About Osteopathy First | Ernest Geid
With over 30+ years of highly skilled experience, Ernest Geid and Osteopathy First provide top-rated manual osteopathy and craniosacral therapy to those near Burlington, Oakville, Milton, Waterdown, and the surrounding area.
A gentle, non-invasive, yet powerful healthcare treatment, both osteopathy and craniosacral therapy can be used to soothe a wide range of physical and emotional concerns — including car accident recovery, workplace or sports injury, post-surgery healing, chronic pain conditions, migraines, stress, insomnia, pregnancy discomfort, and much more.
Rooted in the principles of anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics, this form of widely recommended alternative medicine emphasizes the delicate and integrated relationship between the body’s nervous system, muscles, nerves, circulation, fascia, and bones.
Since this treatment uses such a skilled light touch to release tension and imbalances in the body, appointments at Osteopathy First can be safely recommended for all ages — from prenatal and newborns to seniors — and is among the first approaches to be recommended at the first onset of pain or as preventative care.
Your care is in the best of hands...
What to Expect In Your First Session
Manual osteopathy and craniosacral therapy are often compared to registered massage therapy, but clients remain fully clothed.
During your first session, Ernest Geid takes your completed intake form, medical history, and any relevant range-of-motion assessments into full consideration before having you settle onto the treatment bed. From there, your only task is to melt into the room’s comfortable, relaxing environment.
Using what many osteopaths often call their “Listening Hands,” Ernest will continue to assess your condition to ensure safe treatment options and a personalized care plan. For manual osteopathy, this may include joint mobilization, soft tissue manipulation, and craniosacral techniques; for craniosacral therapy, this will focus more on the skull, spine, and sacrum with light touch to assess and modulate your craniosacral rhythm.
The best part about osteopathy is that appointments are preventative just as much as they are restorative when it comes to chronic pain and discomfort.
“Since osteopathy and craniosacral therapy consider the entire body rather than just isolating one single area for treatment, we can address underlying issues to help prevent future problems,” Ernest explains.
This means patients experience significant reductions in pain and discomfort, as well as a deep sense of relaxation followed by noticeable enhancement in their overall well-being and daily activities.
“This is comprehensive healing,” Ernest shares. “And afterward, I like to say: ‘welcome back to your life!’”

With a storied career spanning over 30 years in the medical field, Ernest Geid has been a beacon of care and knowledge for countless patients.
His wisdom, born from an extensive history of diverse experiences, illuminates his understanding of the dynamic interplay between physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. Ernest's approach to health care stems from his belief that every individual is a richly intertwined tapestry of life experiences deserving of holistic care, rather than mere symptomatic treatment.
Born in the proximity of the mesmerizing Great Temple of Abydos in Egypt, Ernest was shaped by a wealth of cultural and traditional knowledge. This region, steeped in historical and spiritual energy, has profoundly influenced his path.
Ernest's journey took him to the vibrant city of Cairo where he dedicated over 10 years to study medicine, specializing in Rheumatology. His professional path eventually took him beyond Egypt's borders to the modern metropolis of Dubai and further to various locations across the Gulf and Europe.
Not one to limit his knowledge to conventional medicine, Ernest ventured into the realm of Osteopathy, acquiring a diploma in Canada and a Doctor of Osteopathy degree from Spain. His thirst for knowledge also led him to study holistic nutrition, expanding his expertise in natural healing methods.
His time practicing Osteopathy in Canada became a transformative period for Ernest. Here, he uncovered the profound power of human touch and its pivotal role in reaching the root causes of pain. This led him down the path of Craniosacral Therapy, an approach that perfectly combined his medical expertise with his passion for holistic healing. This journey was solidified with degrees in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy and Pediatric CST, bolstering his capacity to provide comprehensive care.
Ernest's ventures weren't limited to the medical field. He delved into business and marketing, securing an MBA from Maastricht School of Management in the Netherlands. This diversified his skill set, enabling him to provide unique insights into personal development for his patients, thereby enriching their journey towards self-discovery and growth.
Today, Ernest's extensive background in both traditional and holistic medicine allows him to provide truly integrated care to his patients in Canada, specializing in Craniosacral Therapy.
