Dr. Andrew Taylor Still founded osteopathy 150 years ago. It teaches us that the body is a self-healing unit, with a close relationship between structure and function. In order to restore function, we first need to restore structure. Osteopathic techniques work with the body’s own natural healing ability, rather than against it. Research shows that osteopathy is one of the most effective options for chronic back pain. As a result, it can help you regain your full range of motion, so you can enjoy a pain-free life.
“Given the opportunity of trying out an osteopath for my body pain, seeing ‘Seyed’ has given me new hope. His sincere teaching and ability to assess body dynamics gives him a proud and humble inner self worth to be proud of, and makes the client see how he enjoys his profession. Continue on, in believing in yourself and make the world that much better with your methods of teaching, learning, and healing our body’s pain we go through.”
I can only recommend this place. My sessions with Mehrbod were great and brought me relief. He is very knowledgeable and also do the viscerals so it was very helpful for my situation. After 2 sessions I can eat quite normally again and my neck has more mobility. He takes the time and explains everything clearly. Thank you so much.
I had the privilege of being under the care of Mehrbod for my chronic back and neck pain, and I can’t praise his expertise and approach enough. After trying RMT and chiropractic with little success, I was losing hope. Mehrbod’s meticulous analysis of my posture and structure, along with his precise adjustments and exercises, has been a game-changer. Thanks to his systematic, holistic, and evidence-based methods, I’m now mostly pain-free after just a few months. Mehrbod’s comprehensive knowledge of the human body and his ability to target specific areas is truly impressive. Moreover, his genuine care for his patients and engaging conversations make the healing process even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Mehrbod for anyone struggling with chronic back pain.
Mehrbod is amazing. His medical background immediately set me at ease the first time we met; I have some serious neck issues and am cautious about who I allow to treat me. I truly would not be able to function effectively with his care. I am grateful that I found him.
“I would recommend this place to everyone. I was diagnosed with TMJ disorder and locked jaw and could barely open my mouth, let alone eat much. After only 2 sessions with Mehrbod, I was able to open my mouth and eat again. It was the first time I began to feel hopeful in my condition. Not only did I see results, Mehrbod is an osteopath who genuinely cares about his patients and want to help them be pain free. He is very knowledgeable and hands-on in your healing journey and is one of the nicest people I’ve ever met!”
Founder, Osteopathic Manual Practitioner
As an internationally trained medical doctor, I saw many patients suffering from chronic pain during my practice back home. Medicine was often all I could offer them.
When I moved to Canada and discovered manual osteopathy, I realized this practice could be the missing piece. That discovery led me to become an osteopathic manual practitioner, because I truly believe manual osteopathy can work wonders.
