Classical Osteopathy
Classical OsteopathyClassical Osteopathy is a wonderful option for people of all ages and abilities. Treatments consist of manual adjustments that are localized and specific and focused on relieving pressures and restrictions. The practice is based on an extensive understanding of anatomy and physiology and is anchored by four fundamental principles:
How does osteopathy work? Imagine tying a string around your finger. After only a short while, the string begins to affect nerve supply, blood supply and general circulation. If you left that string on for a long period of time, your finger would stop receiving the vital circulation it needs to thrive and the tissue would eventually break down and die.
Osteopathy is all about getting rid of the “strings” in your body. We look to balance restrictions and asymmetries so that every tissue, everywhere, has exactly what it needs to the healthiest it can be.
Initial assessments include a health history intake and a physical assessment, followed by treatment, and are usually about 50 minutes in length. Subsequent treatments are approximately 25 minutes in length. You are not required to undress for Osteopathic sessions, though it is recommended you wear comfortable, non-restrictive clothing, such as yoga pants/shorts and a tank top/t-shirt/sports bra.
Registered Massage Therapy
Registered Massage TherapyEveryone loves a great massage: it’s a safe and effective way to relieve stress and anxiety as well as manage many different medical conditions and injuries, including back and neck pain, headaches, constipation, and discomfort during pregnancy.
But it’s not always easy to find a great therapist.
Our Registered Massage Therapists have studied in some of the most intensive programs in the world, completing over 2200 hours of hands-on post-secondary education, and excel in many areas, including deep tissue massage, pregnancy massage, relaxation and stress management, and myo-fascial release. They continue to update their training through ongoing professional development workshops, courses and other training.
Beyond the top quality of our therapists, there’s a lot more that sets massage at Full Circle Health Network apart. Our tables are the most comfortable and solid tables in town (trust us, you won’t want to leave), our space is warm and inviting, and getting here is easy: we have fast online booking, extended hours, and ample free parking.
A few things to know, if you’ve never had a massage: all massage therapists have unique treatment styles and specialties, though most appointments will follow a similar structure. If at any time you’d like to adjust the pressure or have any questions about the treatment, please speak up – everyone’s body is unique.
Occupational Therapy
Occupational TherapyOccupational therapy is a wellness focused solution for people of all ages and abilities. Occupational Therapy is especially beneficial for individuals who are or have recently undergone a change in their physical abilities, such as with an injury or illness, or a change in their mental capacities such as with concussions, illnesses or emotionally stressful situations.
Occupational therapy sessions are primarily a talk focused treatment that works to address both mental and physical health. Your Occupational Therapist (OT) will work with you to take a holistic view of your life and determine what changes are needed so that you can do and excel at activities you love. From work related tasks to household errands to hobbies you just enjoy doing - an OT will help devise a plan to get you back to what you love doing and be there to guide you every step of the way.
What makes an OT different from other therapies is that there is a strong understanding of how the physical body works in different physical environments. OT's will give you concrete and tangible modifications you can do in your surrounding environment to make activities more adaptable to your needs. In addition, OT's are highly skilled in using emotional and mental strategies to help address your cognitive wellness. This is a key aspect of Occupational Therapy as your physical health often impacts your mental and emotional wellness. OT is the perfect marriage of mental and physical care for individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, stress and stress-induced illness, PTSD, pain management, and those undergoing major life transitions such as retirement, change in career, change in lifestyle (ie. starting university or moving to a new city), and parenthood.
*Our OT is available for offsite ergonomic assessments, home safety assessments, equipment recommendations as well as other assessments deemed necessary by medical and insurance professionals. We are happy to work with long-term disability insurance however, we do not work with WSIB or MVA insurance at this time.
Clinical Counselling
Clinical Counselling“You don’t have to be at your worst to reach out for help.”
Counselling, sometimes referred to as therapy or psychotherapy, is a collaborative process aimed at helping break the patterns that prevent individuals from making healthy decisions and living the life they want.
Counselling can help individuals experiencing a range of challenges, including stress, anxiety and depression, grief and loss, relationship conflicts, physical and sexual abuse, self-esteem concerns, anger management, parenting/co-parenting concerns, and separation and divorce.
The process is tailored to the issues you face and the results you wish to achieve. Together with your Counsellor, you will establish goals for your sessions and determine the steps you can take to make necessary changes. Your Counsellor will be someone who listens attentively, gives you appropriate feedback, supports you and, above all, empowers you to change your tomorrow.
*Counselling services are often covered by private insurance companies, or through extended health care benefits and health care spending accounts. Please check with your insurance or benefit provider to determine eligibility. Some of our practitioners are under the supervision by a Registered Psychologist - please inquire for further details.

RMT Clients
Because Massage Therapy falls under the Regulated Health Care Practitioner’s Act of Ontario, it is considered a health care service in Ontario. For this reason, many people who have extended health care coverage are able to have a portion or even ALL of the cost of their massage therapy treatment covered by insurance. Some plans, however, may require that you have a doctor’s note before any claims can be submitted, so please check with your provider to see what your coverage entails: every plan is different. Even if you do not have massage therapy covered under your benefits, you may be able to claim RMT expenses on your taxes, since it is recognized as a health care expense.
