You are in safe hands

While Osteopathic practitioners in British Columbia are currently in the process of becoming regulated professionals, membership with OsteopathyBC (OBC) ensures that practitioners have completed formal education.

In addition to OBC membership, patients can be confident that our practice comes from a highly regulated background,

including the UK General Osteopathic Council (GOsC) — one of the most rigorous regulatory bodies in the world, as well as licensure with the Brazilian Physiotherapy Council (Crefito-3).

Each service is delivered to uphold the highest standards of competency, consistent excellence and reliable care.
