The goal of acupuncture is the promotion, maintenance and restoration of health and the prevention of illness. Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine come together as a powerful tool used to diagnose conditions based on current symptoms and complaints that the patient presents. Traditional Chinese Medicine defines perfect health as a state of balance. It views illness, disease and functional complaints as being due to an imbalance. The key to successful treatments is to shift a patient back to a place of equilibrium.

Chinese Medical theory states that the body is composed of 12 main meridians that regulate Qi (Energy) & blood though out the body. Irregularities in the circulation of blood and Qi lead to pain and disease. Treatment of disease and rebalancing of the body is accomplished through acupuncture. Fine needles are inserted into specific points on the body. Acupuncturists use their knowledge of the circulation of the body’s Qi to select points that will reduce pain and promote health.

Acupuncture needles are extremely thin; they range from 25-50 times thinner than a hypodermic needle. They are sterile and single use only. Most people describe the treatments as painless and relaxing, many people even fall asleep.

Osteopathic practitioners treat a wide variety of health problems throughout the whole body including the musculoskeletal, vascular, nervous and visceral system. They do not just treat the symptoms or areas of complaint: they treat the individual as a whole functional unit.

Some of the most common complaints that osteopathic practitioners are able to help with are:
neck and back pain, sports injuries, headaches, whiplash, postural problems, occupational injuries, sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, arthritis, knee and foot pain, pain during pregnancy and post partum care.

One of the goals of osteopathy is to bring the body to equilibrium. For athletes, this means preventing overloading and becoming injured. For non athletes, this means feeling better by not accumulating tension and poor posture that could result in other problems, like a chain reaction.

Seeing an Osteopathic Practitioner does not require you to be injured since it is beneficial to have your posture assessed to assure that the body is in proper equilibrium.

Marco has been a member of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association and the Orthopaedic and Sports Divisions since 2011. His physiotherapy practice focuses on the body as a whole. He demonstrates this by utilizing manual therapy and exercise prescription to correct and resolve muscle imbalances that lead to musculoskeletal injury and impairments, which alternatively can also lead to enhancements in performance. He also uses acupuncture and dry needling, taping and other modalities to help patients achieve their goals.

Marco’s main interest lies in concussion rehabilitation. Marco can empathize with individuals struggling with this condition, having had multiple concussions while growing up playing sports. This has led him to complete several courses specifically focused on the latest research and treatment strategies for mild traumatic brain injuries. In addition to his concussion training, Marco has also completed his advanced level vestibular training to treat conditions such as vertigo and dizziness. He is also a Certified Acupuncture Practitioner recognized by the Acupuncture Foundation of Canada Institute, and is certified in Functional Dry Needling by Kinetacore. Marco takes part in athletic therapy training and dedicates his time to treat and train semi-professional sport teams, such as the Westshore Rebels junior football team.

He is a firm believer that an active treatment plan is the key to a successful recovery. Furthermore, he is actively pursuing a wide range of post-graduate education courses to further his knowledge and clinical skills in manual therapy, exercise prescription, postural correction/re-alignment, and the treatment of various musculoskeletal impairments.

To keep active himself, Marco currently participates in strength training, road cycling, snowboarding, hiking, and the occasional round of golf.

Hi, I’m Elspeth.

I became an RMT because I’m fascinated with helping people transform how they feel and perform.

Over the years, I’ve seen and experienced how frustrating it can be to deal with injuries, recurring pain and chronic stress. I love how effective good, individualised care can be when it comes to helping people regain confidence and break the cycle of chronic symptoms.

My treatment style could be described as interactive, focused and intuitive. I aim to create an environment where each client feels at ease and truly listened to.

I use joint mobilisations, active and passive movement, and soft tissue work that involves slow, sustained holds on targeted areas. While treatment can elicit some strong sensations, I make sure to always work within the range of what feels safe and comfortable for each person.

When attending a treatment with me, clients are invited to bring loose sports clothes (eg. shorts and a sports bra) to their appointment. This is totally optional and gives us more options for movement and positioning if we need them.
