Ready for Change?

Time to Pivot!

At Pivot Point Osteopathy in Antigonish, I look beyond your symptoms to find the root cause of pain and tension. Using gentle, hands-on manual therapy, we support your body’s natural ability to heal—so you can move with more ease, sleep more deeply, and feel more like yourself again.

Manual osteopathy finds the connections between your symptomatic and pain presentation through a detailed personal history of accidents, injuries, and surgeries to determine the root cause of your pain and mobility issues. As manual osteopaths, we treat all things body related. To support your treatments, we develop a treatment plan, and recommend exercises and small changes to your routine to support the success of your treatments.

What does "Pivot Point" mean?

When we are ready to pivot, change happens!

A pivot point is the moment you decide to change direction. In your body, that might mean shifting from coping with pain and tension to working with your nervous system and structure. As your Manual Osteopath, I assist that shift — supporting your body toward alignment, ease of movement, and long-term comfort.

A Whole-Person Approach
Every body tells a story — falls, surgeries, stress, pregnancy, injuries, daily strain. Osteopathy doesn’t just treat the symptom; we look for the underlying patterns. Treatment is gentle and hands-on, working with muscles, joints, fascia, scars, cranial bones and the nervous system to help your body move toward balance, reduce tension, and support natural healing.

Is Osteopathy Right for Me?

“I’ve tried other therapies. What’s different here?” — Osteopathy views the body as an integrated system: posture, past injuries, scars, nervous-system stress, breathing and structure. We treat the root, not just the symptom. “How many treatments will I need?” — Each body is unique. Many people start with 3 sessions, spaced 1–2 weeks apart. We build momentum together and adjust according to how your body responds.

How Osteopathy Supports the Body

What is an Osteopath?
Osteopathy is a gentle, hands-on therapy that looks at how the whole body works together — fascia, muscles, joints, nerves, circulation, and the cranial system. Instead of focusing only on where you feel pain, a Manual Osteopath looks for the deeper patterns created by past injuries, old concussions, birth experiences, surgeries, dental work, stress, and posture changes.

Why Should I Try It?
Osteopathy is especially helpful when symptoms don’t improve with other therapies or when you want someone to look at the full picture. It fills an important gap in areas without local concussion clinics or specialized TMJ or infant services. Clients often find relief from headaches, jaw pain, chronic pain, sensory overload, and tension patterns that have lingered for years. Babies also benefit from gentle treatment to address feeding issues, positional discomfort, and birth tension.

What to Expect at Your First Visit
Your first visit includes a detailed review of your history and the patterns contributing to your symptoms. Please wear loose, comfortable sportswear without hard seams or buttons to allow for gentle hands-on work. Assessment and treatment are combined and flow continuously while you are on the table, allowing me to follow how your body responds in real time. Sessions work with fascia, joints, cranial structures, drainage pathways, and the nervous system. Small changes often create whole-body shifts as old patterns begin to unwind.
