Osteopathy in Montreal for Adults and Families
Osteopathic care adapted to adults, pregnant women, new mothers, babies, and children.
Osteopathy is a complementary hands-on approach focused on mobility, tension, and whole-body comfort. At Saulestice, consultations are adapted to adults, pregnant women, new mothers, babies, children, and people seeking support during a fertility journey. Each session is personalized according to your situation, health history, discomfort, and goals.
What is osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a hands-on approach that assesses how different areas of the body move and interact.
During a consultation, the osteopath considers your reason for visiting, health, lifestyle, and goals. The assessment may focus on the mobility of your joints, muscles, and tissues, as well as tension or restrictions that may be contributing to your discomfort.
Depending on your needs, the osteopath may use non-manipulative joint mobilizations, soft-tissue techniques, and other hands-on approaches adapted to your comfort.
Osteopathy is a complementary approach. It does not replace a medical assessment, diagnosis, or treatment recommended by a healthcare professional.

FAQ
Can I see an osteopath during pregnancy?
Yes. The techniques and positions used are adapted to pregnancy and each person’s comfort. Osteopathy remains complementary to the care provided by your physician, midwife, or healthcare team.
Is a medical referral required to see an osteopath?
A medical referral is generally not required to book an osteopathy appointment. However, the osteopath may recommend consulting a physician or another healthcare professional when your symptoms require further assessment.
What happens during a first appointment?
Your first appointment includes a discussion about your health and reason for visiting, followed by a mobility assessment and an adapted hands-on approach. The osteopath explains the proposed techniques and answers your questions throughout the session.
At what age can a baby see an osteopath?
A baby can be seen from the first few weeks of life, depending on their needs and health. The techniques used with newborns are very gentle and adapted to their age.
Can osteopathy help with breastfeeding difficulties?
The osteopath can assess the mobility of your baby’s neck, jaw, and body. However, difficulties with latching, breastfeeding pain, milk production, and concerns about your baby’s growth should be assessed by a lactation consultant or healthcare professional.
Can I see an osteopath after a C-section?
Yes, depending on your recovery and health. The osteopath adapts the session to your comfort and does not work directly on an area that has not healed sufficiently. If you experience significant pain, redness, fever, or complications, a medical assessment is necessary.
