Why choose Réhabital for your osteopathy in Montreal?
Montreal has many osteopaths, but few combine the dual medical and osteopathic training of our founder Shahram Ghasemi, MD (Iran), DOMP, or the clinical environment of a complete multidisciplinary center in physiotherapy, massage therapy, naturopathy and aesthetic care. At Réhabital clinic, located in Côte Saint-Luc — 15 minutes from downtown Montreal via the Décarie expressway — every treatment starts with a rigorous 75-minute assessment: detailed intake, postural exam, orthopedic tests and global body palpation before any therapeutic intervention.
Our osteopaths are accredited with major private insurers (Sun Life, Manulife, Blue Cross, Beneva, Desjardins, iA Financial Group): an official receipt is provided at the end of each session for your claims. For patients followed in parallel by our physiotherapy or massage therapy teams, cross-disciplinary coordination speeds up recovery — for example, combining visceral osteopathy and naturopathy for digestive issues, or osteopathy and post-surgical physiotherapy for complete rehabilitation.
Unlike strictly structural approaches, osteopathy at Réhabital integrates every system: musculoskeletal, visceral, cranial and fascial. This global vision allows us to treat a wide range of conditions — low back pain, neck pain, sciatica, migraines, digestive disorders, postpartum pain, infant plagiocephaly — for a clientele ranging from newborns to seniors, including expectant mothers and competitive athletes.

Conditions treated in osteopathy in Montreal
Osteopathic techniques practiced in Montreal
Our approach at Réhabital is not limited to a single school. Shahram Ghasemi, MD (Iran), DOMP, and his team use a full spectrum of techniques validated by the major osteopathic schools in Europe and North America. The technique we choose always depends on the dysfunction identified during assessment, your age, your tolerance and your preferences. Here are the five main families we practice daily at our Cavendish Mall clinic.
Articular techniques (mobilizations and HVLA)
Gentle mobilizations and, when indicated, high-velocity low-amplitude (HVLA) manipulations — sometimes called 'cracking' — on the spine, pelvis, ribs and limbs. Very effective for acute mechanical blockages, torticollis, sciatica and acute low back pain. Every manipulation is preceded by safety testing and is never forced — a gentle alternative exists for each technique.
Muscle techniques and muscle energy (MET)
Drawn from Fred Mitchell's work, these techniques use your own muscle contractions against precise resistance to rebalance the myofascial chains. Ideal for patients who dislike rapid manipulations, pregnant women, seniors and athletes in recovery. Very effective for pelvic imbalances, shoulder dysfunctions and postural compensations.
Visceral osteopathy (Barral school)
Very gentle hand techniques applied to internal organs (liver, stomach, gallbladder, intestines, kidneys, uterus, bladder) to restore their natural mobility. Indicated for gastroesophageal reflux (GERD), bloating, chronic constipation, menstrual pain, post-surgical adhesions (C-section, appendectomy) and certain visceral-origin low back pains.
Cranial osteopathy (Sutherland school)
Very subtle pressure (equivalent to the weight of a coin) on the skull bones, sacrum and meningeal membranes to regulate the central and autonomic nervous systems. Particularly effective for tension-type headaches, migraines, sleep disorders, chronic anxiety, mechanical tinnitus and pediatric ENT issues.
Myofascial and functional techniques
Slow, sustained stretching of the fascia (connective tissue surrounding muscles and organs), inspired by the work of Rollin Becker and Andrew Still. Releases deep restrictions linked to old trauma, scars and chronic stress. Often combined with other approaches within the same session.
Pediatric and perinatal osteopathy
Specific adaptations for infants (colic, plagiocephaly, congenital torticollis, sleep disorders), children (school postural issues, enuresis, growing pains) and expectant mothers (low back pain, sciatica, rib pain, birth preparation, postpartum recovery, post-C-section follow-up).
Mini case studies
Profiles of Montreal patients we support
To give a concrete idea of the type of care we provide, here are four typical patient profiles we regularly see at Réhabital. They are anonymized but representative of weekly osteopathy consultations in Montreal.
Case 1 — 38-year-old professional, remote work downtown
Consulted for chronic neck pain with frontal headaches over 6 months. Assessment: upper-thoracic kyphosis, restricted right cervical rotation, trapezius and suboccipital tension. Plan: 4 sessions 2 weeks apart combining cervico-thoracic articular techniques, MET on the scalenes and cranial work. Outcome: headaches resolved after session 3, ergonomic recommendations for the home office.
Case 2 — 45-year-old marathoner, Montreal Marathon prep
Recurring right knee pain (IT band syndrome) starting around km 15. Assessment: right sacroiliac dysfunction, IT band tension, restricted ankle mobility. Plan: 3 osteopathy sessions plus 2 physiotherapy sessions for targeted exercises. Outcome: completed the race pain-free 6 weeks later.
Case 3 — 3-month-old infant, colic and plagiocephaly
Worried parents: end-of-day crying, flattening of the right occiput, head preference to the right. Assessment: right sternocleidomastoid tension, occipitomastoid cranial restriction. Plan: 3 very gentle sessions 3 weeks apart, positioning advice and simple home exercises. Outcome: cranial symmetry restored by 6 months, colic resolved.
Case 4 — 62-year-old woman, chronic low back pain post hip replacement
Followed in physiotherapy for 8 months after total right hip replacement, with residual low back pain. Assessment: pelvic imbalance, right psoas restriction, scar adhesions. Plan: 5 sessions combining scar myofascial work, MET on the psoas and iliac, visceral osteopathy. Outcome: pain reduced from 8/10 to 2/10 on the VAS scale, long walks without discomfort.
