Elizabeth Roper, D.O. (MP) R.M.T
Osteopath, Registered Massage Therapist


Liz graduated in 2004 with honors from Northumberland College for Massage Therapy and was the recipient of the award for Clinical Excellence and Professionalism. While practicing massage therapy, she was also studying at the Canadian College of Osteopathy, and used an osteopathic approach in her busy massage practice.
 
Liz graduated in 2014 from the College D’Etudes Osteopathique after successfully defending her thesis. Her training included: cranial osteopathy, myofascial techniques, muscle energy techniques, and visceral manipulation.
 
Osteopathy is a form of highly specialized manual therapy.  Through careful assessment, it treats restrictions in the normal motion of fluids and tissues in the body. 
 
Founded by Dr. Andrew Taylor Still in 1874, osteopathy is based on removing the causes of symptoms which can be far removed from the symptom in itself.   Through studying the interconnectedness of the human form, a practitioner approaches the whole person with a highly trained sense of touch and other tests to identify and treat restrictions and imbalances in the body. By removing these restrictions the body's innate self-healing ability resumes.
 
Liz joined Therapeutic Approach Health Centre in 2005 where she enjoys a very busy and successful practice.  We are fortunate to have her as part of the Ocean Heart team.
