The Ontario Osteopathic Association defines Osteopathy as follows:
Osteopathy is a profession that makes extensive use of manual assessment and treatment guided by the principles set forth by its founder, Dr. Andrew Taylor Still . Osteopathy emphasizes the interrelationship between structure and function of the body. Osteopaths are functional anatomists who use manual therapy. They find the health, rather than focus on disease. Osteopathic treatment works to restore proper body mechanics, nerve impulses and the circulation of body fluids.

What is Osteopathic Manual Therapy?
Members of the Ontario Osteopathic Association are Osteopathic Manual Therapists. Practitioners of Osteopathic Manual Therapy follow the theory that imbalances in the human structure contribute to or are directly related to the development and/or maintenance of disease. Anatomy and physiology is the foundation of Osteopathic treatment. Practitioners recognize that the human body is self-regulating and self-healing – and will strive for health if given a chance. Our role is to encourage this self-healing capacity through manual treatment – to convert the physical into the physiological. We allow nature to do its job of removing any and all obstacles and obstructions that will interfere with the proper nutrition and drainage of the body’s tissue. Understanding and adjusting the anatomical unity of the human structure is our job.

What is Manual Osteopathy?
Manual Osteopathic Practitioners are educated and trained to work exclusively without the use of drugs or surgery by using manual methods for structural assessment and treatment.

Brenda Kerrigan graduated in 2021 from the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy where she earned her Master In Practice of Osteopathic Manipulative Sciences (M.OMsC). Brenda is an active member of the Ontario Osteopathic Association (OOA) and is licensed and certified by Osteopathy Canada (OSTCAN).

Brenda is also a Certified Fluid Power Specialist and has 25 years of experience working in the Automation Industry as a Consultative Sales Engineer. Troubleshooting and always searching for the cause of the machine malfunction is second nature to Brenda.

As an Osteopathic Practitioner, Brenda applies her mechanical logic to the human body with the sole purpose of restoring each individual’s “normal”, therefore improving the efficiency of all of the body’s systems. An efficiently operating body has more resources available to repair damaged tissues that might be causing pain, and fight off potential infections that might affect daily life.
