mia di costanzo, OMP
Osteopathic Manual Practitioner
Toronto Metropolitan University
Canadian Academy of Osteopathy
Mia graduated from the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy and is a part of the Ontario Osteopathic Association. Prior to that she graduated from Toronto Metropolitan University with BA in Arts and Contemporary Studies in 2018.
In her youth Mia was a competitive gymnast. Sport and competition fuelled her but injuries started to take over. She sought help from various types of practitioners, finding osteopathy to provide her with the most relief. As she navigated her own journey of healing and recovery she became keenly interested in helping others do the same. Osteopathy is a gentle manual therapy that works to improve motion of tissues and joints, with the intention of bringing balance into the body. When there is improved motion and balance the body is better able to self heal and regulate as it was designed to.
With a strong understanding of functional anatomy and physiology Mia is trained to look at the body as a whole, seeing how everything is connected. She applies this to treating each individual patient, finding the roots of their symptoms. Mia is very excited to support you in your own journey of healing.
