Emma Letki
Osteopathic Manual Practitioner
Emma graduated from the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy and is a member of the Ontario Osteopathic Association (OOA), part of Osteopathy Canada (OSTCAN). Emma is currently working on her Animal Osteopathy certification.
Osteopathy is a manual therapy which uses anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics as its foundations. Osteopathic manual practitioners encourage the innate homeostatic mechanisms by removing any structural obstructions that will interfere with proper, healthy functioning of the body. Practitioners remove structural obstructions by working with the relationship between muscles, joints, ligaments, fascia, nerves, veins, and arteries. OMPs consider that all parts of the body work together to maintain health. Osteopathic care has been found to be of use to people with all types of health concerns, including musculoskeletal issues, spinal health, traumatic injury, digestive irregularity, sleep problems, reproductive issues, respiratory health, migraines (and the list goes on)
Emma balances somatic and biomechanical approaches when working with patients, believing that both the patient's lived experience and the practitioner's observations are equally important in treatment. She uses ease and gentle touch when approaching the body to appeal to the calming parasympathetic nervous system and to ensure that treatment is the least imposing as possible.
Emma also holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Dance from York University, a minor in Environmental Studies, and a certificate in Community Arts Practice. While there she studied anatomy, dance kinesiology, dance injury and prevention, as well as anti-oppressive community work. She discovered osteopathy while dealing with a chronic dance injury. Emma’s years as a dancer helped her build an embodied understanding of movement.
