Our manual osteopaths, Jeff Simnett and Nadiia Lendiel, use techniques such as myofascial release, muscle energy techniques and gentle joint mobilizations.

Osteopathy, massage, chiropractic or physio?

Osteo vs. massage

With manual osteopathy you stay fully clothed, and treatment combines soft tissue work, muscle activation and joint mobilizations. Massage uses lotion, with more skin contact and a focus on soft tissue.

Osteo vs. chiropractic

Osteopathy uses gentle joint mobilizations and soft tissue work throughout the whole body. Chiropractic care is more focused on the spine and can include adjustments.

Osteo vs. physio

Osteopathy takes a whole-body, manual therapy approach. Physiotherapy focuses on specific joint movement, activation, strength, sport conditioning and localized manual techniques.

Care in Ukrainian and Russian

Nadiia Lendiel also treats in Ukrainian and Russian.
