Philosophy
Margaux Clouet d’Orval approaches osteopathy with a focus on how the body functions as an interconnected system, where mechanical load, nervous system regulation, visceral function, and lifestyle factors all interact in the development of pain and dysfunction.
She has a particular interest in how stress, recovery capacity, and physical activity influence the way symptoms present, especially in active individuals and endurance-based athletes.
Her treatment approach combines structural, cranial, and visceral osteopathic techniques, always guided by a global understanding of the individual rather than isolated symptoms. She places strong emphasis on patient education, helping individuals understand the contributing factors to their condition so they can actively participate in their recovery process.
Educational Background
Margaux Clouet d’Orval is an osteopathic practitioner who completed a five-year full-time osteopathic program at the École Supérieure d’Ostéopathie in France.
She also holds a Master’s degree in Sports Science, specializing in Exercise Physiology, Health, and Human Performance, which supports her clinical understanding of load, recovery, and adaptation in active populations.
She continues to further her education each year through post-graduate training in osteopathic techniques and clinical reasoning.
Margaux is bilingual in French and English, allowing her to work comfortably with a diverse patient population in Vancouver.
Areas of Practice
Margaux works with a wide range of patients, with a particular focus on active individuals & recreational athletes (runners, hikers, cyclists, triathletes), sports-related injuries & load management, persistent or recurrent musculoskeletal pain, stress-related and nervous system dysregulation patterns, digestive and visceral dysfunctions.
She integrates cranial, visceral, and structural osteopathic approaches depending on each patient’s presentation.
Personal History
Margaux’s interest in osteopathy began following an ACL injury, during which she experienced firsthand the role that manual therapy and a global understanding of the body can play in rehabilitation and recovery.
This experience led her to pursue osteopathic training in France, where she completed a five-year program and developed a strong interest in the relationship between structure, function, and the body’s adaptive capacity.
After several years of clinical experience in France, she moved to Vancouver, drawn to its unique combination of ocean and mountains and its active lifestyle culture. As someone who values sport and outdoor movement, she found North Vancouver to be a natural fit both personally and professionally.
