What is Osteopathy ?
Osteopathy is a holistic, hands-on approach to healthcare.
It is based on 4 interconnected approaches that help understand how the different systems of the body work together.
Everything is interconnected
Musculoskeletal Approach
Focuses on muscles, joints, fascia, and bones
Commonly used for back and neck pain, joint stiffness, postural issues, and sports injuries
Aims to restore mobility, reduce tension, and improve movement
Cranial Approach
Addresses the subtle mobility of the skull, membranes, central nervous system, and sacrum
Supports nervous system balance and the body’s self-regulation
Often used for headaches, stress, sleep issues, and pediatric or perinatal care
Nervous System Approach
Works with the central, peripheral, and autonomic nervous systems
Helps improve communication between the brain and the body
Particularly relevant for chronic pain, fatigue, stress, and functional disorders
Visceral Approach
Focuses on the mobility of internal organs (digestive, respiratory, gynecological, urinary systems)
Restrictions in organ movement may affect posture and overall body balance
Aims to improve organ function, circulation, and their connection with the musculoskeletal system

Who we are

OsteopathyBC is a regulatory body that governs Osteopathic Practitioners in British Columbia. We are an unregulated profession for the time being, and OsteopathyBC helps advocate for us, regulate the level of education it takes to become a Osteopathic Practitioner, and helps educate the public about Osteopathy.
If your manual osteopath is a member of OsteopathyBC, that means they have had extensive training in Canada or around the world.
Because Osteopathy is unregulated nationally, it is possible anyone can call themselves an Osteopathic Practitioner with a online weekend course! This of course is not the case at White Rock Osteopathy. We are all in good standing with OsteopathyBC.
For more information, please see the Osteopathy BC website.
All our osteopathic Practitioners are members of OsteopathyBC, the leading association of osteopaths in British Columbia.
“Hands don’t fix — they accompany the body back to its own intelligence.”
