Michelle Forward, RMT, D.O.M.P Osteopath

My practice, located in The Floatation Centre, is centered on the osteopathic foundation which takes a whole-person approach to healing and the inter-connectedness of mind, body and spirit. The osteopathic approach aids in pain relief and encourages the nervous system, organs, and musculoskeletal systems to balance and heal.
In 2008 I completed my massage therapy training and in 2017 I completed 5 years of osteopathy studies. Integrating everything I have learned, and continue to learn, allows me to better treat my clients. With each therapy treatment I empower my clients with knowledge of their conditions and the choices available to them. This is important in the mind-body connection that facilitates positive change.
What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy emphasizes the wholeness of the body, the inter-relatedness of the body’s structure to its function, and its self healing properties.
Osteopathic therapists study in detail the anatomy and physiology of the body, developing an understanding of how the body is structured and how it functions. One of the central principles of osteopathy is that if the body is well aligned the inherent wisdom of the body will heal itself.
