Didié (D.D.A.) Hamel-Jolette is an Athletic Therapist, Osteopath, and Strength & Conditioning Coach. He helps people overcome pain, resolve stubborn concussion symptoms, and unlock better movement and posture—especially when nothing else has worked.

Based in Revelstoke, BC, Didié lives the mountain lifestyle. He’s a  climber, backcountry skier, and all-around mountain mover—so he  understands the frustration of being held back by pain, even when you’re  doing everything “right.”

Through his 20s and early 30s, Didié battled persistent pain on his  left side—neck, back, knee, foot. He kept training hard—weightlifting,  soccer, skiing, running, climbing—while chasing recovery through  stretching, foam rolling, yoga, meditation, and corrective  exercises. He consulted respected practitioners across disciplines,  from physios to osteopaths. Some helped for a while, but the pain always  returned.

That frustration pushed him to study Athletic Therapy, and later  Manual Osteopathy, where he found a systems-based, hands-on approach  that aligned with how he felt the body should be treated. Osteopathy  taught him to work with the body’s natural intelligence—to  listen to structure, rhythm, and tension—not just chase symptoms.

The real breakthrough came in 2023, when he discovered Applied  Neurology through Scott Livingston and Matt Bush. After just a few weeks  of targeted neuro drills, he experienced his first two-month stretch  without pain in years. When symptoms eventually crept  back, he wasn’t discouraged—he was determined. This led him to complete  a full program with Next Level Neuro, layering brain-based tools onto  his osteopathic and movement background. That’s when everything clicked:  structure and signal working together, body  and brain in conversation.

From 2017 to 2020, Didié worked with high-performance athletes  through the Canadian Sport Institute. From 2022 to 2024, he supported  Canada’s National Triathlon Team leading up to the Paris Olympic Games.

Today, he brings that same high-level care to the community of  Revelstoke and beyond—helping outdoor athletes and active locals recover  faster, move better, and return to what they love. His integrated  approach blends manual therapy, neuroscience-informed  rehab, and performance coaching to deliver results that last.

Whether you’re chasing a summit, chasing your kids, or chasing relief  from pain no one else has solved—he’s been where you are, and he’s here  to help you move forward.

I am an Osteopathic Manual Practitioner based in the Central Kootenays in British Columbia, working in both Nelson and Salmo.

I believe in the healing power of movement for body, mind and spirit. Before training in osteopathy, I enjoyed a career as a professional dancer, dance teacher and Pilates instructor in both Montreal, QC and Nelson, BC.

I graduated from the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy, a 4.5 year full-time program that exceeds the World Health Organization’s top standard for osteopathic training, including 1500 supervised hands-on training, and 4200 hours of class time. 

I work to understand what is going on with your body so I can identify the root cause of your discomfort and address it. My approach is gentle and aims to appeal to the nervous system while being efficient and effective. The result is that your body benefits from improved alignment as we restore the balance of tension on your structure. With improved alignment, your nerve and blood supply are able to function better, you will find more ease and comfort in movement as your body continues to do what it was designed to do: self-heal and self-regulate.
