Thuja Wellness specialises in osteopathy, which is one of the reasons we chose them. But it’s mainly because of the results you get from their healing methods.

From what we’ve seen, they know how to help patients live their best lives. They stick to customised and comprehensive treatment plans, ensuring they can address injuries properly.

They work on a lot of issues, such as sports-related, work-related, and fertility-related. It was incredible to see how many things they treat, including a focus on post-partum recovery, because giving birth takes a toll on the body.

Their calm and informative approach won us over, too. When we spoke with some of their patients, we learned that their osteopath showed genuine care and was very respectful.

It’s tough to book a service, though. There are limited slots per week, which is unfortunate, but it means they’re booked!

On the upside, their rates are worth highlighting. A 45-minute initial consultation and treatment only costs $115—pretty affordable!

Caring, knowledgeable, and effective

“Ila was caring, knowledgeable, and effective. This was my first session and I will continue in her care. I can see a difference already. She has the ability to listen and observe and then do what needs to be done in a gentle, respectful manner. I am grateful for her skill and expertise.”

Cares about her patients

“If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! I suffered from horrible sciatica pain on and off for over a year. I spent a fortune on physiotherapists and acupuncturists before I found Ila @ Thuja, and within a few treatments, my debilitating pain subsided. I am now back to dancing and doing what I love. Ila really cares her patients and is a miracle worker. I have referred many friends to her and she’s helped them too. I cannot recommend Ila Casselman and Thuja Wellness highly enough. Thanks to Ila, I have my life back.”

We love how accessible Yaletown Wellness Center is. They have two locations, on Hamilton Street and Mainland Street, that are open daily and offer free parking!

The main reason we chose them is because their osteopathic manual therapy treats various issues related to sports and work. According to our surveys, their treatment plans actually worked!

Their patients noticed a drastic change in the pain they felt. Let’s not forget how approachable their osteopath was, which made them feel more at ease.

Plus, we appreciate their availability. It’s easy to find an appointment slot, and there’s really no waiting list needed.

However, there were instances when patients had trouble finding their appointments despite already booking one. It wasn’t a one-off, so we’re going to have to slash some points for this.

Price-wise, they’re not the most affordable. A 50-minute session costs $165, which a bit up there but understandable due to the service you get.

Changed my pain level drastically

“I can’t recommend Adam highly enough! Osteopathy sessions with him has changed my pain level drastically. After every session I feel like my entire body is reset. I receive outstanding results. The clinic staff are all welcoming & professional and all appointments happen on the dot.”

Comfortable and clean clinic

“I had my first osteopathy session with Dr. Adam, and it felt like being reborn! The clinic is not only clean and beautiful but also cozy, neat, and comfortable. The front desk staff are so kind. Still there are much more sessions to attend, I will definitely return without hesitation!💓💓💓”

This multidisciplinary clinic in North Vancouver offers a lot of holistic services, making them super accessible to many families experiencing musculoskeletal problems.

Another thing that makes them accessible? Their client list is vast. These guys are qualified to treat adults, children, and babies, which speaks volumes about their expertise and knowledge.

Based on our observations, they know how to treat babies who don’t know what’s going on! Their osteopaths are patient, gentle, and skilled, considering they’ve helped reduce the pain levels of their patients.

As for the prices, they’re a tad on the higher side, even for follow-ups, which usually cost less. The 50-minute initial session and follow-up cost $160, which isn’t cheap.

Sadly, they also have limited appointment days in a week. They compensate by offering a 15-minute free consultation for osteopathy. We appreciate that they provide a way for you to ask all your questions and see if they’re the best fit for you.

My osteopath is changing my life

Absolutely phenomenal

“I have been seeing both Michal (for Osteopathy services) and Dada (for massage therapy services) for my lower back pain and its rehabilitation. I have been to many, many professionals in these areas due to my lower back pain over the years. However, these two, Michal and Dada, are absolutely phenomenal and I can’t recommend them highly enough.”

One of our picks is Vancity Osteopathy because of their expertise. Frankly, it’s not hard to see why they’re knowledgeable and experienced.

Let’s start with the wide variety of issues they help with, ranging from back pain to terminal illnesses. Their holistic approach can treat various kinds of body pain, as well as provide some comfort.

It’s worth noting that they treat all ages! They cater to adults, children, babies, and the elderly.

From what we’ve seen, their osteopaths know how to correctly approach every client. They showed empathy, kindness, and gentleness, which made their patients feel comfortable in the clinic.

As for the prices, we were pleasantly surprised at how competitive they were. An adult session costs $145, while follow-ups are $125.

They’d be perfect if it weren’t for the tricky parking situation at their location. Other than that, they’re solid and still accessible because it won’t take a week before you get an appointment!

Made a huge difference with my long-term issues

“Melisa has been so helpful in treating my chronic muscle pain and headaches, and osteopathy has made such a huge difference with some long-term issues I’d had. I really appreciate Melisa’s professionalism and kindness!”

Brings a calm, neutral, and harmonious energy

“I feel fully supported physically and mentally in the sessions with Martina. Her presence as an osteopath manual practitioner brings calm, neural, and harmonious energy. I’m glad I always can find delight and the belief of a more balanced life by the end of treatments with her. I like having her to help with my chronic craniospinal misalignment.”

It’s awesome when clinics are just so helpful, which is exactly why we love Ananta Wellness & Osteopathy, conveniently located in South Granville. They work with people of all ages, making them a solid choice for every Vancouverite.

Additionally, they specialise in a variety of areas, such as women’s health, cranio-sacral therapy, and pain from sport and work-related issues. They’re like a one-stop shop for body aches and discomfort, even offering a free 10-minute consultation!

They’re experienced, too, having a good number of osteopathic practitioners on the team, although not all are accepting new patients. But that also means you can find an appointment slot without issue, whether you’re a new or returning patient.

Now, while their rates are within the usual in Vancouver, which is $160 per session, we found that other clinics in the area charge less. Nevertheless, you get what you pay for since most patients have seen positive results after a couple of sessions.

Efficient, kind, and listens to you

“Julien Javelaud is an amazing osteopath! He was incredibly caring and took the time to understand my pain. After just a session, I feel so much better and like a new person. He’s efficient, kind, and really listens to make you feel comfortable. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone they can trust for osteopathy.”

Michael Lhotte, Google Review

Compassionate and knowledgeable.

“After I was rear ended in June, I was looking for a new osteopath as mine moved out of the country. I have been very pleased with my experience at Ananta. Anouk was compassionate and knowledgable, and I am delighted to have found someone with a similar style and approach. I’m looking forward to continuing care here.”
