Yes, there are locations such as Naples in Florida, Scottsdale in Arizona and most towns in California where it is a lot easier to make it big as a manual osteopath. But if you focus on treating chronic pain effectively then you can make it big no matter where you are practicing osteopathy as chronic pain is everywhere and that is why we focus heavily on chronic pain education at National Academy of Osteopathy.
NAO student Vitalia,
who moved from Alberta to a tiny town in British Columbia (Canada) illustrates this point perfectly! She has a fully booked practice in a tiny town of just 1500 people! And she has done such a great job there that massage therapist Kassandra Michelle, from that same town also decided to study osteopathy after visiting Vitalia!
As a matter of fact, most students at NAO are patients and/or referrals from our alumni! And we are grateful to Vitalia for referring Kassandra. Our students love NAO!
We are specially proud of Vitalia and Kassandra as both have become landowners (they own over 80 acres of land in BC!) and now are self sufficient, growing their own food, using solar panels and wind turbines for electricity and taking water from a river and well. That is one beautiful life!
