Welcome to Capital Osteopathy Ottawa.

Ottawa's Premier Osteopathic Clinic

Do You Want to Feel Better Today And Build A Foundation On Which You Can Feel Better Tomorrow And For The Rest of Your Life?

Let's face it: It can be challenging to make the changes necessary to be healthy on all levels of being. Our modern world is full of distractions, as we are expected to keep up with all of the hectic demands of daily life. If you feel like you have lost yourself, you are not alone.

When we are struggling with chronic health problems, so often it is a sign that we need to look deeper into our lives and make a higher commitment to creating the life that we really want. Rather than just putting a band-aid on our symptoms to make us feel a little better, we need to make some changes that will enable healing to take place at a core level. This often means changing the way that we perceive the world as much as it does changing our diet, exercise habits, etc.

Osteopathic Medicine is an 100 year old health care system, developed by A.J Still (pictured left) that can gently guide you to a more vital, meaningful, and enjoyable life. At Capital Osteopathy, we pride ourselves on using Osteopathic diagnostic techniques to not only improve your current health symptoms, but to also educate you about how you can live the fullest, most beneficial life that you can in order to keep yourself thriving for as long as you live.

In this sense, we pick up where Orthodox Western medicine so often leaves off. We take the time to help you heal yourself on all levels of being, not just give you some temporary relief so you feel a little better. That is the power of Osteopathy and the purpose behind Capital Osteopathy.

Osteopathy is based on the knowledge that the human body has an enormous capacity for self-healing. At Capital Osteopathy, we are dedicated to nurturing that ability within every individual patient.

We have successfully treated hundreds of patients for disorders ranging from:

Chronic pain
Arthritis
Headaches and migraines
Gastrointestinal difficulties
Allergies
Menstrual disorders ( from painful periods to menopause )
Infertility
Depression and Anxiety
And much more!

Maria McCloskey D.O.
Cranial, Traditional and Visceral Osteopathy
Growing up in Colombia inspired by multiple family members in the health professions (specially her homeopathic doctor and dentist mother) Maria's vocation was always obvious since childhood. At age 14 along with her family she moved to Canada, her father's homeland. While studying Biology at Concordia University in Montreal and then at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Maria had the opportunity of enrolling in an apprenticeship with a renowned Osteopath who inspired her into the profession. She became familiarized with Osteopathy and fell in love with it, amazed at how just a pair of hands could help so many patients get better. She eventually made the decision of enrolling in the IEOQ Osteopathy program in Montreal, and graduated with a D.O in June 2011.

During her time at Concordia Maria was able to volunteer in Southern France at different herb/plant remedy farms where she had the privilege of learning about herbal medicine and Bach Remedies. During her time in Osteo school, she had the opportunity to attend orthopedic surgery, vaginal and cesarean births, as well as ectopic pregnancy surgeries at the Partenon Clinic in Bogota, Colombia. Maria had the chance of working with post-partum mothers and newborns, providing osteopathic care to both and seeing the incredible benefits of post-partum and early pediatric osteopathic treatment.

Throughout her time in Osteo School, during her clinical practice year in Ottawa (under the supervision of Brian Sudledsky, D.O, and Marc Desjardins, D.O) and to this day, Maria has treated patients of all ages and conditions, from infants to the elderly, in both Canada and Colombia. Her passion and current specialty is visceral and cranial osteopathy, supported by her ongoing enrollment in continual education through the Barral Institute for Visceral and Neural Manipulations and Upledger institute for CranioSacral Therapy.

Maria is fluent in Spanish, English and French.
