About Continuum
Continuum strives to help clients reach their maximal health through Osteopathic treatment. Osteopathy aims to realign the body through biomechanical and visceral manipulations. Additionally, practitioners use fascial and cranial-sacral techniques to incorporate all aspects of the body to treat dysfunction. This whole body, whole system approach is a fundamental base of Osteopathy. The purpose is to restore your body’s ability to heal by ensuring all systems are working as efficiently as possible. Osteopathic Manual Therapists (Dip. O.M.P) have received training in manual osteopathic practice. However, they are not medical doctors. Treatments involve only manual therapies.
To request an appointment with Sonia Sharma Adv RMT. Dip. O.M.P, please book online.

Osteopathy
Currently, Osteopathic manual therapy in Manitoba is an unregulated profession. Therefore, the use of the title does not communicate a consistent standard of training. This makes it important to choose an Osteopathic Manual Therapist who belongs to an association which requires a high standard of training and continuing education. At Continuum, our Osteopathic Manual Therapists are required to attend a 5-year in-person program which includes research, in-class lectures, and extensive hands-on supervised clinical practice.
Post-graduation, they are also required to complete a number of continuing education hours every year. Our Osteopathic Manual Therapists are members of both the Manitoba Association of Osteopathic Manual Therapists (MAOMT) and also affiliate members of the Ontario Association of Osteopathic Manual Practitioners (OAO).
