Sports Medicine Acupuncture, Manual Osteopathy, Neurokinetic Therapy This brings a unique perspective to Colin's practice.

Colin Harris is a 2000 graduate of a four year Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine program from the Shang Hai TCM College of BC, and is a Certified in Sports Medicine Acupuncture.Colin is also a Registered Nurse with a Masters in Nursing with acute care medical experience. Over the years Colin has continued to be influenced by Chinese Medicine philosophy and the principles of acupuncture and the movement of energy, but he has moved away from the use of acupuncture needles to a more hands-on approach. Colin takes an holistic approach to the body using the principles of Acupuncture but with needless techniques and blends them with classical osteopathic techniques into manual therapy. Colin works with the relationship between energy and structure. This in turn influences the whole musculoskeletal system. Through integrated bodywork, Colin uses various modalities to address functional and structural imbalances throughout the body including often neglected areas such as our organs. Tension patterns from injuries, surgery, adhesions, illness, postural imbalances and other traumas have a cascade of effects for which our bodies must compensate. Through Colin's unique combination of modalities he provides an opportunity for change which encourages our own natural mechanisms to improve functional and structural balance, relieve the negative effects of stress and enhance mobility. Colin has a special interest in working with clients committed to ongoing improvement in structural balance, increased function and mobility and working through the layers of long-standing tension patterns.

If your body’s stuck in stress mode, it’s harder to heal. We work through the layers of compensation and the nervous system disorganization to bring you out of fight-or-flight, create new and cleaner brain/body connections and integrate new movement patterns on the way to true recovery.

Most people are chasing their pain.
The Square 1 System identifies the neurological disruptions in how your brain perceives load and movement that actually create the pain.

At Vital Balance Therapy, we use this advanced brain-based movement framework to pinpoint specific joint actions your nervous system no longer feels safe or efficient performing. This often leads to muscle imbalance, compensation, and chronic tension. When clear sensory input is restored, the brain regains confidence, movement becomes smoother, strength improves, and pain often decreases immediately.

Square 1 is ideal for athletes and active individuals who want results that are fast, measurable, and rooted in how the brain controls movement, not guesswork or endless corrective exercises.

If you are looking for a treatment approach that finds the real problem and helps your body move the way it is designed to, this is for you.

Sleep isn’t optional—it’s when your body repairs tissues and resets the nervous system. 😴 Poor sleep increases inflammation and slows recovery. We help you get back on track.

If a muscle isn’t firing properly, you will have a hard time to build strength—no matter how much you train. 🔑 You might even be incorporating multiple compensatory muscles to get the job done which may lead to more dysfunction and pain. We find those sensory/motor gaps and reset the nervous system first, so you can finally make progress! Change the input > change the output!

Posture isn’t just about standing tall—it’s about nervous system regulation and balanced muscle function. It’s about restoring the nervous system's trust in load. The nervous system avoids what it does not trust. The correction lives in the avoided direction. We correct the root dysfunctions, find those sensory gaps, and map out new brain to muscle connections to improve posture naturally.

Manual Osteopathic Therapy helps with more than back pain! 🌿 It treats headaches, TMJ dysfunction, and postural imbalances—because everything in your body is connected.

01/08/2026

Your feet are the foundation of your posture and movement. 🦶 Dysfunction here can lead to pain in your knees, hips, and back. On the other hand knees can get caught in the middle of ankle and hip imbalances. So the point is, we test not guess about what is really going on in your body and the brain to movement connection. We restore balance from either the ground up or the top down.

Posture issues aren’t just about sitting up straight. 🧍 They’re often signs of deeper muscle imbalances and nervous system dysfunction. We treat the root cause, not just the symptom.

Pain isn’t something you have to “just live with.” There’s a reason it’s there, its compensating for something somewhere—and we’re here to find it and a new path to pain free movement. Lets make your brain feel safe again in functional movement.

Your first Neurokinetic Therapy (NKT) session is about identifying the root cause of pain, not just treating symptoms. 🔍 We use manual muscle testing, reset faulty patterns, correct imbalances in your system with a more neuro-based approach and give you the tools to move better.
