  • Have you ever had an osteopath appointment before? Well, I never had until I came here last year... I was in for a surprise and I don't know how I feel about it still to this day. Disclaimer: I totally admit that I never ever had osteopath before until my 2 sessions with Philip last year. So I don't have a benchmark or what is considered normal/expected practice. But after seeing some unusually perfect scoring reviews from a few, I figured I should give you my input so you know what to expect. Take it or leave it. I had such bad back pain from sitting on the wrong chair at work and I needed to take a day off to check it up. But I couldn't find any available appointments with my usual chiropractor on the same day. So I decided to try osteopath because my insurance offers some coverage and also the few great Yelp reviews I see. Philip was nice and also showed that my right shoulder was higher than my left (I had no idea!) and was able to correct it with some stretches. Now what I didn't know is the osteopathic stretches he did requires his whole body to hover on top of mine and using his legs and arms to curl around sometimes my limbs and stretch a part of my body out. Sometimes he would use his hands to press in places that are too close to ummm... sensitive areas like the centre of my chest or under my belly near where my underwear sits and other areas of my body. I mean golly I never had this kind of intimacy with any doctors in the past (I mean yes doc's do physicals but they don't get on top of you)! Even massage therapists don't go there. Now I admit he was mentioning the whole way what kind of tissues/body part or what not he's working on and how it's connected to other parts of the body. To me, it's all mumbo jumbo. Now I didn't want to stop him or tell him I felt uneasy about it because if that's the procedure required to heal my pain, I don't want my little overly sensitive butt to prevent him from curing me in the most optimal way. This is how osteopath is right??? right? I'm not sure but I feel kind of violated secretly. He mentioned that 2 sessions which include the first initial assessment should be enough and I can follow up on a need basis in the future. That's good he didn't try to sell me more sessions because I don't want to go back. He's nice/approachable and seem professional so it makes it hard for me to even write this review. It's either this place isn't for me or osteopath is not for me! Did the sessions help with the pain? I would say yes. But was it worthwhile? For me nah... no thanks only if I'm desperate. It did ease the pain so that it was much more manageable but not as instant as my chiropractor (I swear she has magical back-cracking power). Overall the whole osteopath experience does not feel as good/relaxing as a massage/back cracking from a massage therapist or a chiropractor.
