Welcome to Life in Motion. Care for chronic and persistent pain when traditional approaches haven’t been enough.

This is a specialized clinical practice for adults experiencing chronic and persistent pain that hasn’t fully resolved with traditional approaches. The focus is not just on managing symptoms, but on helping you understand and change how your pain is being generated so you can reduce sensitivity, restore movement and get back to living with more ease and confidence. Care is delivered through a structured, phased process that integrates osteopathic care with nervous system based approach to recovery.

If you’re unsure where to start, book an Initial Osteopathic Assessment for general concerns, or a Comprehensive Assessment & First Session if you’re dealing with ongoing or persistent pain.

If you’re specifically interested in the Life in Motion Program for chronic or persistent pain, you can begin by booking a Comprehensive Assessment & First Session. This initial appointment is an in-depth evaluation and the starting point of the program, where we begin addressing your pain and determine the best path forward.

Life in Motion also offers a monthly community education workshop, Understanding Your Pain, designed to help individuals better understand persistent pain, the nervous system, and common patterns that can keep pain cycles going. Workshop information and registration can be found under programs and workshops.

Please note: Life in Motion is an adult-focused practice and does not currently offer pediatric services. If you are seeking care for a child, please email ashley@lifeinmotionosteopathy.ca and you will be connected with a trusted colleague.

Ashley Pehar is an osteopathic manual practitioner and creator of the Life in Motion Program, a structured approach for people living with persistent pain, tension, fatigue, and nervous system-related symptoms.

Her work integrates osteopathic manual therapy, Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), pain neuroscience, and nervous system-based approaches to help people better understand and work with chronic primary pain.

Many of Ashley’s patients have tried multiple treatments, received unclear answers, or feel stuck in cycles of flare-ups, fear, overprotection, and exhaustion. Her approach focuses on helping the nervous system regain safety, flexibility, and capacity over time.

Ashley has completed Mastery Training in Pain Reprocessing Therapy and is listed on the official Pain Reprocessing Therapy practitioner directory. She brings over 15 years of experience across healthcare, movement, clinical research, and osteopathic practice.

If you’re interested in working together, begin by booking a Comprehensive Assessment & Initial Treatment session to determine whether the Life in Motion approach is the right fit.
