don’t let the lightness of the treatment fool you, after receiving treatment, you might feel like you have received a full work out.
Osteopathy can treat old or new issues, as well as provide ongoing maintenance for the body’s optimal health. Osteopathy is not a treatment option that only deals with a certain type of illness, injury, or dysfunction. Its broad approach means it can help with anything that disrupts a person’s feeling of being healthy and happy and it can help with maintaining one’s current health. Osteopathic treatments are beneficial for all ages.
Osteopathy can treat a variety of issues including: migraines, whiplash, concussions, TMJ (jaw issues), sciatica, body pain, gait/body mechanics, frozen shoulder, arthritis, chronic/acute pain, Fibromyalgia, sinusitis, breathing issues, reflux and digestion, pre/post pregnancy, motor vehicle/sport related injuries, pre-surgical preparation, post surgical rehabilitation, repetitive strain and any other issues that affect a person’s daily activities. Sophie also has experience with treating anxiety and PTSD by using Osteopathy as a tool to calm a persons system. She has had training for PCVRS/VAC clients and dealt with insurance companies dealing with MVAs.
Sophie is a member in good standing of the Nova Scotia Association of Osteopaths (NSAO), and Massage Therapist Association of Nova Scotia (MTANS).
She looks forward to meeting and treating everyone willing to give osteopathy a try. If its your first time, her assessment is thorough and she is willing to answer any question that will help you better understand your body and the osteopathic treatment you will be receiving.
Thank you for your time and have a great day :)
