osteopathic manual therapy

Osteopathy is a gentle, non-invasive, hands-on therapy that focuses on re-aligning the body and restoring movement. It can help restore health to all systems of the body, not just musculoskeletal aches and pains. By clearing the pathways for proper supply and drainage, we are able to restore health to the affected viscera that may have been compromised.

Osteopathy treats bones, joints, and muscles to enhance the body’s natural ability to heal. When the anatomy is unrestricted and each joint is moving properly, there is no excessive strain or load placed on one area of the body. This allows the nerves, arteries, veins, and lymphatic systems to flow freely.

Book an appointment

note on direct billing

Please read before booking your first osteopathic manual therapy appointment with us if you have insurance coverage.

Osteopathic Manual Therapy is often covered by most extended health insurance plans; however, your particular plan may not allow direct billing, but it will still cover the service if you pay for it first and then submit your receipt for reimbursement. If this is your first time booking Osteopathy, we recommend calling your insurance company first to confirm what they will cover, so there are no surprises for you later.

Canada Life will not cover Osteopathy when preformed by a Osteopathic Manual Therapist (DOMP), which means they will not cover services done by our Osteopathic Manual Therapist at Rebirth. Canada Life is the only major insurance company who will not recognize services provided by a manual therapist who has a Diploma in Osteopathy Manual Practice (DOMP). Even if you submit your receipt, they will not reimburse you.

Sun Life will cover Osteopathic services performed by a DOMP, but they do not allow direct billing. You will need to pay for your appointment in full, and then submit the receipt to them directly using their app or website to be reimbursed. We don’t know how long it will take to be reimbursed, but from talking to other customers we hear it’s only about 3 days.
