Kelly Funchion
Manual Osteopathic Therapist
Kelly has been working in physical rehabilitation for over 16 years. First as a Kinesiologist/Exercise Therapist at a physiotherapy clinic, and over the last 5 years as a Manual Osteopathic Therapist. Looking for a more hands on and full body approach to rehabilitation and health, she found and fell in love with Osteopathy. It allows her to look for the mechanical WHY to the problem rather than treating the symptom or effect. She went back to school in 2013 to the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy in Hamilton. She earned my Masters in Practice of Osteopathic Manipulative Science in 2017, to add on my Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from the University of Waterloo. When Kelly isn’t helping clients find better health through improved mobility, you can find her on the volleyball court, hiking or biking, or any activity outdoors.
