We love sharing the science behind the success! Here's a look at how a session with Meagan Myislandmo changed the game for a 65-year-old client dealing with moderate chronic discomfort in his back, hips, shoulders, and wrists, as well as regulate elevated blood pressure.

​The Challenge: A life of old injuries had created significant compensations. Our postural assessment revealed a body working hard to stay upright: a forward left hip, an elevated right ilium, a high left shoulder, and significant restrictions in his wrist mobility (flexion, extension, supination, and deviation).

​The Treatment: We addressed these imbalances using a multi-faceted approach, including specific osteo-articulation adjustments, muscle energy techniques, and a special focus on the Vagus nerve to balance the C1/C2 region. Gentle fascial release, cervical traction, and cranial work helped the body move toward homeostasis.
​The power of osteopathy is in using hands for both detailed assessment and targeted treatment. We guide the body to heal itself—no prescriptions or surgeries required.

Today is the day we recognize as the anniversary of A. T. Still opening the American School of Osteopathy. There are some conflicting records, but it is generally agreed the school opened in the Fall of 1892. In his book Lengthening Shadows, A. G. Hildreth, a member of the first class, states, “On the morning of October 3, 1892, at ten o’clock, Dr. A. T. Still and Dr. William Smith began teaching the handful of men and women who were assembled there to study osteopathy.” (page 30)

🌿 Registered Manual Osteopathic Therapist proudly serving the .

After 10+ years as a Registered Massage Therapist in Alberta — with insurance-covered care and thousands of satisfied clients — I moved to BC and watched those same services be denied for my clients.

Despite maintaining my credentials, paying professional dues, and completing continuing education, I’m now told I’m “unqualified” unless I rejoin a regulated system that no longer aligns with my values.

This photo was taken in Newfoundland, where I flew — after being medically mandated to receive two injections just to travel — in an attempt to reinstate my RMT license. I passed the written exam, but was told I failed the hands-on portion, the very work I’ve been safely doing for over 14 years. Bound by a non-disclosure agreement, I’m not allowed to speak about the process. To try again, I’d need to sign another.

All told, I’ve invested over $60,000 into this profession — and now I’m being asked to give up my autonomy to remain part of it.

No thanks.

With Bill 36 looming in BC, and future mandates written right into legislation, I’ve chosen a different path: one rooted in integrity, experience, and medical freedom.

💚 I will not comply with future forced medical interventions.
💚 I will not trade safety for control.
💚 I will not participate in a system that demands silence in exchange for access.

So here I am — no longer chasing the broken. No longer compromising.
I serve this community proudly as a Manual Osteopathic Therapist, or as I like to call it: .

To those who believe in body autonomy, informed choice, and true health freedom — I’m with you.
