Mehrbod Atshani
Osteopathic Manual Practitioner
Being enthusiastic to help others, started my journey to study medicine in my country about 18 years ago. After graduation, I packed my bags and went to the remote area and worked as an ER doctor. As a nature of my job, I have seen many people in pain and at the moment all I could do was prescribing medicine. But even at that time, I had the same feeling that there should be a missing link. Eager to help people with their addiction after getting my degree in rehabilitation I opened my own rehab clinic. During that period I have seen many patients with chronic pain that chose the wrong path. Desperate to deal with their pain, they used lots of opioids, narcotics and anti-inflammatory drugs and couldn’t find a way out of it. I was keep looking for a solution while I was in my country but unfortunately I didn’t get a chance to find a proper one.
Years later, when I came to Canada, I have been introduced to Manual Osteopathy by chance. Desperate with my back pain, I pay a visit to an osteopath. His healing hands not only healed my back but also made me wonder that if this is the alternative solution. Studied about human physiology and anatomy and pathology years ago during my studies, osteopathic approach to these sciences was completely different. I have been attracted to its holistic approach that was completely new to me and I realized that osteopathy was the thing that I was missing in my practice. Seeing body as a healing unit is the key. I decided to pursuit this way to help others and started study manual osteopathy. The more I studied the more I believed in it.

We are here to help your body go back to its natural alignment and the body do the rest. With a medical background and visiting thousands of patients back in my country, I am here to tell you by using manual osteopathy one could attain optimal health and reduce the need for surgery and drugs and help you live pain free. Osteopathy do wonders.

While I am not working, I enjoy outdoor meditation. As a night-owl, I Love to read a book and sometimes write a poem. I never stopped being a night-thinker. I have been to 20 countries in 3 continents and 175 to go and my most precious collection is my travel pictures.
