I am excited to offer Classical Osteopathic treatment backed by the highest standards of education and clinical practice in Canada. I am dedicated to providing effective treatments, patient education, and facilitate my patients optimal health to empower them in achieving a higher quality of life. My dedication both academically and in my practice is a driving force in providing my patients with an unparalleled level of care. I can't wait for you to experience the difference Osteopathy can make!
Treatments are based on principles founded in anatomy, physiology and biomechanics to treat structure to affect function while considering the body as a dynamic unit of function.
Classical Osteopathy is its own science, philosophy, and treatment process founded by Dr. A.T. Still in 1874 - it's not just an "add-on" course to another modality.
Paige has the highest standards of education and clinical practice.
This includes a 4-year, full-time Osteopathic education at the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy and is in good standing with the Osteopathy Canada Association. She also completed her Bachelor of Kinesiology at the UofA.
Paige's extensive educational path was chosen to best help her patients - that is her purpose!
Now, she is still driven by her desire to learn and curiosity of all things science to stay up to date with the latest research and practices to best serve her patients.
Paige is one of few CAO trained, OSTCAN certified practitioners in the Northern Alberta region; it is worth experiencing Classical Osteopathy as a part of your healthcare journey.
In addition, Paige's background in Kinesiology adds to her well-rounded practice.
Osteopathy is an effective form of manual therapy which treats the patient as a dynamic unit of function including their fascia, muscles, bones/joints, nervous system, circulatory system, lymphatic system and organ systems. Using principles founded in anatomy, physiology and biomechanics, the Osteopathic Practitioner’s thorough process facilitates health through comprehensive assessment to accurately identify the root cause of dysfunction, and structural adjustments to provide an environment for restored function.
The 3 guiding principles behind Osteopathic practice, that I use when working with patients. These come from OSTCAN and are the foundation of the Osteopathic process.
This emphasizes that the body is not just a collection of separate parts, but rather a complex and interconnected system where everything is interrelated and works together.
The body has the ability to repair and restore itself when it is in a state of imbalance or injury. Osteopathy focuses on facilitating and supporting this natural healing process rather than solely relying on external interventions.
The body's structure, such as bones, muscles, ligaments, and organs, and its function, such as movement, circulation, and nervous system activity, are inherently connected and influence each other.
All OSTCAN members must complete 4200 hours of education, and a minimum of 1000 hours of supervised clinical practice and training. As a national council, OSTCAN ensures that patients are guaranteed a standard of practice regardless of the province in which they seek care.

Paige completed her Bachelor of Kinesiology with a Major in Physical Activity & Health at the UofA. The BKin degree provides a multidisciplinary approach to the study of human movement as it relates to exercise science, athletic performance, and long term health. She completed her professional practicum at the Edmonton Police Service in the Fitness & Active Lifestyle Unit.
