Prior to studying Osteopathy, Kam studied Geography, demographics, infrastructure management etc. Then she transitioned to study bones, muscles, blood vessels, nerves. lymphatics and organs at the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy.
What do Geography and Osteopathy have in common?
Geographers essentially study the spatial relationships of people, places and/or things. A Geographer’s approach is layered, literally taking data layer by layer to analyze the interrelationships.
One of the primary principles of Osteopathy is that the body is a unit. While there are different “layers” of the body, they are all interrelated in function and form. Muscles and tendons help to physically move the body. But what allows for movement to occur practically involves the whole body. Layers upon layers, all dynamically intertwined!
So, if you suffer from chronic headaches, a classically trained Osteopathic Practitioner would not simply assess just your head. The Practitioner would search for the cause of the symptom through motion testing, palpation, and her knowledge of anatomy and physiology. The Practitioner would ask the question of why and assess the whole body, layer by layer. Based on her assessment, the Practitioner would apply treatment to ease the position of bones and muscles, improve blood and lymphatic flow, calm the nervous system, and improve the vitality of the Patient. The aim of treatment is to improve coordination and integration of the body’s structures as a whole. Ultimately, this would enhance the quality of life.

Alok graduated from McMaster University with a degree in Honors Kinesiology. Throughout his studies he worked at McMaster University’s sports medicine clinic where he gained valuable experience in treating various types of musculoskeletal conditions and injuries.
Alok’s interest in Osteopathy developed when he learned of the story of a family friend. Their son was born with clubbed feet, and at the age of 4 was still unable to walk. The mother sought medical advice and was told surgery was the only option. While her son was placed on the waiting list, she decided to take him to see an osteopath. To her astonishment, within 6 months her son was showing marked improvement, and within 2 years was able to walk normally without surgery!
Inspired by the outcome of this case and the effectiveness of osteopathic therapy for himself and others, Alok decided to become a manual osteopath. In addition to his manual therapy techniques, Alok strongly believes in educating his clients on how they can help themselves resolve their aches and pain. And always explains his treatment protocol. Alok continues to follow his passion to help others by expanding his education and knowledge with advanced studies.
