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!’”
