Meet Martin

Headshot of Martin DaignaultMartin Daignault, Osteopath

I am a dedicated Osteopathic Manual Practitioner (DOMP) committed to helping individuals achieve optimal health and well-being. My journey in manual therapy began 13 years ago, inspired by a lifelong curiosity about the human body. After earning my degree in Kinesiology, I started my career by training athletes and assisting individuals in recovering from sports injuries. However, it wasn’t until I faced my own challenges with concussions and chronic low back pain that I discovered the transformative power of Osteopathy.

Osteopathy played a pivotal role in restoring my health and enabling me to achieve peak performance across a wide range of physical pursuits. Over the past 15 years, I have tested the limits of my body in diverse athletic endeavors. I’ve competed in boxing matches, completed two Ironman Triathlons, and tackled countless solo ultra-marathons spanning distances of 50km to 200km. Among my proudest achievements is stepping onto the podium at the renowned Pyrenees Stage Run, a grueling 7-day race in Spain. More recently, I’ve immersed myself in the world of grappling tournaments, constantly pushing my boundaries and staying active. Through all of this, Osteopathy and a dedicated exercise regimen have been my foundation, keeping me healthy, strong, and resilient.

As an Osteopath, my mission is to provide professional, compassionate care that addresses the root cause of each client’s concerns. I am dedicated to offering personalized, effective treatment plans tailored to individual needs, always prioritizing safety and long-term well-being. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, or striving to optimize your physical performance, I am here to help you achieve your goals and live life to the fullest.

My Unique Approach to Osteopathy

My approach is rooted in the core tenets of osteopathy:

  • The body is a unit: Physical, emotional, and environmental factors are interconnected.
  • Structure and function are interrelated: By addressing structural issues, we can improve overall health.
  • The body has an inherent capacity to heal: My role is to support and facilitate this process.

During each session, I take the time to understand your unique needs, assess your condition, and develop a customized treatment plan. My techniques range from gentle soft tissue work and joint mobilization to craniosacral therapy, ensuring comprehensive care.
