  • As soon as the session was complete, my lower back problems were almost gone and completely gone within a few weeks of following Karls advice. Thanks!

  • The BEST! Since 2009, I’ve suffered from severe headaches that can last days. I’ve had many Gp visits & been given many different meds to try, physios, optometrist, chiropractors, an osteo but NOTHING seemed to work! Until I changed osteos (because Karl was much closer to home) and would you believe my luck! I started seeing him in 2019 I believe, and what do you know!!!! My migraines subsided tremedously in quantity from at least once a month to once every 6 months .... NOW? I don’t get migraines at all because over the years, he has taught me to listen to my body & TRUST the things I already know to AVOID a migraine attack. Eg, my pillow positions change almost every 4-6 months. I can be okay with a soft pillow for a season and suddenly a pinch is enough to prompt me to try either no pillow or ADD pillows.

Our process prioritizes you:

A guide into a session with Dr. Karl

  • our care begins with a detailed health history and understanding your main concern.

  • We assess your needs through an assessment- testing, soft tissue analysis, joint movement evaluation, and, when necessary, imaging referrals.

  • From structural to visceral osteopathy (with a focus on structural work), we apply soft tissue release, joint articulation, and—only with your consent—joint manipulation. Every step is explained and customized for your comfort.

  • Beyond immediate treatment, we provide education on posture, breathing techniques, self-care routines, and injury prevention, empowering you to maintain long-term health.

“Healing begins when we restore the body's balance-and teach patients to become their own strongest allies”.
