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.
