Hi, I’m Ryan Mercier — an experienced Osteopathic Manual Practitioner who has recently relocated to Kelowna from Ontario. I hold a four-year Bachelor of Science with a specialization in Psychology from Laurentian University and a four-year Master’s in Osteopathic Manipulative Sciences from the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy.

 

Growing up, I was always active and involved in sports, which naturally sparked my passion for human movement and biomechanics. This curiosity eventually evolved into a career focused on helping people move, function, and feel better by restoring balance and alignment to the body’s structure.

 

Over the years, I’ve worked with a wide variety of people — from children and seniors to athletes, desk workers, and tradespeople — and have seen consistent results across all systems of the body. Whether you're dealing with musculoskeletal pain like sciatica, TMJ dysfunction, or chronic back pain; headaches or migraines; preparing for or recovering from surgery; managing digestive issues like IBS, bloating, reflux, or constipation; or navigating respiratory, hormonal, circulatory, lymphatic, or nervous system challenges — osteopathy offers a hands-on approach that supports your body’s natural ability to heal and self-regulate.

 

Osteopathy uses differential diagnosis to find the root cause of your symptoms, focusing on how one issue can lead to another. By treating the underlying cause, rather than just masking the symptoms, we help restore balance and support your body’s natural healing process.

 

Additionally, osteopathic treatments are covered under most benefit packages, making it easier for you to access the care you need.

 

I’m excited to be part of the Kelowna community and look forward to welcoming you to the clinic.
