Hi, I'm Rickey Goudreau, a certified osteopath, working out of the Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. I hope you'll enjoy this website. It will provide you with some general information about osteopathy and the treatments I can provide. The site will list the ailments that osteopathy can treat and provide practical information about cost, health insurance coverage and my location and contact information.
And there is additional information about one of my specialties - sports therapy and athletic therapy. There are answers to some frequently asked questions about osteopathy and even a video that shows an osteopathy technique. Finally, there are testimonials from some of the satisfied clients with whom I've worked.

Services
Osteopathic treatments are based on the principle that the body can be assisted to heal itself naturally. The body can usually heal injuries itself. However, in some cases, the injury is greater than the body's ability to adapt or heal. This inability may be caused by a number of reasons, and the injuries, sometimes even minor ones, may create problems that seem unrelated.
How Long do Osteopathic Treatments Last? The initial treatment/evaluation tends to last an hour. Subsequent treatments will vary but often become half-hour sessions or less as the ailment begins to resolve. Is the Cost Covered by Provincial or Private Insurance? Most extended health insurance policies cover osteopathic medicine and massage therapy.
Rickey is one amazingly passionate therapist. The time and energy he gave to us high school aged runners was unbelievable. He was always there at practices donating his time and services (for free!) to help loosen our legs after the pounding they just incurred. An unbelievably caring, generous and skilled professional - with a great sense of humor too!
Rickey will determine which therapy method will be most effective in your situation - and discuss it with you before beginning the treatment. He also has other treatment options available, including ultrasound, acupuncture, and TMS? A session might include one or all of these types of treatment. 3. What do I Wear?

Thanks to Rickey’s excellent care over many years I am still able to run well at age 75.
Due in large party to Rickey’s help I was able to win gold in the 800 m and 1500m at the Canadian Masters Track And Field Championships , as well as a silver medal at the Ontario Masters cross country championships.

Rickey is the most effective osteopath I've seen. As a sprinter/runner, I started seeing him over 15 years ago. Rickey is highly knowledgeable and is great at quickly finding the issue. I would see Rickey for any pains, strains, pulls, stiffness or tightness. Rickey is always thorough in his treatment and offers great advice for exercises.

I went to see Ricky for some pain I was having in my hamstring. He was able to identify other issues that were causing the pain, most notably he identified an imbalance in my hips and realigned them. This decreased the pain and helped my athletic performance. Along with his skill as an osteopath, he was also very kind and talkative. Overall great experience with Ricky!

Rickey fixed me! Rickey is always an incredible professional and always get a laugh out of me. I've had several injuries over the years, through high school, university and now Chiropractic school and Ricky has always been able to help me recover faster than ever, which allows me to perform better than ever! Very experienced and knowledgable. Highly recommend treatment from Rickey!
