Healing Through Holistic Touch: Osteopathy at ReVive Health Solutions
When pain lingers or your body feels “off,” it’s not just about fixing what hurts—it’s about restoring how your body moves, breathes, and thrives. That’s where Osteopathy steps in, and at ReVive Health Solutions in Kanata, ON, it’s practiced with warmth, care, and expertise.
What Osteopathy Is—and Isn’t
-
- Whole-body, hands-on approach
Osteopathy is based on the idea that a balanced structure supports better function. Practitioners use manual therapy to help restore movement and well-being.
-
- Backed by credible medicine
Osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM) is a recognized therapeutic approach. It can relieve pain and improve function by restoring alignment across nerves, muscles, and joints.
Who Can Benefit?
With an empathetic approach at ReVive, Osteopathy can support a wide range of needs:
- Persistent back, neck, shoulder, or headache pain
- Sports or activity-related injuries
- Chronic conditions like arthritis
- Pediatric concerns—such as infant colic, reflux, constipation, feeding issues, sleep disturbances, or plagiocephaly—under the gentle care of specialists like Mohit Khosla
What a Visit Looks Like
From the moment you arrive, your comfort matters. At ReVive:
- Your first appointment includes a thorough health history, assessment, and individualized hands-on care.
- Follow-up sessions provide focused treatment along with practical self-care guidance.
- No referral is needed—appointments are easy to book, with flexible daytime and evening availability.
Techniques that Support Lasting Wellness
ReVive practitioners draw on methods grounded in reliable clinical practice:
- OMM techniques such as muscle energy, myofascial release, and gentle manipulation help loosen tight tissues, improve circulation, and ease joint stiffness, so your body can find balance and heal itself.
- Aftercare guidance—such as light walking, hydration, and rest—ensures your body adjusts well post-treatment.
- Mild soreness or fatigue is common—and expected. Practitioners always walk you through simple self-care steps to support recovery.

FAQs
Below, you’ll find answers to common questions to help you decide if Osteopathy may be right for you.
What exactly is Osteopathy and how does it work?
Osteopathy is a hands-on, whole-body approach that sees the body’s structure and function as interconnected. Through techniques like muscle energy, myofascial release, and manipulation, practitioners help your body move better, reduce stiffness, and support natural healing—focusing on alignment rather than masking symptoms.
Can Osteopathy help with back or neck pain?
Yes—well-supported studies and clinical experience show that osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) can reduce pain and improve function in both acute and chronic non-specific low back pain cases.
Who provides osteopathic treatment at ReVive?
ReVive’s team includes skilled osteopathic practitioners with diverse backgrounds. For example:
- Mohit Khosla is experienced with pediatric and general osteopathic care.
- Alex Marion is trained in osteopathic manipulative therapy and fascial stretch, especially for athletic injury recovery and performance optimization.
What should I expect after a session?
Many patients feel mild soreness or fatigue—this is normal. Staying hydrated, taking a gentle walk, and avoiding intense activity for about 24 hours can help your body settle into the adjustments.
For most people, Osteopathy is very safe apart from some minor soreness that may occur. Techniques are tailored to your condition, avoiding risks in cases like severe osteoporosis or vascular instability.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on your specific condition—some notice relief in just a few sessions, while others benefit from a longer personalized treatment plan. Your provider will discuss expectations with you.
Do I need a doctor’s referral?
No referral is required to book an osteopathic appointment at ReVive. You can schedule directly—often with flexible timing to suit your needs.
Can children receive osteopathic care?
Absolutely. Pediatric conditions such as colic, feeding challenges, plagiocephaly, sleep issues, and more can respond well—especially when treated with gentle techniques by qualified practitioners.
