Joanne Guenther, Manual Osteopath

About Joanne

Joanne recently relocated to the Nanaimo area from Alberta. She is enjoying her new tiny home and is looking forward to exploring what the location has to offer.

Joanne has an adventurous spirit and an amazing gift for treating clients in pain and discomfort. Her skills as a manual osteopath can be summed up in one word: "relief". That is what clients will experience after a treatment from her.

 As a manual osteopath, Joanne deals with conditions such as:

• back pain
• headaches
• whiplash
• long term pain
• heartburn
• IBS
• Crohn's
• bladder issues
• depression/anxiety
• arthritis

Manual Osteopathy is a whole body approach to healing and treatment using a combination of techniques that harmonize the body's systems:

• Structural (bones & joints)
• Soft Tissue (muscles & fascia)
• Nervous (craniosacral)
• Organs (viscera)

Joanne has specialized in Visceral Manipulation which is a highly honed skill set for the treatment of the body's organs. She is also committed to sharing her knowledge with others as the Visceral Manipulation instructor at the National Manual Osteopathic College in Alberta.

Joanne doesn't just focus on one part of the body, she looks at all aspects and creates a custom treatment plan for each client to effectively address their concerns and help them get back to living their best life.

When Joanne isn't helping her clients or teaching the next generation of manual osteopaths, she enjoys travelling, playing the ukulele, and making new friends.
