Vital Balance Therapy

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.

Happy New Year! 🎉

At Vital Balance Therapy, we believe lasting performance starts with understanding your body — not pushing through pain.

In 2026, commit to smarter training, better recovery, and addressing the root cause of what’s holding you back.
Whether you’re chasing athletic goals or just want to move without pain, now’s the perfect time to start.

Let's focus on what is driving your discomfort, how the nervous system is disorganized from overloaded compensatory patterns in the brain and try a more neuro-based rehabilitation therapy at Vital Balance Therapy in 2026.

Let’s make this your strongest, most balanced year yet. ⚡

👉 Book your first session of 2026 now.

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.

Merry Christmas from Vital Balance Therapy! 🎁

Between training sessions, family gatherings, and year-end hustle, remember — recovery is just as important as performance.

Take this time to rest your nervous system, calm the mind, do something for you and give your body the reset it needs to move into the New Year stronger.

Here’s to balance, better movement, and pain-free days ahead. 💪

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.

12/18/2025

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.

12/11/2025

Chronic pain rewires your nervous system, keeping you stuck in a cycle of dysfunction and neurological disorganization. 🔄 We address both the brain and body to break that cycle and restore normal movement patterns. Let your brain feel safe again with how you move and load your joints.

12/04/2025

If your nervous system is stuck in fight-flight, your body can’t fully heal. 🧠 Does your body take every input as a threat to the system? Does it feel safe in that position, with that joint load with that movement? Is it over-compensating? We reset the system, find those sensory gaps, re-activate muscles, and establish new movement patterns that feel safe to your brain.

11/27/2025

Old scars—surgical, injury, or C-section—can neurologically block muscle activation. We use NeuroKinetic Therapy, Square 1 System and other Scar Release techniques such as Dolphin Neurostim to restore normal communication function and movement.

11/20/2025

Red Light Therapy boosts cellular energy, reduces inflammation, and speeds up recovery. 🔴 It’s a non-invasive way to enhance healing from injury or chronic pain. Inquire with your practitioner about Red Light Therapy and Pulsed Electro Magnetic Field (PEMF) Mat Therapy as an adjunct to your treatment. Integrated sessions of Sports Med Acupuncture and/or Manual Osteopathy (30 min) can now be combined with Red Light and PEMF Therapy (15 min) in one session.

Your vagus nerve plays a key role in calming the body and regulating recovery. 🔄 We use breathwork and manual techniques to stimulate this nerve, and integrate craniosacral therapy and other neuro-based techniques to help you shift out of fight-or-flight mode and into healing.

The longer pain sticks around, the more compensation patterns develop. 😣 Part of what makes us different a Vital Balance Therapy is that we target systems not symptoms. We look for sensory gaps and neuro dysregulation in how you function. We work through the layers to find and fix the root cause for lasting relief.

10/30/2025

A muscle that’s neurologically shut off won’t activate—no matter how many exercises you do. 🚫 It is not getting the signal to fire, instead it is using nearby muscles in compensation and that is the area you will typically feel discomfort. There are specific techniques in Neurokinetic Therapy and other neuro-based therapies to address this issue. We reset the system first, activate the muscle, then build strength.
