Common reasons
Back and neck pain, tight shoulders, headaches, stiffness after an awkward movement or long hours at a desk. The most frequent reasons for coming in.
I am an osteopathy intern and I practise at the Hakini clinic on Wellington Street, in Verdun. Back and neck pain, everyday tension, or pain that has been there for years.

I use refined manual techniques, adapted to the pace and comfort of each person.
I tell you what I am going to do, and why, before I do it. You can stop me at any point.
I listen carefully to the tissues, to support the body’s natural balance.
Osteopathy is a manual approach that seeks to restore the body’s mobility and balance. Through gentle techniques, it supports the body’s own capacity to regain comfort. It makes no medical diagnosis and does not replace your usual care: it is added to it.
Back and neck pain, tight shoulders, headaches, stiffness after an awkward movement or long hours at a desk. The most frequent reasons for coming in.
Pain that lasts, osteoarthritis, recurring migraines, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, digestive discomfort. Support over the long run, alongside your care team.
Shallow breathing, tight shoulders and jaw, a stiff neck. I work on that tension, alongside psychological or medical care.
A consultation lasts about an hour. Here is how it goes, from the first conversation to what you take home.
Your history, your pain, what you have already tried, your tests and current treatments. It is the densest part of the visit, the part that decides where I will work.
I test mobility and palpate, to see how regions of the body answer one another. Part of that examination is also there to check that manual work is indicated for you and that nothing contraindicates it. If it is not, I say so and point you elsewhere.
I favour the least demanding techniques among those that can do the work, and I adjust to the problem. For people who are very sensitive, contact stays light.
I leave you a few concrete pointers for the week, and we talk about whether follow-up is worth it.
I am an osteopathy intern, trained at the Institut d’enseignement de l’ostéopathie du Québec and a RITMA member. I come from the arts, philosophy and mathematics, and I practise a gentle, respectful osteopathy.
I am a RITMA member, number 11364, and I issue receipts. My current title is osteopathy intern, and not every insurer reimburses that status. Check with yours before your first visit.
I practise at the Hakini clinic, 4255 Wellington Street, a short walk from De l’Église metro station. Booking is online, evenings included.
