About Prairie Therapy
Prairie Therapy operates out of Encompass Holistic Health in Calgary and offers osteopathic manual therapy and athletic therapy services. Christine Dixon, an osteopathic manual therapist and athletic therapist certified with the Canadian Athletic Therapists Association and trained through the Canadian School of Osteopathy, is the practitioner.

Osteopathic manual therapy at Prairie Therapy uses skilled palpation and gentle manual techniques including joint manipulations, cranio-sacral techniques, visceral manipulation, soft tissue manipulation, muscle energy techniques, and fluidic protocols to address musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, neurological, cranial, and visceral system dysfunction. Athletic therapy involves assessment, prevention, and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal injuries with customized exercise programs. The clinic treats patients of all ages for pain management, women's health and fertility concerns, concussions, digestive issues, pregnancy and post-partum care, infant and pediatric conditions, and stress. Dixon's clinical interests include foot, ankle, and lower body dysfunction, with particular expertise in fertility, prenatal, and post-partum care. Treatment plans are individualized and typically include a home exercise program tailored to the patient's specific needs and daily activities.
