Osteopathic Manual Practitioner Practice Body - FAQ
How far are you into your education
of Osteopathy?
I am 1/2 way through the 3rd year of my four year program at the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy.
How long does it take, and what should I wear?
20-45 mins per session. Wear something comfortable that you can move easily in and will keep your body covered as I move you through various table positions.
Is this massage?
No, it is very different from massage. Yes I am a registered massage therapist, but this is a different approach to the body as described in the video.
Where will my appointment be?
At my home clinic north of the U of A Botanic Gardens on highway 60.
How much does it cost?
I appreciate and can accept donations towards my education fund, but currently I do not have a set charge as this is part of my education and getting hands on bodies is critical for my development.
How often can I sign up?
I will need practice bodies throughout my entire 4 year education so there will be plenty of opportunities and you most certainly can and are encouraged to book multiple times.
