Osteopathic Manual Practitioner

Lisa Nugent

I'm Lisa Nugent, an Osteopathic Manual Practitioner based in Kelowna, BC. I became drawn to osteopathy because of its whole-body approach and the opportunity to work with each person as an individual.

My goal is to help you better understand your body, feel more comfortable in your movement and support you through the different stages of life.

I work with infants and children, pregnant and postpartum clients, and adults looking for support with pain, mobility, recovery and overall movement.

My Approach

No two people move or experience their bodies in exactly the same way. That's why I don't take a one-size-fits-all approach to treatment.

I begin by listening to what you're experiencing and assessing how your body is moving as a whole. From there, treatment is tailored to your individual needs, whether that means working through an area of discomfort, supporting recovery or helping you move more freely.

My approach is gentle, hands-on and centred around making sure you feel comfortable and understood throughout the process.

  • "Lisa has been so wonderful to work with! Our baby started sleeping a lot better during nap times and her reflux has improved immensely as well. Overall her development has been so good as a result of osteopathy treatment. Lisa has a special touch and both of our kids adore her! We highly recommend seeing Lisa!"

  • "I can’t recommend Lisa Nugent enough. I came to her struggling with intense sciatic pain caused by ongoing hip issues, and after just a few sessions, I started to feel a real difference. She took the time to understand the root of the problem, explained everything clearly, and worked with a level of care and expertise that instantly made me feel at ease. Not only did she help relieve my pain, but she also gave me the tools and exercises to maintain progress between appointments. If you’re dealing with chronic pain or mobility issues, Lisa is absolutely someone you want in your corner."

  • "I won’t pretend to fully understand what osteopathy is, but I went to see Lisa with significant lower back pain and left days later having completely forgotten I’d ever had an issue. After just two sessions, the difference was remarkable. What stood out just as much was her care—she made time to fit me in before an upcoming trip, despite an already busy schedule. Lisa is exceptional at what she does, thoughtful in her approach, and genuinely invested in helping you feel better. I can’t recommend her highly enough.""

  • "Lisa has treated myself during pregnancy, post partum, with my newborns and as my children grew. She cares for them individually and values her clients. Thank you Lisa for being a knowledgeable and caring osteopathic provider."
