Courtney Wood Osteopathy
Less pain. More ease in your body.
Gentle osteopathic care that helps you feel less guarded, breathe more freely, and move with greater ease.
Osteopathy
Courtney offers gentle, hands-on osteopathic care for people experiencing pain, tension, restricted movement, and patterns of physical overload.
Osteopathy is a non-invasive manual therapy that works with the body as a whole rather than focusing only on isolated symptoms. Treatment may help reduce tension, improve mobility, support relaxation, and restore a greater sense of ease and movement in the body.
Sessions may include working with muscles, fascia, joints, ligaments, bones, and other areas contributing to strain, guarding, or restriction.
“I originally came to Courtney for the treatment of chronic pain in my shoulders and arms. I wanted to reduce or eliminate pain improve my range of motion in my shoulders. I keep coming back to Courtney because she doesn’t just treat the target area but instead treats my whole body from head to toe. I always feel so much better after the treatment. She is very professional and personable. She ask questions and provides valuable information.” ~ Kelly
Meet Courtney
My approach is gentle, attentive, and collaborative. I work with people who often feel physically tense, compressed, overwhelmed, or disconnected from ease in their body. Treatment focuses on helping the body soften protective patterns, restore movement, and create a greater sense of comfort and regulation.
I am a Manual Osteopathic Practitioner (M.OMSc), Holistic Nutritionist & Comprehensive Pilates Instructor. My past work involved teaching Pilates full time, for over 15 years. I started my career in 2004 as a Yoga Instructor & shortly after was certified at Body Harmonics as a Pilates Instructor. I worked there, teaching private sessions, group classes and continuing education courses for teachers. Throughout my teaching career, I worked in multi-disciplinary clinics & post-rehab settings, specializing in movement for improving chronic pain. I have my B.A. in International Development from the University of Guelph.
“Courtney really helped my back pain. Immediately after treatment I felt better, and for weeks after that it helped my back and body feel better. My body feels better aligned to function the way it’s supposed to with less aches and pains. She is great at her job, both professionally and as a person.” ~ Donika
