About Me

Colin Harris is a 2000 graduate of a Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine program in British Columbia and is a Registered Acupuncturist and Certified in Sports Medicine Acupuncture. Colin also has a Diploma in Osteopathic Manual Practice. Colin integrates neuro-based therapies into his practice such as Neurokinetic Therapy and Square 1 System. Colin is also a registered nurse with a Masters in Nursing with acute care medical experience. This brings a unique perspective to Colin's practice.

Colin takes an holistic approach to the body assessing and integrating various systems in the body and how they respond and interact with each other blending both neuro-based and manual osteopathic techniques to help eliminate pain and restore balance.

Tension patterns from injuries, surgery, adhesions, illness, postural imbalances and other traumas have a cascade of effects for which our bodies must compensate. The nervous system can experience a threat response to joint load, position or ground reaction forces. Colin works to identify and correct these threat responses. Through his unique combination of modalities Colin encourages your own natural mechanisms to improve functional and structural balance, relieve the negative effects of stress and enhance mobility and performance.
