WELCOME TO THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF OSTEOPATHY WEBSITE

National Academy of Osteopathy (NAO), located in Toronto, Ontario is founded as a Canadian institution that would offer an excellent education, be a catalyst for developing a unified profession, conduct research to further the scientific basis of manual osteopathy, become the home for knowledge related to manual osteopathy and be the face of the profession to governments, third party payers, and the general public.

We are a fully accredited, professional educational institution with professional faculty and staff who are experts in their fields. NAO receives no direct government funding and relies on tuition fees and donations for support.

NAO educates osteopathic manual practitioners with a four months condensed full time and two part time (nine months and three year) professional programs leading to a Diploma in Manual Osteopathy (DMO).

We conduct research that is recognized for its contribution to manual osteopathy. We provide manual osteopathic care for patients in our teaching clinic in North York. We support manual osteopathic practitioners with the knowledge, resources and services to help their businesses thrive, and we advocate to influence education and health care policies that affect these health care practitioners.
