ABOUT KOVA
A clinic built around recovery, movement and long-term resilience.
Kova began with a belief that good care deserves time.
Time to listen. Time to understand. Time to look beyond the place that hurts and consider the person as a whole; their story, their movement, the demands of everyday life, and the things they hope to return to.
From that belief came Kova Manual Therapies: a clinic where osteopathy, physiotherapy, and massage therapy come together around a shared philosophy of thoughtful, individualized care. A place intentionally removed from the feeling of being rushed through an appointment or reduced to a symptom. Instead, Kova offers something more conscientious, a space where people can feel heard, understood, and take an active role in their recovery.
At the heart of Kova is resilience. The body is constantly adapting to movement, work, injury, stress, and everyday life. Our role is not simply to address symptoms, but to understand what may be influencing how someone moves and feels, and to support better function and adaptability over time.
That begins with curiosity. We want to understand not only what brought you through our doors, but what matters beyond them: the work you need to do, the activities you want to return to, and the life you want your body to support.
Our care is grounded in evidence-informed assessment, skilled hands-on treatment, movement, education, and honest conversation. Above all, it is collaborative. You should understand what we find, why we approach your care the way we do, and what you can do between visits to keep moving forward.
Kova was created to be more than a place to receive treatment. It is a place to restore balance, build resilience, and return with confidence to the life you want to live.

André MacNair
Osteopathic Manual Therapist
André MacNair is an Osteopathic Manual Therapist who provides care across the lifespan, from childhood through adulthood and into older age. His approach is grounded in the core osteopathic principles of body unity, self-regulation, and the relationship between structure and function. Treatment is always tailored to the individual, with attention to how the whole body contributes to health, pain and recovery.
André works with a wide range of concerns, including chronic and acute pain, sports-related injuries, motor vehicle accidents, TMJ dysfunction, and functional issues involving the digestive and urogenital systems. His treatments focus on identifying and addressing neuromuscular and structural imbalances using appropriate hands-on osteopathic techniques.
Initial appointments typically include a thorough case history, visual observation, range-of-motion assessment, and orthopedic and osteopathic testing to determine the most appropriate treatment approach. When applicable, André may also recommend simple exercises or self-care strategies to support rehabilitation and long-term improvement.
Central to André's practice is the osteopathic understanding that the body functions as an integrated whole. By assessing how different systems interact, he identifies underlying contributors to pain or dysfunction, supporting the body's natural capacity for balance and healing, either through treatment or by guiding patients toward additional care when necessary.
