Osteopathy not an essential service?

Because Osteopathic Manual Therapy is not a health profession that is regulated by the government, it has been left out as an essential service.

If you have been negatively impacted by the closure of your Osteopathic services during lockdown, you can voice your concern to our provincial government. Help osteopathy to be recognized as an essential service by filling out this short survey put on by the Ontario Osteopathic Association. Every voice counts, thank you!

Instructions: On a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being strongly agree and 1 being strongly disagree, please rate the following statements:

"The function of the Osteopath is not so much to fight disease as to promote health and to put the body in a condition to defy or overcome disease."

–Jocelyn Proby D.O.

Jocelyn Proby was one the great figures in osteopathy. A man of brilliant intellect, he graduated from Magdalene College Oxford and then went to the University of Toronto as a history don. While in Canada he became interested in osteopathy. A move to Kirksville followed and he added to his already impressive list of qualifications with a D.O.

Throughout his career he worked quietly and untiringly to help establish osteopathy. In the 1930’s he was one of the founders of the G.C.R.O., in the 1940’s Vice Principal of the B.S.O., in the 1950’s, President of the O.A.G.B.,and founder member of the Institute of Applied Technique (now the Institute of Classical Osteopathy). In the 1960’s, 70’s and 80’s he continued to study, lecture, write and inspire all those osteopathic students who were fortunate enough to have contact with him.

In 1978 he returned from Eire to England where he continued to practice until past his 90th birthday. He died on the 30th December 1993 at the age of 90, and osteopathy had lost one of its great figures.

“One hopes that developments and changes of fashion are the results of more enlightenment, knowledge and skill, but one fears that often they are not – change is not necessarily the same as progress”
