Karina Gregory
My training and years of experience:
I am in my fifth and final year of Osteopathic Manual Therapy through the Canadian
College of Osteopathy Vancouver.
My healthcare background is in midwifery and my special interests are in Women’s
Health, prenatal and post-partum and newborn and paediatric care.
I also have over 20 years experience working as a support worker with people with
addictions, mental health and issues of poverty and underemployment.
My style, focus and what I offer to clients:
Osteopathy or Osteopathic Manual Therapy is a non-invasive manual therapy that aims to improve health across all body systems by manipulating and strengthening the musculoskeletal framework, while incorporating myofascial release as well as cranial-sacral techniques. Essentially, Osteopathy aims to remove any blockages to the expression of health within a person: be they emotional or physical or both. Each person is looked at in their entirety and the therapist will work with them to restore and support the full expression of their inherent health. Sessions are typically 1 – 1.5 hours long.
Who Can Benefit?
Osteopathy may help someone suffering from back pain, headaches, arthritis, tennis
elbow, digestive issues, and postural problems, to name a few areas. Treatment aims to support a person’s whole system and can help, among other things, to support the
immune system, assist with sleep cycles, and support the nervous, circulatory and
endocrine systems. Osteopathy can also support reproductive and hormonal health for women and includes specific treatment to support and balance pressure systems in the body, postural alignment helping with pelvic floor health, lower extremity and pelvic issues, cardiovascular and respiratory conditions as well as other areas.
