“I enthusiastically endorse Merlita for her profound knowledge in the field of osteopathy and for her warm and fun-loving personality. Merlita has been treating me for various joint and spinal health issues over the past several months. I highly value her extensive experience in the field of physiotherapy, as well as her rehabilitative exercises for strengthening and conditioning. Merlita really goes the extra distance for her clients, both during treatment sessions, and when providing follow-up care.”

I began seeing Sheelagh in late 2017; Osteopathy was the one therapy I had not yet tried.  I experienced chronic lower back pain for 10+ years that only became worse over time. For years I tried a number of paramedical services with only temporary relief at best. By early 2017, the pain had spread to the sciatic nerve in my left leg making daily activities, including work, difficult.  After an initial assessment, Sheelagh knew exactly what approach to take. After 3-4 sessions, my sciatic nerve pain subsided. Then after a few more sessions, so did the back pain I had experienced for years and it did not return. At age 55, I have once again been able to play sports that I used to love. This is something I never thought would be possible again. I still see Sheelagh on an as needed basis to help with joint pain and stiffness caused by my return to sporting activities but have never experienced back pain again. I can’t thank her enough for giving me that second chance at physical health. Sheelagh’s gentle and caring hands and her empathetic personality have made a lasting positive change in my life.

Merlita Cabalse is a wonderful Osteopath. She really listens to her clients and understands their needs. I had tried osteopathy in the past and it was helpful, but after beginning treatments with Merlita I have seen a greater degree of improvement, I even noticed a difference after the initial treatment. Merlita is very knowledgeable and has a great depth of experience and knows exactly how to treat her clients to see results. In addition, she is very understanding of any limitations you may have and has lots of ideas if mobility or movement restrictions are present. She is just an all-around kind and cheerful person. I am so grateful to have found Merlita’s practice and I can say without a doubt that I feel better and have seen many improvements in my mobility since I began seeing her a few months ago. I highly recommend you book an assessment to learn more.

Merlita made an amazing job at relieving my muscular pain through just one initial appointment. The pain affecting the bones faded after 3 days and totally went away after the following appointment. Her technique is both powerful and gentle at the same time: I could feel on what part of my body she was actually working, while softly massaging my head. Her caring and smiling attitude is also a plus :o) I definitively recommend her Manual Osteopathic treatment.

I won a ‎one-hour session with Merlita at a volunteer walk. I have had neck and back problems for a number of years and my physiotherapist recommended I see an osteopath. Merlita was so professional and made me feel so comfortable. Her technique is amazing. She also has given me exercises to do at home. I have definitely been sleeping better since having her treatments. I would recommend her to anyone looking for some relief from anything to pain or headaches or stomach problems.

Amazing place. Very professional and outstanding service. I highly recommend to anyone to go to the Belmont Osteopath Clinic.
We have taken our baby there for the past 5 weeks and we notice a significant difference. He sleeps so well after having a session. Sheelagh is very gentle with him and is always so excited to see him. I look forward to these sessions.

Merlita is AMAZING! I was referred to her by a friend of mine who works as a Nurse Practitioner. Merlita is a kind, caring, and highly skilled professional osteopath!
I have tried a variety of professionals over the years for a lower back injury with minimal to no success. After my first visit, I immediately was able to have a greater range of motion, sciatic pain was GONE, and general aches, pains, and stiffness disappeared!
If you have ever thought about trying osteopathy, or you are not achieving results from other professionals I highly recommend Merlita at Belmont Osteopathy! If I could give her a million stars I would!!
**FYI her practice has expanded tremendously and she books up fast!
