Who is Linda Southworth? Linda is a UK trained osteopathic practitioner who has over 26 years of experience helping patients overcome their conditions and rapidly return to a pain free life. Now relocated on Canada’s west coast of British Columbia, near Sechelt, she continues to help people using traditional, time proven osteopathic techniques that are unique to her profession, and is one of only a small handful of osteopathic practitioners in the province of British Columbia. What is osteopathy? Osteopathy as a practice was founded in the late 1800’s by Andrew Taylor Still, an MD who believed that treating the whole person, body, mind, and spirit, was necessary. He believed in treating the source of the problem and not the symptoms, using hands-on diagnosis and treatment. He held that, "medicine should begin with the patient, continue with patient, and end with the patient." Unlike some other therapies, osteopathy does not stop at the spine as the main source of pain and disease, searching not only the entire body for the source of any ailments, but external influences as well, such as stress, depression, etc.
