Book NowOur approach
This is where
care feels different.
Most care feels rushed: quick assessments, temporary relief, and symptom-focused treatment. At Etobicoke Osteopathy, we take a more thoughtful approach. Through osteopathic care and Registered Massage Therapy, treatment considers movement, tension, breathing, connective tissue, stress, and the nervous system — and how they influence the way you feel throughout your life.
It’s time for a change
By understanding how your body has adapted over time, treatment can support deeper, longer-lasting change — helping you move, recover, regulate, and function with greater ease throughout your life.
Your care is shaped
around you — not a
predetermined
treatment formula.
Osteopathy and Registered Massage Therapy offer different approaches to hands-on care, but share a common goal: understanding what your body needs to move, recover and function more comfortably. Sometimes that means looking beyond where discomfort is showing up. Sometimes it means working directly with muscular tension, mobility and recovery.
Registered Massage Therapy
More than a massage.
Care designed around your body.
Registered Massage Therapy at Etobicoke Osteopathy combines hands-on treatment with an understanding of how muscles, movement, workload, stress, and recovery affect the way your body feels and functions.
Whether you're managing persistent tension, recovering from activity, navigating pregnancy and postpartum, or simply trying to move and feel better, your treatment is shaped around what your body needs that day — and where you want it to go next.

Common
Questions
What is osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a hands-on approach to care that looks at how your body moves and functions as a whole.
Treatment considers the relationships between joints, muscles, viscera, connective tissues and other areas of the body, rather than focusing only on where you feel symptoms.
What is massage therapy?
Massage therapy uses hands-on techniques to work with muscles, connective tissues and other soft tissues of the body.
Treatment may help reduce tension, improve mobility, support recovery and help you feel and move better.
What makes your approach different?
We look beyond the symptom in front of us.
Care at EO is thoughtful, individualized and collaborative. We take the time to understand what you are experiencing and build treatment around you.
Why do you sometimes treat areas away from my pain?
Because the body is connected.
Where you feel pain or tension is not always the only area contributing to what you are experiencing, so treatment may include other areas of the body.
What happens during the first appointment?
Osteopathy: Your first visit includes a conversation about your health and concerns, an assessment and treatment.
Massage therapy: Your RMT will review your health history and goals before creating a treatment that fits your needs.

How will I feel after treatment?
Everyone responds differently.
You may notice a change right away, over the next few days, or gradually over a series of treatments. Mild temporary soreness can also happen.
Is treatment painful?
Treatment should always feel appropriate for you.
Your practitioner will adjust the pressure and approach based on your comfort and communicate with you throughout your appointment.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on what you are experiencing, your goals and how your body responds.
We will always talk openly about what makes sense for you. There are no predetermined treatment plans.
Can I combine osteopathy or massage therapy with other care?
Absolutely.
We regularly work alongside other health and movement professionals and will refer or collaborate when another perspective could be helpful.
We do recommend spacing out your treatments by a few days to ensure you get the most benefit out of each modality.
What should I wear to my appointment?
For osteopathy, wear comfortable clothing you can move easily in. Treatment is performed fully clothed.
For massage therapy, your RMT will explain your options and make sure you are appropriately draped and comfortable throughout your treatment.
Do I need a referral?
No referral is required to book with us.
Some insurance plans may have their own requirements, so it is always worth checking your individual coverage.
Are osteopathy and massage therapy covered by insurance?
Most extended health plans include Osteopathy and Registered Massage Therapy, but coverage varies by plan.
Chelsey belongs to the Ontario Association of Osteopathic Manual Practitioners (OAO), which is covered under all extended health plans that cover Osteopathy.
You will receive a receipt to submit to your insurer for reimbursement.
