Chantel A

Manual Osteopathic Therapy

Chantel grew up in Calgary and completed her Bachelors of Kinesiology degree at the University of Calgary in 2009. Working first as a kinesiologist she learned how to develop a treatment protocol and rehabilitate patients after injury and/or surgery. She further developed her skills at the National Manual Osteopathic College, graduating with distinction as a Manual Osteopath in 2019. She is an active member in good standing with the National Manual Osteopathic Society. Driven by her desire to understand the complex nature of body pain her post graduate studies include Neuro-Kinetic Therapy, a neurological approach to body mechanics.

Manual Osteopathy is a useful hands on therapy for anyone experiencing acute or chronic body pain. She has experience working with a variety of athletes including hockey, volleyball, soccer, and rugby players. She works with infants/children, postpartum and pelvic floor dysfunction, as well as those with migraines/chronic headaches.

Her passion for Manual Osteopathy began with a desire to help people live their lives free of pain and has continued with the study of pain science and evidence based research to further her knowledge. Through osteo-articular corrections, visceral manipulations, craniosacral work, and fascial release she can help to create balance in your body and improve your structure and function.

During her off time you will find her on the snowboard hill with her husband and 2 children.
