The Canadian Academy of Osteopathy
Who We Are
The CAO provides education in the theory and application of Classical Manual Osteopathic treatment.
We teach our students the mechanical and physiological reasoning behind the problems and help them choose the appropriate technique to address health issues. We encourage our students to think critically and provide rational treatment, enabling them to tailor treatment to a patient’s problems.
Our History
The CAO was established as an independent college in 2003 with the goal of providing education in the osteopathic manipulative sciences in keeping with the professions rich history and tradition. Our focus has always been on critical thinking and problem solving while providing students a rigorous but rewarding learning environment.
Our Mission
It is the mission of the CAO to provide the highest quality Osteopathic education possible. Elevation of educational standards through the preservation of the rich history and classical aspects and applications of Osteopathy, as well as properly integrating the modern theories and techniques into clinical practice, is a major focus of our mission. Curing illness, alleviating suffering, finding truth, and seeking peace and joy are essential parts of the mission.
