About osteopathy

Holistic medicine

Osteopathy is a gentle and holistic manual medicine. She considers the patient as a whole. The role of osteopathy is to restore mobility in the different structures of the body such as: bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, organs, the nervous and lymphatic system, blood circulation...

The goal is to act both preventively and curatively to restore the balance of the body. This therefore makes it possible to prevent compensation due to osteopathic dysfunctions and to improve the comfort of the animal during pathology already present.

The treatment of an animal is unique and adapted according to its needs. Thanks to the different trainings I have attended throughout my life, I am lucky to be able to choose the most appropriate treatments for each animal.

Its benefits

  • At an early age: balanced growth, reduction/removal of plumb problems

  • During old age: improved comfort, reduced risk of osteoarthritis and/or worsening

  • Middle age: improvement of comfort, prevention of certain pathologies

  • Sports animal: performance optimization, injury prevention, better recovery

  • Pathological animal: support and assistance in keeping the animal in shape, stabilization of pathologies, reduction of the risk of aggravation

  • Pre and post surgical: faster recovery, optimization of surgery, rehabilitation

  • Breeding animals: increased fertility, removal of possible pain related to mating (male and female) and giving birth

Where do I practice ?

I practice in all Ontario. I am based in Waterdown, so I am practicing in nearby towns within a maximum of 1 hour drive regularly. (Puslinch, Milton, Campbellville, Brampton, Toronto, Kitchener, Guelph, Cambridge, Burlington, Hamilton)

I opened my own Clinic since August 2023, located at 695 Middletown Road, Waterdown, L0R 2H2. I welcome Small & Medium animals (dogs, cats, exotic animals).

For further trips it will be by rounds with a minimum of animals required.

Regarding Northern Ontario, more specifically in the areas of Muskoka, Parry Sound, Nipissing, West Nipissing, Sudbury, Algoma and Renfrew County, Ottawa, I advise you to contact my partner Breanna Pearce directly.

I practice in the Caribbean on tours, mainly in the islands of Saint-Barthélémy and Sint-Maarten. I generally organize 4 to 5 rounds in the year or more depending on the needs of the animals. In Saint-Barthélémy I work at Clinique vétérinaire Centre de l’Oasis and at Clinique vétérinaire de Grand Case at Saint-Martin.

What types of treatment are involved in animal osteopathy?

Osteopathy, whether practised on humans or animals, is a discipline focused on the manual manipulation of the body. This type of therapy aims to restore the precise functionality of a particular body region while also focusing on the overall well-being of the animal. The osteopathic approach applied to animals is characterised by its holistic nature, taking into account the entire organism and not just treating visible symptoms. Each osteopathy session also includes expert advice provided by the practitioner to the animal's owner, with a view to optimising the animal's health and comfort.

Comprehensive support to help your pet get better

There are multiple, wide-ranging reasons why the intervention of an animal osteopath may be required. It's essential to point out that each approach is adapted according to the specifics of the animal to be treated, including its breed. For this reason, each osteopathy session begins with a careful observation of the animal, and asking the owner a series of questions. Muscle or bone damage frequently results in changes in your pet's mood and behaviour. This means each sign, each mood change and any unusual behaviour can serve as a valuable diagnostic tool to assess the animal's state of health. Animal rehabilitation through osteopathy involves an overall understanding of the animal's behaviour. The therapeutic procedures are, therefore, very diverse, including monitoring ageing, addressing fertility problems, post-operative follow-up, recovering from an accident, digestive disorders, and so forth.

Your Osteopath

Manon Turbé

From my young age, I've been passionate about animals, today I have 13 in my care, dogs, cats, horses, birds and rabbits, and it's not over... I try as much as possible to help abused, abandoned or familyless animals.

So I looked for a way to best help them in gentleness, understanding and listening. It was then that I found animal osteopathy, a very beneficial method of care without having the medicalized side (vaccines, bites, surgeries, euthanasia).

Since my graduation from the ESAO in 2020, I have been pleased to offer my services to the ATE (Territorial Environment Agency) of Saint Barthélémy in order to help injured wildlife so that it can return to its natural state. I had the chance to actively participate in the fitness of several iguanas and birds of different species, which were released to return to their previous lives.
