Amanda Westenberg M.OMSc
My journey into Osteopathic manual therapy began as a patient searching for answers after years of severe chronic pain. Finding lasting relief through an Osteopathic approach transformed my life and inspired me to help others achieve the same.
I graduated with my Master in Practice of Osteopathic Manipulative Sciences (M.OMSc) in July 2026 after completing a rigorous 4.5-year program with over 4,200 hours of study and 1,200 hours of supervised clinical work. As a professional member of OSTCAN (Osteopathy Canada), most extended health insurance plans cover treatments provided under my care.
I approach care through a classical lens focused on anatomy, physiology, an understanding of how physics affects the musculoskeletal system under gravitational load, and the mechanical balance throughout the body—looking beyond surface symptoms to identify the root cause of discomfort and support the body’s natural ability to heal.
I am excited to announce that I am now accepting new patients!
