With a background in dance and movement science, Joanne Bracciale developed an early focus on anatomy, biomechanics, and therapeutic care. She began her training in complementary health sciences in Toronto before graduating from the Sutherland-Chan School of Massage Therapy, where she completed advanced studies in lymphatic drainage, deep connective tissue work, and treatment of diverse clinical populations.
After relocating to Montréal in 2001, she worked at the McGill Sports Medicine Clinic treating athletes and the general public, while also becoming a certified mat Pilates instructor, yoga teacher, and Shiatsu therapist. She later established a private practice and worked internationally as a private personal massage therapist.
In 2019, Joanne completed the five-year Osteopathy program at the Canadian College of Osteopathy (CCO), earning her D.O.M.P. designation in 2022 following her thesis on global osteopathy and irritable bowel syndrome. Her approach emphasizes precise manual therapy, global assessment, and supporting the body’s natural capacity for balance and recovery.
