Tia Makela

Prior to completing the Master in Practice Diploma of Osteopathic Manipulaive Sciences (M.OMSc) program at the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy, a principles-based osteopathy school providing a 48-month comprehensive academic and clinical based education, Tia Makela graduated from Lakehead University with an Honours Bachelor of Kinesiology (HBKin) degree.

As an Osteopathic Manual Practitioner and a proud member of the Ontario Osteopathic Association (OOA/OSTCAN), Tia strives to support her patients’ holistic wellness and quality of life through providing individualized, principles-based osteopathic treatment. This approach to care places emphasis on the inherent understanding that the body is not merely a collection of self-sufficient parts, but a dynamic unit of function with each structure (fascia, muscles, ligaments, bones, organs, nerves, arteries, veins, lymphatics, etc.) interacting and communicating with the next. By working with an understanding of why and how the structure and function relationships within the body are in place in addition to identifying when and where abnormal communication and restrictions within the body occur, osteopathic treatment seeks to address the root cause of dysfunction within the body and encourages the restoration of the body’s innate ability to self-heal and self-regulate. Through osteopathic treatment, Tia aims to ensure you and your body are feeling as optimistic and functional as possible.

Beyond her professional commitments, you can find Tia spending time with her family (partner, dog, and cat), adventuring out in nature, or teaching/taking a yoga class.
