Philip Drube, M.OMSc.
Philip Drube naturally gravitated towards osteopathy as he is passionate about helping people achieve balance in their lives. Through manual treatments, osteopathic practitioners encourage and promote self-healing in body, mind and spirit by harmonizing these three facets of our being.
Drube enjoyed an unusually long and distinguished career as a dancer, gracing the stage for close to thirty years. He was a company member of Toronto's Dancemakers and Desrosiers Dance Theatre, performing internationally. He received a Peter F. Bronfman award from the Dancer Transition Resource Center, which facilitated his new career as an osteopathic manual practitioner.
Drube perceives a strong relation between dance and osteopathy: “While technique and discipline are essential [to the practice of osteopathy], I see osteopathy as an art form. I used to treat people through my abilities as a performer. Now, I treat people by practicing a healing art that is based on applying principles of mechanics with an in depth anatomical and physiological understanding."
It is through this practice of classical osteopathic manual therapy that Drube safely and effectively guides his patients to a state of greater dynamic harmony and vitality in their lives.

Osteopathy, as put forth by its founder, A.T. Still, believes the body is self-healing and integrated on all levels. An osteopath uses his or her hands to bring a person more into balance in order to accomplish homeostasis. This includes muscles, bones, nerves, blood vessels, glands, organs and the multiple rhythms of our existence.
