This is not an exhaustive list, and osteopathic

practitioners can help with a wide variety of other

conditions as well. This hands-on therapy focuses

on relieving tension, enhancing mobility, and

optimizing the body's natural processes for

self-repair.

​

Many osteopaths in BC have trained in recognized

institutions across Canada as well as in other

countries, bringing a wealth of diverse knowledge

and techniques to their practice. 

 

Osteopathic education is guided by the World Health

Organization (WHO) benchmarks, which outline

comprehensive standards for training and practice to

ensure consistency and quality in osteopathy world-

wide. 

 

However, not all schools meet these guidelines, so it’s important for patients to seek practitioners who have trained at institutions adhering to these standards.

 

In BC, OsteopathyBC serves as a member association that upholds standards of education for membership and requires continuing education to ensure practitioners maintain high levels of expertise and professionalism. All practitioners at Barefoot Osteopathy are members of OsteopathyBC and have completed 4- or 5-year full-time education in osteopathy, ensuring the highest standard of care.
