What Problems Do Calgarians Face?
Living in Calgary means your body is constantly adapting to unique stressors and seasonal changes:
- Neck, jaw, and shoulder tension from desk jobs and screen time
- Low back and hip pain from long commutes on Deerfoot or flights through YYC
- Concussion and whiplash symptoms from icy road slips and falls
- Frozen shoulders and stiff joints from winter cold exposure
- TMJ dysfunction, posture headaches, and stress-related flare-ups
- Pelvic pain or misalignment during pregnancy or postpartum recovery
- Vertigo, insomnia, and digestion issues often worsened by muscle and fascia imbalance
These conditions are common here, and we know how to treat them.
How Manual Osteopathy Works at Orthosports
Manual Osteopathy focuses on treating and strengthening your musculoskeletal system (joints, muscles, fascia, and spine), restoring proper function and reducing pain at its root.
At Orthosports, we use a combination of:
- Joint mobilization
- Soft tissue manipulation and myofascial release
- Postural and gait assessments
- Craniosacral therapy
- Visceral osteopathy for internal tension
- RAPID NeuroFascial Reset and Cyriax Frictions where appropriate
This holistic approach helps relieve pain, restore alignment, and optimize function, whether you’re a cyclist in Inglewood or a new mom in Mission.

Frequently Asked Questions About Manual Osteopathy in Calgary
What is the difference between manual osteopathy and massage therapy?
Manual osteopathy targets the root of pain by improving alignment and restoring function through joint mobilizations and fascia release. Massage focuses more on muscles and relaxation. At Orthosports Calgary, we often combine both when needed.
Is manual osteopathy covered by Alberta health insurance?
Manual osteopathy is not covered by Alberta Health Care, but most private extended health plans do cover it. We recommend checking with your provider and confirming that your plan includes osteopathic services.
Do I need a doctor’s referral for manual osteopathy in Calgary?
No referral is needed. You can book directly with Orthosports for a free initial evaluation and start treatment right away.
What should I wear to a manual osteopathy session?
Please wear comfortable, stretchy clothing like shorts, leggings, or a t-shirt. Unlike massage, manual osteopathy is performed fully clothed, with no draping or oils.
Does manual osteopathy help with TMJ and jaw pain?
Yes. Our Calgary clinic frequently treats TMJ dysfunction using craniosacral therapy and fascia release. Many clients report reduced jaw tension, headaches, and improved bite alignment.
Can manual osteopathy help after a concussion or car accident?
Absolutely. We offer gentle, targeted osteopathic care to support post-concussion recovery, whiplash, dizziness, and neck stiffness — especially common after winter road accidents in Calgary.
Is manual osteopathy safe during pregnancy?
Yes, it can help with pelvic alignment, back pain, and circulation. Our therapists have experience working with pre- and post-natal clients and will tailor your session accordingly.
How long is a manual osteopathy session?
Most sessions last 45–60 minutes, depending on the treatment plan. Your first visit includes a full postural and movement assessment.
How quickly will I feel results?
Many clients experience noticeable improvements after 1–3 sessions. Because we focus on root causes, results are often long-lasting and don’t require frequent ongoing visits.
