Durham Osteopathy

Expérience fantastique: I’ve been suffering from a sore hip after a bad fall months ago. My masseuse suggested that I see an osteopath & had heard good things about this location. I’ve been seeing Brooke for over a month now, and I’ve noticed a great deal of improvement. I’m so glad that I found my way to Durham Osteopath.

Expérience fantastique: Maggie is very professional! She makes you feel so great after the treatment. I strongly recommend her!

Expérience fantastique: Brooke is an AMAZING young Lady and has made a huge differnce in my life by managing my pain!

Expérience fantastique: I have seen both Maggie and Brooke for the last few years and both are excellent at what they do!! They have enhanced my quality of life through their treatments. I would highly recommend this practice to my friends and family!

Expérience fantastique: Brooke is the bomb dot com. Highly recommend her! Professional, kind, and very personable. Book with Brooke.

Expérience fantastique: Brooke is amazing! She is so kind and gentle and has helped my migraines immensely! I highly recommend Durham Osteopathy! If you do t think you have coverage….double check! I was surprised to find out my benefits gave me the same amount for Osteopathy as they did for chiropractic care.

Expérience fantastique: Brooke knows how to find the right area to work on right away and she very passionate in doing her job and wants the well being for her patients.

Expérience fantastique: I've been seeing Brooke for osteopathic treatment, and I can't recommend her enough. She's incredibly professional and takes the time to really listen and understand what's going on. Brooke has a welcoming and comfortable office, and I always leave feeling better than when I arrived. If you're looking for an excellent osteopath, I highly recommend booking with Brooke!

Expérience fantastique: Highly recommend Brooke Telfer at Durham Osteopathy. She is very knowledgeable and her treatment is thorough and effective. So glad I was introduced to osteopath and Brooke makes you feel comfortable, relaxed and rejuvenated after her treatments.

Expérience fantastique: Durham Osteopathy is amazing and both Maggie and Brooke are talented and gifted Osteopath’s. They listen, assess and treat in a professional and caring manner and I always leave feeling better informed and adjusted. I would recommend Durham Osteopathy to anyone young or old - it is a wonderful practice with many benefits and not invasive or aggressive.

Expérience fantastique: I experienced significant pain due to a torn hamstring, which eventually extended into my back muscles, causing further discomfort. I booked an appointment with Brooke and was very impressed with my first experience with an Osteopath. She was very knowledgeable and professional. After just a few sessions, the issues were effectively resolved. I am now pain-free and have returned to my regular workout routine without any complications.

Expérience fantastique: I have been seeing Maggie for several years and she is one of the most kind, thorough, and supportive healthcare providers I have seen. She listens to my concerns and explains things when I have questions.

Expérience fantastique: I found Durham Osteopathy about a year ago. Since then, and through regular visits, I've seen great improvement in how my body feels in general. The booking experience is great as it can be done at their website or by phone. I always see Brooke Telfer. She's a very nice person who definitely know what she's doing and is also super respectful and very nice to talk with. I highly recommend this establishment!

Expérience fantastique: I have seen Maggie for about a year; and have seen an incredible difference in my body and how it moves. Maggie is truly gifted with her ability to heal her patients and find area's to improve mobility and overall health. Any discomfort I have ever had has been fixed by her in a single appointment or in a couple of sessions. I have always left her appointments feeling immensely better than when I came in. Not only is she talented in her practice, she is also a wonderful woman who really cares about her work and her clients. I found Maggie from google and by reading these reviews. I hope this review helps you in booking Maggie as it did me as it really changed my life. I've never felt better!

Expérience fantastique: My experience with Maggie Van Luven has been transformative. Not knowing anything about the practice of Osteopathy, I am delighted with the results I have seen over the past 3 years. I would recommend Maggie to anyone interested in pursuing mobility without the pain of aging.

Expérience fantastique: I was so tired of going to chiropractors and physios where they would just point out problems (ie pelvis stuck or tilted) and not really do anything about it or tell me why…just do a 5 min adjustment and send me on my way. Maggie is truly incredible, she understands how the body is connected and she works on overall posture and alignment throughout. She released so much tension in my neck and i am so grateful that i found her! My alignment and posture is so much better after seeing her! If you have body aches and pains, I can’t recommend her enough. UPDATE: I am pregnant with my second baby, and I’ve been seeing Maggie throughout and it has made a world of difference with my pelvic pain. I had terrible SPD pain with my first pregnancy, and it’s almost non existent now! She’s made such a big difference with pregnancy aches and pains, I would highly recommend over a chiropractor.

Expérience fantastique: I have been going to see Maggie for well over a year now, at times once a week but now Im down to once a month. The realignment I have experienced in my neck, shoulders and spine has been amazing! Great work Maggie!

Expérience fantastique: I am so grateful I found Maggie. She is truly a gifted osteopath. I had a pain in my side for 7 months and the doctors couldn’t figure it out or fix it. After three months of working with Maggie, the pain is gone. What a relief! I will keep seeing her for check ups now to make sure I stay aligned. It’s so much more important than we realize. Thank you Maggie!

Expérience fantastique: Ive been seeing Maggie for over a year now and she is truly gifted in her profession. I've had issues with my neck for many years and always leave feeling great. She's worked on my body aligment and any ailments that come up. One time I entered with a headache and it was gone by the end of the appointment. She's fabulous and has a true passion for what she does! Appointments are always on time, and she a true gem of a person. I would highly recommend Durham Osteopathy to anyone in need!

Expérience fantastique: Maggie is very kind and warm. My first experience here was excellent. She explained every detail of the procedure and clinic very well. I would highly recommend her services.

Expérience fantastique: I’ve had a wonderful experience with Maggie and Brooke. They take the time to walk you through each step, focus on your specific concerns, and treat the whole body so it’s aligned - not just the obvious trouble spots. Thanks to their work, I’ve regained movement in my shoulders and feel noticeably better overall. Appointments run on time, and the office has a warm, professional atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Expérience fantastique: I have had non stop / sometimes tearful mini melt downs because of the pain in my lower back/hips/SI joints.. I can’t even tell you when the pain started, as it’s been many YEARS. I got to the point where I thought I was going to live with it forever.. I tried acupuncture, physio, chiro, massage, Dr. prescribed medication and well a temporary relief happened, it was never long term and the pain would be back.. I was about to ask my dr to give me a referral to a back/hip/spine doctor but then my benefits app had Osteopathy and I thought why not - well I’m so glad I did!! I’ve had 2 sessions with Brooke so far and she by far has blown me away!! Not only does she explain what Osteopathy is about, and what it involves, but also explains how the body is all connected and where my pain is really coming from.. My first session was a general overview where she analyzed my whole body and did the first treatment.. let me tell you, the little movements she did had me feeling like I did a killer workout for 2 days after BUT the pain was actually relieved!! My second treatment was even better - turns out my pain is actually coming from my upper back area.. and again after my second treatment the “workout” pain was less and my actual pain has been SO MUCH BETTER!! I literally can’t believe I’m typing/saying it! Give Osteopathy / Brooke a try and I promise you won’t regret it!! I can’t wait for my next treatment(s)!! Thanks so much Brooke!!

Expérience fantastique: I was introduced to Maggie by my daughter who had a back problem and was being treated by Maggie. I decided to make an appointment with Maggie to see if she could help me with my posture. I have been seeing Maggie for a few weeks now and I am delighted to see the great improvement in my posture. She also addresses other issues that I present to her during my visits. She is very professional in her approach and dedicated to her craft. She is also a very humble and gentle person to interact with and always has a smile on her face. I would recommend Maggie to anyone who needs the services of a dedicated osteopath.

Expérience fantastique: Brooke for me, has been a lifesaver! Without sounding dramatic, she has changed the way my body feels daily in just a few visits. A knee injury in 2017 which never fully recovered left me with a limp, unable to fully extend my knee and the limited ROM eventually led to hip pain, lower back pain, whole body cracking and a feeling like my body was out of alignment. Not wanting to do a total knee replacement in my 40’s my Dr said this was my last “conservative” option. 5 visits in, I walk better, my hips don’t pop every time I move and my knee pain is virtually non existent. Highly, highly recommend Brooke!

Expérience fantastique: I came to Durham Osteopathy as a result of a Google search. I'm so glad I found them. I have been working with Maggie for that last few weeks and the issue I originally wanted treatment for is Gone and I've had a few other issues come up during that time that Maggie has been able to fix for me. Osteopathy is the most amazing, effective form of treatment I have experienced. I highly recommend this office.

Expérience fantastique: I was told Maggie is the real deal by the staff of a health food store, was having pain in my hip due to an injury in the summer. Maggie is legit the real deal. She is so knowledgeable and educates you so you understand how Osteo works. She also supported me in relation to another separate health reoccurring issue in a way hospitals and specialists have not been able to. Today is only my second treatment with her and I felt a drastic difference in my pain and alignment. Highly recommend, you will be delighted with the results and Maggie is not only kind, knowledgeable, and an expert in the body she is a beautiful presence, patient, caring, trusting and compassionate. You are in very good hands. Thank you for your support Maggie. So happy I trusted the call in being referred to you

Expérience fantastique: The ownership over an incredible breadth of knowledge of the machines we live our day to day lives in, the thoroughness in intake/health history, assessment and observation, knowing what questions to ask, attentive listening and ultimately the precision in application that these practitioners hold and deliver cannot be understated. And yes, other reviews that speak to the pleasant nature in personality of practitioners at Durham Osteopathy are entirely true. I initially met Maggie a couple of years ago on a whim seeking general improvements to overall wellness, and out of curiosity having no idea what osteopathy even was. Ironically and as fate would have it, a couple of weeks later ended up with a substantial lower back injury that left me unable to even put my shoes on without great effort and pain. After one appointment I was able to do so again and after a series the low back injury resolved. Fast forward about a year and a half and a slip down a set of stairs lead to some sort of (from my perspective/description) knee/hamstring region injury. Tried a different manual therapy elsewhere and left with more damage whereby I was unable to sit for more than about 5 minutes before a shooting pain would show up in my glute followed by numbness if I didn’t stand up/move around. I booked an appointment with Maggie and soon after had noticeably regained range of motion, felt substantially less stress/strain in the back of my leg and the awful shooting glute pain was gone. After a series of treatments it was as though the slip never even happened. Recently, I experienced a couple of appointments with Brooke. Her approach is gentle, confident, technical and, no surprise, effective. I habitually carry tension through my neck/shoulders/upper traps. Unsurprisingly, this can sometimes contribute to headaches and feeling “puffiness” in my head and neck. In my opinion, the most beautiful thing about osteopathy is how manual practitioners are able to hear/take an identified concern (such as the one above) and paint a clearer picture of what may be contributing to it elsewhere in the body, creating what I assume to be a customized treatment. Brooke did exactly that. Happy to report headache relief and both improved range of motion/“freer” movement in areas noted above and reduced “puffiness”. I think the greatest affirmation is when others around you (friends/family/coworkers) point out the difference without knowing that you’ve received treatment. As a bonus? I hadn’t even noticed tension in my back near the base of my ribs but I assume Brooke saw it and wow what an improvement. Easily the longest and most personal review I’ve given. Aside from the specific examples above, I have also received osteopathic care from Durham Osteopathy as a support post-surgery and know that it contributed to the success/rate of healing perceived by both myself and doctors. All to say, if you feel like you’ve tried “everything” to address concerns regarding your body’s structure, how it moves and/or functions with no lasting shifts or improvements, I strongly recommend the beautiful work of both Maggie and Brooke.

Expérience fantastique: After waiting for the pain to subside for more than a week, I finally picked up the phone to get some help. THRILLED that Brooke agreed to stay just a little bit later to meet me - a new client - after her hours were done for the day - on a Friday no less! Significant improvement after the first treatment, and it just gets better and better. Most of all, the treatment is gentle and effective. Brooke is excellent at her work, attentive, and is the very essence of 'supportive' in every way. We've started bringing other family members too, and soon we'll all be regulars I'm sure! Thank you Brooke!

Expérience fantastique: Maggie Van Luven, where have you been all my life?! I’ve spent years going to other alternative health care professionals, and have never felt as good as I do after a treatment with Maggie. She effectively treats any physical conditions, and as a bonus, after every appointment I feel like all stress has melted away! She is professional, knowledgeable (& shares her knowledge), kind, and a pleasure to know. If I want to chat, during my session, she will chat, and if I feel like being quiet & focusing on the treatment, she will accommodate that as well. It’s never awkward, rather always wonderful. I look forward to each appointment for all the above reasons. As well, Maggie has a way of letting each person know they are special, and in the hands of someone who truly cares.

Expérience fantastique: I started seeing Maggie for treatment just over a month ago for some nagging low back and hip pain and issues. After 3 treatments with Maggie, I went to my regular massage therapist. Without telling my massage therapist that I started osteopathy, my massage therapist commented after my treatment that my body was, "different than it used to be", that where I was usually all mucked up and tense in my upper back, was no longer. Amazing! This is a testament that Maggie's osteopathic treatments are already making a positive difference in my body. I look forward to seeing where this continued support and treatment takes me. Maggie is lovely, as is her office setting. Definitely recommend!

Expérience fantastique: Maggie’s treatments have had a huge impact on me. She is very detail oriented and thorough. I truly appreciate the work she’s put into making changes in my posture, my pain and my general well being. Plus, she’s such a delight to be around. I always look forward to my appointments. Highly recommend Maggie at Durham Osteopathy!

Expérience fantastique: I started seeing Maggie 2 months after a bulging disc injury. My recovery had been very up and down and I decided I needed something more than chiropractic care and acupuncture. After 3 weeks of seeing Maggie, I had some major improvements. The nerve pain went away completely and I’m able to walk without limping or dragging my leg (it was affected by the pinched nerve). She is incredibly kind, she listens, and my body feels open and fluid after each treatment.

Expérience fantastique: Maggie is absolutely fantastic Totally recommend

Expérience fantastique: Maggie is amazing! I started going to her due to a repetitive movement injury, and was amazed that my very first appointment she was able to determine the underlying cause of a seperate life long issue. No other practitioner i.e chiro, massage etc has ever figured out the root cause of the issue, they would just note it and move on. I have made massive improvements with this lifelong issue thanks to Maggie. She is so kind, and her office is very comfortable, clean and relaxing. She never fails to amaze me when she does her visual assessment with the small details she picks up on. I always look forward to my appointments.

Expérience fantastique: Maggie is a wonderful healing practitioner. The treatments have improved my lifelong posture issue (by teaching me a simple daily effective 'be your own sunflower' position), reduced and eliminated my back and knee pain, and boosted my mood as a bonus. Highly recommend!

Expérience fantastique: Maggie is wonderful! I have experienced great improvements in a short period of time. Happy to have such a wonderful resource on my wellness journey.

Expérience fantastique: I’ve tried physiotherapy, massage and chiropractic treatments for years with minimal success. I’ve seen huge improvements with Maggie’s osteopathy treatments. Thank you, Maggie!

Expérience fantastique: I have had 2 sessions with Maggie. Previously, I have been working with a chiropractor, a physiotherapist, and a massage therapist for 3 years to deal with an issue with my low back, hip flexors etc. There have periods of progress but despite being fairly compliant with exercise suggested by therapists, I have made only slight progress. After my first visit with Maggie, I could hardly believe the improvement was for real. I have hope that improvement will continue. Maggie coaches me as to corrections to my habits. I appreciate that tremendously. She answers my questions. She encourages me. I am a believer!

Expérience fantastique: Maggie is an outstanding osteopath . After just three sessions with her, I noticed significant improvements in my condition, which I never achieved after multiple physiotherapy sessions. Maggie takes the time to fully understand your pain and addresses it in a personalized manner. Her knowledge and expertise are truly remarkable, and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking osteopathy treatment.

Expérience fantastique: I highly recommend Maggie. She is thorough, personable, professional, genuine, and good at her job. After just one session, I was able to lay down without crying from being in excruciating pain. Her online booking platform is also very user friendly.

Expérience fantastique: She expresses a genuine desire to help her patients achieve better health.

Expérience fantastique: I liked their website. It was most informative and showed the history of Osteopathy and the amount of schooling and years of study that went into becoming an Osteopath.. For years I went to a chiropractor, but the adjustments I receive at Durham Osteopathy are by far superior. Very pleased with progress I am making . Maggie VanLuven is great and I would strongly recomend her and her techniques.

Expérience fantastique: Maggie is a wonderful, respectful and caring professional. I believe that with her osteopathic treatment I have less pain and more mobility than I would have with just physio alone. Any person would benefit from her treatment and would feel a difference in just one visit. I would recommend osteopathic treatment to anyone who may have pain and mobility issues.

Expérience fantastique: Always look forward to my treatment days with Maggie! Not only has my body and pain improved, but I feel much more educated and in tune with my body after each appointment! Thankful to have found her!

Expérience fantastique: Maggie is friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable. I walk away feeling more flexible and relaxed. I look forward to every appointment with Maggie she is always imparting her wisdom on me.

Expérience fantastique: I have been seeing Maggie since April 2022 and in just a few months she has helped me so much with pain and flexibility. I am so glad I found Maggie. Highly recommend.

Expérience fantastique: I have seen an osteopath for many years but I decided to try Durham Osteopathy because it was closer to where I live. Wow what a huge difference I had in one treatment. I had breast cancer and I get a lot of lymph build up at the side of my breast. Maggie was able to drain the lymph and it didn’t fill back up for weeks. That was the first time that ever happened. Also after my first treatment Maggie told me I maybe tired. I am not someone that gets tired easily but man oh man I was so tired when I got home I had to have a nap. Maggie is very professional and kind. She is also very good at what she does. I would highly recommend her.

Expérience fantastique: There is a reason why my wife and I call her “Magic Maggie”! She is a true healer. Both my wife and I experienced noticeable changes after even 1 session.

Expérience fantastique: I have been to Durham Osteopathy for a couple of years now and each visit is a fantastic experience. Maggie is very knowledgeable, very personable and puts a lot of effort in getting to know your situation and to best treat your issues.

Expérience fantastique: An absolutely fabulous experience that was not only relaxing and interactive but best of all it provided the relief and healing needed. I highly recommend osteopathy and it's results. Thanks Maggie!

Expérience fantastique: Maggie is a fantastic Osteopath. She has a great sense of touch and finds my troubled spots instantly. She is so knowledgable, kind and extremely professional and I highly recommend Durham Osteopathy

Expérience fantastique: There are no words to express the relief I have found with Maggie! I have been on a very long road. I have been in physio, massage therapy and acupuncture for over 3 months with absolutely no relief. I have had upper back pain so excruciating that I was on pain medication every 4 hours simply to be able to function. I couldn't work, I was almost bed ridden for months. As a last resort it was recommended I try Osteopathy. I am SO glad I found Maggie! With no exaggeration at all, after the very first treatment I was able to sleep through the night without waking up with pain. After the second treatment I was down to NO pain medication during the day at all! Maggie taught me how to re-align my posture, and even fit me in twice a week until we get this under control. After thinking that I would never get rid of my pain, Maggie has given me the relief I've been looking for, for months!

Expérience fantastique: Maggie is amazing! So kind and caring, goes above and beyond. She is great at what she does.

Expérience fantastique: I have been suffering with back-hip pain for months, went to my massage therapist and got relief for a day. Went to see Maggie and the difference after one treatment is palpable and I will continue until this issue is solved and then once a month appts for upkeep as this really really worked For me. Very gentle and non invasive with outstanding results

Expérience fantastique: Iv had back, hip and abdominal pain for months. After other medical intervention failed to help me I heard about Osteopathy and decided to give it a go. Maggie was very friendly, knowledgeable and keeps a very clean environment. Iv had about 5 sessions and I started to experience improvements after my 1st visit. I am now on my road to recovery and staring to resume with my normal routines. Thanks Maggie!

Expérience fantastique: I put my back out in mid January. I am a Physiotherapist with advanced knowledge and skills in musculoskeletal conditions and manual therapy joint mobilizations and I knew that I would need hands on techniques to recover, so I decided to give Maggie and Osteopathy a try. There were immediate results after the first session and a restoration of SI joint alignment with the second session. More importantly, between adhering to all Maggie's recommendations combined with my own physiotherapy interventions, not only have I recovered from my injury but my lumbosacral area is in better condition than prior to my injury as are other areas of my body (neck, shoulders, ribs, etc) and all the credit for this goes to Maggie. Maggie is the real deal--knowledgeable, professional, and highly skilled.

Expérience fantastique: Maggie, Maggie, Maggie … where do I begin ? Years of pain subsiding after only 4 treatments. Whenever I leave the office I feel like a million bucks. I’m sleeping soundly and am able to continue comfortably with my normal life and hobbies. She is patient, understanding and most of all professional, explaining everything before hand. I highly recommend Durham Osteopathy.

Expérience fantastique: After several years of chronic pain, I saw results after only a couple of sessions with Maggie. She is a kind, professional and caring Osteopath I would highly recommend.

Expérience fantastique: Booking and getting situated in the office was very easy. Maggie explained what I could expect in a very friendly and concise manner. I felt safe in the office with covid procedures and have no concerns whatsoever about this practice.

Expérience fantastique: It was recommended to me to go to a osteopathy ,because of a leg injury. My legs, hips and back was very stiff.When I walked I was very blended over. I started coming to Durham Osteopathy, my first visit I walked out a totally different person. I’ve now had 3 visits,I can feel my body getting back to normal for me. Not only did Maggie restore my body, she shared so much other important information on how to keep it healthy. The right way to stand ,and sleep also help me with badder control .Each visit I learn more. I’m returning to my younger 72yr old self Thank you Maggie

Expérience fantastique: Thank you, I feel better after my first visit.

Expérience fantastique: Fantastic treatment! I highly recommend Durham Osteopathy

Expérience fantastique: Maggie is professional, non-judgmental, and sensitive to her clients' needs. She is very thorough with her assessments and treatments, never leaving me feel rushed. She provides practical and useful strategies and recommendations.

Expérience fantastique: Maggie has really helped my husband get some mobility back. He was really hurt so it will take time but he is so happy with Maggie. Highly recommend her :)

Expérience fantastique: Maggie is brilliant and is very knowledgeable. Her osteo treatment has resulted in many improvements which has definitely helped in daily life.

Expérience fantastique: Very wonderful practice. It balanced my whole body with very gentle manipulation. If you are impacted by trauma and looking for whole body balance this is wonderful . It helps overall well being too Very skilled and likeable practitioner

Expérience fantastique: I would highly recommend Durham Osteopathy. I have been going to this location for two months now to obtain treatment and Maggie has been nothing but professional each and every time I attend for an appointment. I always feel comfortable while she is helping me heal and strengthen my body. She is able to accommodate my schedule and the website makes it very easy to book appointments. During Covid-19, proper measures are in place to ensure my safety including sanitization after every session. Great treatment with great customer service.

Expérience fantastique: My husband and I both see Maggie for Osteopathy treatments on a regular basis for over a year now. She has changed both of our lives and we cannot imagine where we would be if we had not met her. My husband was born with a severe neck injury that left him in constant pain. It affected his work, sleep and daily life. Maggie's treatments have greatly improved his pain, he does not need to take pain medication and he is able to function better at work and sleep at night. I experienced a series of traumatic injuries that severely damaged me both physically and mentally. I sought out treatments from physiotherapists, naturopaths, doctors and nothing worked. It was a struggle to get through the day. Maggie was professional and understanding to my experiences and never made me feel uncomfortable. Her treatments have allowed me to live an active and normal life again and I would not be where I am without them. I recently had a panoramic x ray of my face and the Specialist could see where I had a fracture in my jaw and tissue damage. They did not understand how I wasn't in severe pain and how I wasn't struggling to use my jaw. I told them I was seeing an Osteopath and they said if I hadn't been getting the treatments, I would have needed to see a Surgeon. As a person, Maggie is caring, professional, extremely knowledgeable in her field and will go above and beyond for you. She is a wonderful woman and we are so grateful to her for helping us heal. Our family would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat.

Expérience fantastique: I have found Durham Osteopathy to be the best in Durham region. My experience with Maggie has been positive with excellent ultimate results. She is extremely knowledgeable and skilled at aligning the systems in the body, eliminating blockages and ensuring every part of the body works together in harmony. Thank you, Maggie!

Expérience fantastique: Had an incredible experience at Durham Osteopathy. Extremely professional, very informative and I haven’t felt this good in years! I will definitely be back.
