Osteopathy Care in Vancouver, BC

At Thuja Wellness, we provide complete Osteopathy Care to help you feel your best and move comfortably. Osteopathy is a hands-on health practice that treats pain and problems in muscles, bones, tendons, ligaments, nerves, connective tissue, and internal organs. By using gentle body movement techniques, we help your body heal naturally and effectively.

Our Vancouver Osteopathic Practitioners hold a Master’s Degree in Osteopathic Medicine and have experience treating sports injuries, work-related pain, and posture issues. They work closely with each patient to provide the most effective care possible.

What Conditions Can Osteopathy Treat?

Osteopathy & Sports Injuries

Do you enjoy running, cycling, hiking, snowboarding, skiing, CrossFit, dancing, or yoga? Sometimes, injuries slow you down. Osteopathy relieves pain caused by your favorite activities. Our practitioners identify the main issue, treat it, and help you recover fully so you can return to your activities safely.

Osteopathy & Work-Related Injuries

Repetitive movements or prolonged positions at work often cause pain. For instance, whether you sit at a desk or work in construction, healthcare, or creative fields, strain may develop. Osteopathy reduces work-related pain, improves posture, and restores comfort, helping you enjoy your work again.

Osteopathy & Fertility

If you are planning a pregnancy, Osteopathy at Thuja Wellness may help improve fertility. By realigning the lower back and pelvis, we support healthy blood flow and proper nerve communication to your uterus and ovaries.

Osteopathy also works well with acupuncture because it has been shown to enhance fertility.

Osteopathy, Pregnancy & Birth Preparation

Osteopathy prepares your body for pregnancy by improving blood flow to reproductive organs. During pregnancy, it supports your body for optimal fetal positioning and reduces discomfort, such as lower back pain.

With regular treatments at Thuja Wellness, you stay pain-free, informed, and empowered throughout pregnancy, labour, and birth.

Osteopathy & Postpartum Recovery

Osteopathy helps new mothers recover faster. We realign the pelvis, lower back, and pelvic floor muscles. We also relieve neck, wrist, elbow, and rib pain caused by holding your baby. Our care makes nursing and daily life more comfortable while supporting overall recovery.
