Colin Harris completed a Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine from the Shang Hai Traditional Chinese Medicine College of BC in 2000. Colin is a Registered Acupuncturist, Certified in Sports Medicine Acupuncture. Colin also has a Diploma in Osteopathic Manual Practice and is registered with the ACMA and the College of Canadian Osteopaths.

Colin is also a Registered Nurse with a Masters in Nursing with acute medical experience. This combination brings a unique perspective to Colin’s practice.

Colin takes a holistic approach to the body treating the whole person and blends both acupuncture principles and classical and emerging osteopathic techniques. This whole-body approach provides a focused and specific individualized evaluation and treatment approach to everyone’s unique condition to restore three-dimensional balance and overall health and well-being. Colin treatment philosophy is always about the search for the root cause of your condition and never just chasing your symptoms around.

Colin’s assessment process may include AcuGraph digital imaging, manual muscle testing, motor point stimulation techniques used in sports medicine acupuncture, functional and postural assessment. Post treatment may include corrective exercises, or kinesio-taping.

Colin has the ability to use several non-needle techniques such as micro point stimulation or laser instead or in addition to needles.

Scar and adhesion release may assist in restoring inhibited muscle groups either from traumatic or surgical scar adhesions. Scar treatment can release the blockage of energy flow in addition to improving the actual appearance of scars.

The primary philosophy is not to chase a person’s pain symptoms by providing temporary relief, but to work to permanently resolve the root dysfunction or restriction causing the pain.

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 pain and discomfort and relieve the negative effects of stress and enhance mobility. The goal is to achieve vital balance with your body, mind and spirit.
