Osteopathy

Restore Balance Within the Body, Relieve Strain, and Unlock Your Body's Natural Healing Power with an Osteopathic Manual Therapist with 30 Years of Experience in Calgary & Canmore.


Stéphan Guindon

Thirty years ago, Stéphan Guindon began his journey in kinesiology, physiotherapy, and Osteopathic Manual Therapist, driven by a strong passion for understanding the human body.  After earning a degree in physical education and assisting at the McGill University Sports Medicine Clinic, he pursued physiotherapy, gaining extensive experience in sports injury treatment.

Furthering his studies, he completed a diploma in osteopathy, and later took advanced training in the Osteopathic Mechanical Link method, a holistic approach to treating the body as a whole. Since 2003, he has successfully run multidisciplinary clinics in Lachine, Dorval, and Calgary, providing expert care through a combination of physiotherapy, kinesiology and osteopathy.

With 30 years of expertise in osteopathy, I am proud to personally serve clients at my clinics in Calgary and Canmore.
