Meet the Osteopathic Manual Practitioners at Grimsby Health & Wellness

What is an Osteopathic Manual Practitioner?

A classically trained osteopathic manual practitioner makes use of their knowledge of anatomy, physiology, biomechanics and the principles outlined by its founder, Dr. A.T. Still. A manual osteopath is trained to restore health by removing obstructions that restrict the flow of nerves, arteries, veins and lymphatics. Their approach is gentle and holistic.

At Grimsby Health & Wellness, we are proud to host one of the only trained osteopaths in the Grimsby area. Natalie is also one of the only osteopaths to service Lincoln, Stoney Creek and nearby towns.

Hilary Falconer | Osteopathic Manual Practitioner

Hilary graduated with Honours in Kinesiology from Brock University while also being a member of the Figure Skating Team. During this time she developed a love for health, human anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics. Her strong passion for helping others led her to concentrate on Osteopathy at the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy (CAO). As a graduate of the CAO, she has developed the tools to help provide patients with comfortable, non-invasive treatments tailored to each individual. She is also a member of the Ontario Osteopathic Association recognized by the Canadian Insurance Company.

Her extensive knowledge and understanding of anatomy, physiology, and mechanics of the human body allows her to find the root cause of the problem rather than chasing the symptoms, providing effective treatment with lasting results. Hilary works on adjusting hard and soft tissues to remove obstructions that restrict blood flow and nerve function, to improve range of motion in joints, and to regain structural symmetry. She has a strong belief in the body’s ability to self-heal and self regulate when it is in optimal alignment.
