An Integrative Approach to Mind-Body Healing

About Bob DeLuca

Bob DeLuca is formally trained in Osteopathic Medicine with over 20 years of practice, specializing in advanced hands-on body therapies. By combining his deep understanding of the body’s natural healing wisdom with a natural, intuitive approach, Bob is able to connect with the body on a profound level. This allows him to guide clients toward healing that extends beyond physical pain, addressing emotional and spiritual well-being as well. 

Bob’s journey into the healing arts began at the Canadian College of Osteopathy and the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy, where he learned to work with the body in harmony with its natural rhythms. Through years of study and hands-on experience, he has developed a deep understanding of the body’s wisdom and healing potential. This understanding now shapes his practice, which is grounded in the principles of precision, awareness, and a receptive connection to the body’s signals. By using a variety of diagnostic techniques, Bob can assess the body’s mobility from the whole body down to the smallest nerve or blood vessel. This allows him to uncover underlying issues that might not be immediately apparent, such as how headaches could stem from hip dysfunction or how frozen shoulders may relate to lung, rib, or liver restrictions. His ability to tune into these subtle cues is what makes his work so effective.

Bob’s clients often describe their experiences as “hard to explain”, yet deeply transformative. Many have shared that “he just knew what to do” and felt like “he was communicating with my body.” Dr. Bob’s combination of scientific knowledge and intuitive touch allows him to tailor each session to the individual, addressing both physical pain and the underlying emotional and spiritual aspects that may be contributing to the condition.

Bob is certified in several powerful, cutting-edge modalities that complement his Osteopathic Manual Therapy practice like Softwave Shockwave Therapy, Huber 360 Movement Lab, and more.  Whether you're seeking relief from pain, recovering from injury, or looking to improve your overall health, Dr. Bob works with you to uncover the root of the issue and support your body’s natural healing process.

Some of the primary modalities that influence Dr. Bob's work include:

  • Cranial Osteopathy (also known as CranioSacral Therapy) – A deep, biodynamic approach that embraces the body's natural rhythms to address physical and emotional tension.

  • Brain Therapy – Working directly with neurons, glymphatics, and other structures of the brain.

  • Lymph Drainage Therapy – Manual mapping of the lymphatic system to detect and reroute compromised flow.

  • Bone Marrow Work – Often applied to immune system dysfunction and allergies.

  • Visceral Manipulation – An osteopathic method for working with the organs and related structures to relieve tension and dysfunction in the body.

  • Neural Manipulation – A gentle, specific technique for working directly on nerves to restore balance and ease.

  • Additional influences include years of osteopathic training and, most of all, the people Dr. Bob works with, who are his greatest teachers.
