The Osteopathic Approach
Osteopathic care incorporates a broad range of approaches to the maintenance of health and the management of disease. It embraces the concept of the unity of the individual’s structure (anatomy) and function (physiology); recognizes that each patient’s clinical signs and symptoms are the consequences of the interaction of multiple physical and non-physical factors; and emphasizes the importance of the patient-practitioner relationship in the therapeutic process. Osteopathy and osteopathic medicine are person-centered approaches (rather than disease-centered) to healthcare.
Rachel Gorman, M.OMSc, CYT
Rachel completed her foundational osteopathic education from Hamilton’s Canadian Academy of Osteopathy in 2017 and continues to participate in post graduate studies both in Canada and the US. Also a certified yoga teacher, she has been exploring the intersections between movement and health for more than a decade.
During her undergraduate studies at Ryerson University, Rachel spent her spring and summers working in reforestation in the backcountry of British Columbia. Over the years, this arduous work led to chronic pain affecting her daily life. This is the path that brought her to osteopathy; first as a patient and then a practitioner.
Rachel is a member of the Ontario Association of Osteopathic Manual Practitioners.
