I am currently in my fourth year of Osteopathic studies of a part time program in Halifax. It has been incredible to treat people from different walks of life. From teachers to paramedics, office workers, heavy equipment operators, fishermen, carpenters, nurses and athletes. Every client has taught me something new and the daily demands on everyone’s body is so different that it makes this a very interesting career. I opened my clinic in Cheticamp in 2007, and it has been really amazing to become part of this wonderful community. As a Registered Massage Therapist and Registered Acupuncturist, I hold memberships in good standing with the Massage Therapy Association of Nova Scotia (MTANS) and the Maritime Association of Registered Acupuncturists (MARA). Currently I am in my last year of a four year part-time program to become an Osteopath through the College of Osteopathic Studies in Halifax and I will be finished with my studies in 2026. There were a few life experiences that led me into this profession. As a young child I experienced a lot of headaches and intestinal pain. Conventional treatments were unfortunately not helping, but an alternative health care practitioner made all the difference in my symptoms with a combination of Acupuncture treatments and a suggestion of a specific change in my diet. I was always a competitive athlete in various sports. I played soccer for the Nova Scotia provincial team and the Saint Mary’s University varsity team. Several injuries prevented me from competing at times and treatments from Physiotherapists and Massage Therapists helped me get back on the field. This created a further curiosity in anatomy and health and sparked an interest in this career. I know how difficult it is when you cannot enjoy the activities you love, and I want to get you back on track as soon as possible. Some of my favorite activities are soccer, badminton, working out, running, cross country skiing, surfing and photography. My wife Cecilia and I are avid hikers and we enjoy gardening and healthy eating. Please reach out to me if you have any specific questions or would like to schedule your appointment. Be well,
Roman
