Our Services
Care at Desjardins Osteopathy is centered around understanding each person as an individual. Treatment plans are tailored to your unique needs and guided by what your body presents during each session. Through thoughtful assessment and attentive hands-on care, treatment aims to address areas of restriction and support the body in returning to a more balanced and comfortable state.
Initial Osteopathic Assessment and Treatment - 60 Minutes
$140.00
This first appointment begins with a review of your detailed health history form, which is completed prior to the visit. The practitioner will take time to understand your concerns, symptoms, and overall health background.
A postural and visual assessment will then be performed, followed by a mobility and structural evaluation to identify areas of restriction, imbalance, or dysfunction within the body. These findings help guide the development of an individualized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
The session also includes the beginning of treatment, using gentle hands-on osteopathic techniques aimed at addressing the primary areas of concern and supporting improved function within the body.
Infant and Toddler Assessment and Treatment - 30 Minutes
$80.00
Osteopathic treatment for infants and young children uses very gentle hands-on techniques that always respect the comfort and tolerance of the child. Sessions are guided by what the baby or child is comfortable with, allowing treatment to proceed at a pace that supports relaxation and cooperation.
During the appointment, the practitioner will assess posture, mobility, and areas of tension or restriction that may be contributing to the child’s concerns. Treatment may help support issues such as colic, reflux, constipation, torticollis, feeding challenges including tongue ties, or general patterns of discomfort or unsettled behaviour.
Infants may need to pause during treatment to feed or settle, and these breaks are completely welcome and expected. Parents are encouraged to bring extra diapers and a change of clothes for their infant. For toddlers, bringing snacks, toys, or quiet activities can also help keep them comfortable during the visit.
The goal of each session is to provide gentle, respectful care that supports the child’s comfort, development, and overall well-being.
Follow Up Osteopathic Treatment
30 - 45 - 60 Minutes
$80.00 - $120.00 - $140.00
Follow-up appointments build on the findings from your initial assessment while allowing treatment to evolve as your body responds to care. At the beginning of each session, the practitioner reassesses posture, mobility, and areas of restriction to observe the changes that have occurred since the previous treatment.
Dr. Andrew Taylor Still, the founder of osteopathy, often summarized the philosophy of treatment with the phrase “Find it, fix it, leave it alone.” This principle reflects the idea that care should focus on identifying the key areas of dysfunction, addressing them appropriately, and allowing the body time to adapt and respond.
Because of this approach, each follow-up session may differ slightly as treatment is guided by what the body is presenting at that time.
When appropriate, simple home exercises or movement recommendations may also be provided to help maintain the changes made during treatment and support ongoing progress between visits.
