Michael Dennis
(M. OMSc)
As a graduate of Hamilton's prestigious Canadian Academy of Osteopathy, Michael spent four years earning his Master of Practice Diploma in Osteopathic Manipulative sciences (M.OMSc), and is currently a member of OsteopathyBC. An extensive and comprehensive knowledge of anatomy and physiology is the cornerstone to his application of osteopathic principles and treatments for clients.
Having suffered an array of injuries and trauma to his body over the years, including a broken back, hernia and multiple concussions and surgeries, Michael's journey of recovery back to health was marked by many setbacks. It was on this journey that he was introduced to Osteopathy as a modality for full body healing, and its potential for affecting the body's ability to heal and restore itself from injuries. Once his body had been properly realigned and given the chance to reset and heal, the progress was remarkable. Literally transformed by his experience, the decision was made to pursue Osteopathy as a career.
Drawing from his life experiences, Michael has a deep rooted sense of empathy towards those living in pain and discomfort, and seeks to help others on their road to rehabilitation. As an Osteopathic Manual Practitioner, Michael works as a facilitator to help unlock the body's amazing capacity to heal and regulate itself, and fully believes in the connection between mind, heart and body.
Outside of work, Michael can be found discovering new coffee shops and restaurants around town, and exploring the trails and oceanside all across the Island.
What our clients say
"Michael is definitely a healer. I had pulled a muscle in my back and was having a hard time sitting down, let alone standing up straight. Within an hour of my treatment I felt noticeably better, and was able to increase my range of motion and actually play with my kids. Michael is definitely the best Osteopath I've seen. He takes a sincere interest in your health and wants you to get to a healthy place. If you're looking for an Osteopath, I highly endorse Michael; you won't be disappointed"
"Michael resolved a long-standing problem I had with mobility in my arm and shoulder resulting from a fracture. Following regular osteopathic therapy, I regained mobility to fulfill simple movements -i.e. reaching back to grab a seatbelt, raising my arm to put on clothing, gardening, etc. - with no residual pain, stiffness or awkwardness. With monthly tune-ups, I feel more energized and confident about avoiding any set-backs. I highly recommend Michael. He is empathetic, knowledgeable, and professional. You feel calm and reassured in his care."
Michael was able to accomplish in 2 sessions what physiotherapy could not resolve over 3 months of treatment for an injury to my hand. Excellent care.
