Osteo FAQ
What Does an Osteopath Do?
Osteopaths use hands-on techniques to assess, diagnose, and treat dysfunctions in the body’s muscles, joints, and connective tissues. The goal is to restore mobility, improve circulation, and support the body’s natural ability to heal through non-invasive interventions.
What's the difference between osteopathy and physiotherapy?
While both focus on restoring movement and reducing pain, Osteopathy takes a specific whole-body, structural approach — looking at how the body’s systems interact. Physiotherapy often focuses more on targeted exercise and rehabilitation for specific injuries. At ASCEND Rehab, we integrate both approaches for the best, most comprehensive care.
How Will I Feel after an Osteo treatment?
Osteopathic treatments are gentle and safe for people of all ages. Most patients feel relief or light soreness after treatment, similar to post-exercise muscle soreness. Techniques are always adapted to your comfort level and medical history.
Is osteopathy covered by insurance or health benefits?
Yes, most extended health insurance plans in Canada cover Osteopathic treatment when provided by a registered Osteopathic practitioner. Coverage amounts vary, as does direct billing, so it’s a good idea to review your benefits or contact your provider for details.
