Lydia Henry is a osteopathic manual practioner registered with the Ontario Association of Osteopathic Manual Practitioners (OAO). What is osteopathy? Osteopathy is a treatment philosophy which identifies areas of the body that are restricted or constricted, then eases these restrictions so that normal function can resume. Defintion: Osteopathy applies the knowledge of the structure (anatomy) and function (physiology) of the body, to all diseases, disorders and dysfunctions. The tools osteopaths use are their hands. Osteopathic manual practitioners use a gentle “hands-on” or “manual” approach, applied through osteopathic philosophy, to identify the causative factor of the problem and restore order to all of the systems. Lydia is available for appointments at the Humber Athletic Therapy Clinic on Wednesdays from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Please call x4025 to make an appointment.
