Michelle Petrescu

OSTEOPATHIC MANUAL PRACTITIONER

Meet Michelle, a dedicated and compassionate Osteopathic Manual Practitioner committed to restoring harmony to the body and promoting holistic well-being.

Michelle is a graduate from the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy (CAO) in Hamilton, with a Masters of Osteopathic Manipulative Sciences (M.OMSc).

Prior to studying Classical Osteopathy, she graduated from Wilfrid Laurier University with Honours BSc Health Science. During her time at Laurier, she developed a passion for human anatomy, physiology and the improvement in human health and well-being. Osteopathy has allowed her to continue this journey and focus on a holistic, hands-on approach in healthcare.

The CAO has a principles-based osteopathic education program. This intensive four-year program included in-depth academic study of functional anatomy, physiology, osteopathic principles and techniques, with 4200+ hours of clinical, hands-on practice.

As an Osteopathic Manual Practitioner, she is dedicated to enhancing her patient's well-being, optimizing their mobility, and promoting increased longevity and vitality by improving the interrelationship between the structure and function of the body while addressing the root causes of health issues, not just the symptoms. Michelle brings a personalized approach to each session, tailoring treatments to meet the unique needs of every individual.

“We look at the body in health as meaning perfection and harmony, not in one part, but in the whole.”

- Dr. Andrew Taylor Still
