Carolyn Smith, B.HK, DOMP

Carolyn Smith began her journey in health care graduating with an Honours Bachelor degree in Human Kinetics from the University of Ottawa. She later went on to graduate from the National Academy of Osteopathy. During her time at the University of Ottawa, she had the opportunity to work as a student Athletic Therapist with the Varsity men’s basketball team which strengthened her passion for physical therapy.
Carolyn’s therapy style has a gentle, whole-body approach to targeting and treating pain or imbalances within the body. Carolyn is warm and welcoming to her patients and strives to make every session effective, leaving the patient feeling relaxed and comfortable.
Carolyn has experience working with office employees who typically have upper-back and neck pain, patients experiencing headaches, acute and chronic low back pain, issues with digestion, and sciatica to name a few.
Although the body has the ability to heal itself, osteopathy helps facilitate this healing. Addressing the main cause of the dysfunction will also prevent the problem from reoccurring. Carolyn’s goal is to help her patients enjoy a healthy, pain-free life!
During her spare time, Carolyn embraces the outdoors hiking, running, kayaking, golfing, or playing soccer. She also enjoys yoga and trampoline! Carolyn was a competitive figure skater and gymnast in her earlier years.
Carolyn is a member in good standing with The National Manual Osteopathic Society (NMOS).

My Services
Manual Osteopathy
Manual Osteopathy is a form of drug-free, non-invasive manual medicine that focuses on total body health by treating and strengthening the viscera (organs), cranial system, as well as the musculoskeletal framework. Its aim is to positively affect the body's nervous, circulatory and lymphatic systems.
Cranial Osteopathy
This is the study of anatomy and physiology of the cranium and its inter-relationship with the body as a whole.
It is a refined and subtle type of osteopathic treatment that uses very gentle manipulative pressure to encourage the release of stresses throughout the body, including the head.
Visceral Osteopathy
Visceral osteopathy is concerned with the manipulation of the organs and their relation to the body. Treatment of painful but common disorders including sport injuries, bloating, migraines and other headaches, bladder, bowel, and intestine problems, and other symptoms can be relieved with visceral osteopathy.
Viscera is the collective name for the organs present in the chest and abdomen. Visceral osteopathy seeks to release tensions from the tissues of these organs to allow them to function freely.
