Osteopathic Manual Therapy

---

Founded in the late 1800’s by Dr. Andrew Taylor Still, Osteopathy is a drug free, non-invasive form of manual therapy that aims to improve health between all body systems. Osteopathic Manual Treatment entails gentle mobilization of all joints and soft tissues throughout the body,  and encourages the body’s natural ability to self heal and self regulate. Osteopathy emphasizes the interrelationship between structure and function of the body, and follows the theory that imbalances in the human structure contribute to or are directly related to the development and/or maintenance of disease. Osteopathic Practitioners formulate their treatments based on a set of principles that aim to reduce or remove restrictions and balance asymmetry in order to help restore normal physiological function of the body.

About Melina

Melina is a graduate from the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy where she completed her Masters of Osteopathic Manipulative Sciences (M.OMSc). With four and a half years of  intensive academic and hands on experience, Melina has practiced classical Osteopathy and is now a certified OOA (Ontario Osteopathic Association) member. She is equipped with an extensive educational background in biomechanics, along with functional anatomy, human physiology, and Osteopathic assessment and mechanical principles.

Melina discovered Osteopathy in 2016 while undergoing numerous sporting injuries. The treatments she received from a former graduate of the CAO were effective, non invasive, and successful in nature. Melina’s recovery sparked a desire to continue on this path, and inspired her to help others heal. 

Melina is a huge advocate for living a healthy and active lifestyle, and believes that proper adjustment, stability, and balance of the human structure, are the key components to maintaining harmony in the body; which ultimately leads to optimal health.  

Melina is dedicated to providing excellent and curated treatments to each of her patients with the idea of aiding the body's natural process of healing in a holistic manner. She aims to provide her patients with the best care possible and with a treatment plan that is catered and unique to each patient and their specific needs and lifestyle. With a continued desire to learn, Melina will never stop being a student of Osteopathy and aims to expand her knowledge while emphasizing the importance of finding the root cause of disease, oppose to treating symptoms. She is thrilled and eager to use her skills to help others heal themselves, and is proud to serve the Sarnia-Lambton Region with Classical Stillian Osteopathic Care.
