Reviews of Kootenay Osteopathy (Doctor)

Joel Godbee

Slightly different to Osteopathic treatment in Australia but Eli's approach is very knowledgable and experiential. He took time to really understand what was going on with my body and to explain to me what the issue was, what he was doing and how to go about rehabing. Thanks Eli :)

I thoroughly enjoyed my session with Eli. He was very helpful with my issues that I was experiencing and was informative of why it was happening. He also gave me great advice on what I should work on at home.

Eli is awesome. He has helped me release a lot of body tightness in my body through very low-invasiveness techniques, and always provided more information and techniques for me to take home to continue helping myself to re-align. I have always felt very heard and understood by him, and usually mind-blown by how he manages to find the root of the pain or tightness a few layers deeper than the superficial areas that the pain comes to the surface in my awareness.

Coming in all twisted and tight and leaving feeling no pain and no tightness but taller and straighter! Just magical!

Louis Butterfield

Best Osteo in Nelson, without a doubt. Kind hearted, knowledgeable and is able to think outside of the box. Not adjustment heavy, he worked with my body to allow its natural healing to come forward rather than cracking it into place. A+

Eli has treated me a few times, as well as given my partner amazing treatments when he was in an acute injury situation. He always goes above and beyond expectation, his manner is so gentle yet powerful and caring. He took the time to really look into what was going on for me and didn't quit until he saw a change in my condition. Thanks so much Eli, you have a magic touch

I'm so grateful to Eli for being a True Healer. He gives me his insight's and healing energy to remind me that the healing energy comes from within as well.He can help with the process of clearing the meridian's, but it is our own practice and good will to heal that makes his work so successful.I highly recommend his caring touch as some of the best medicine you can get with only one side effect, True Healing.

Eli is a born healer. I have lower back issues due to a curved spine. Eli did about 30 minutes of sacrum work and my pain disappeared for 2 weeks. It's never really gotten bad again ever since because Eli will also suggest exercises and stretches you can do o your own to mitigate the problem. I highly recommend him for you healing work.

Sensitive and skilled hands. Incredible knowledge of the body. Super helpful! Thanks Eli!

In the last couple years, I have seen 4 or 5 therapists and had about 10 treatment about the same issue, it is the first time I have experienced significant improvement. Eli took his time doing proper assessment, explained me his findings and gave me further advise to go forward with healing. I feel really grateful I had access to his services for an affordable price!

I went to Eli at Kootenay Osteropathy for a pain I had in my side for months. Within 3 visits he addressed where the pain was coming from, how to solve it on a regular basis and ways to avoid it from the future. I was also dealing with some residual injuries that he worked through with me. The experience I had there was like no other in comparison. I have seen many physiotherapists, chiropractors, and massage therapists who cumulatively were not able to address the issues that Eli was able to essentially solve for me in 3 sessions. Of course with any injury/pain/etc you will want to continue with his treatment plan - but I highly recommend going here at least once!

Teresa Winter

Eli helped me move through my long term chronic pain. I felt relieved to have finally found a practitioner that could address the complexity of my issues. My body continued to respond positively to the treatment for weeks after the session. I highly recommend Eli for any chronic pain issues or body work in general.

Dawnia Baines

Eli’s treatments are very gentle, yet powerful. He is very knowledgeable and I trust him fully to help decipher the pain in my body. I come out of my appointments with much gratitude, feeling less pain and excited for future treatments.

Shawn Betts

Gave me rehab exercises and principles that have really helped. Without the clarity and direction visiting him gave me, I doubt I'd have seen this level of improvement.

Melanie Bentele

I have only been on one session so far, because of my groint and lower back pain. Eli had a great awareness of the cause of the problem and helped to release to stiffness and the uncomfortable feeling went away. He showed me excerise to prevent the issue. I definitely felt my well being was the main focus.

Chris Brach

I've seen Eli multiple times. I am amazed at how such a gentle process can yield results like this. Long lasting results too. Highly beneficial.

BlaikieK

I was at a music festival a couple years ago now, and out of nowhere my hip went out and it was extremely painful. Eli had a booth at this festival and was able to do what he does, and in about half an hour I was pain free. I highly recommend Eli's expertise .

Vanessa Deverell

Eli is a truly gifted osteopath. His presence alone is healing: he is incredibly intuitive, grounding and steady. He has a thirst for knowledge and is constantly furthering his understanding of the practice. With his subtle and well-informed touch, he has resolved issues for me in a single session. Eli is also great at making big-picture health assessments. He can offer game-changing feedback that other health professionals may have overlooked. He can pinpoint key health interventions in functional training, lifestyle and diet. Eli is respectful of his clients’ resources and will only recommend the number of treatments that they need. His intention is always to empower his clients to take charge of their health, giving them immediate relief, faith in their body’s capacity for regeneration, and long-term strategies for self-care.

Derek Egan

I've never been to a bodyworker who is so adept at healing. As a tree-planter I've struggled with tendonitis and sore muscles for years, but now thanks to Eli, I have been able to overcome these regular aches and pains and I have more tools to work through these bodily issues.

Kerry Marsland

I had great relief from my lower back pain after only 1 session with Eli. He was able to assess the problem and over the next couple of days following the treatment, my pain totally went away. He also gave me rehab exercises to do on my own. He is very knowledgeable and kind. Will definitely be recommending him to my friends.

Laena Brown

I had three sessions with Eli a couple of years ago for reoccurring back pain. I’m happy to say that I have never had an issue with it again since going to him. So grateful for his work.

Toni Hayward

I immediately felt comfortable with Eli. His energy was calm and confident.. Just being in his presence was relaxing and healing. He is knowledgeable and skilled.. I highly recommend Eli Mead.

Vince Keenan

I have suffered from arthritis in my knees, hip and back for decades. I was to the point of considering replacement surgery. After two years of treatment and taking the minerals and elements recommended Eli, my pain is almost gone. Maybe replacement surgery is a long way off, if ever. Thanks Eli

The Bridge

My session with Eli was very helpful and informative. He helped me understand mechanisms and challenges that are occurring in my body. He is very knowledgeable, personable, and professional. I would highly recommend a treatment with Eli to anyone who is interested in feeling more body aligned.
