Christian has an Specialized Honours BA in Kinesiology (R.Kin), a degree from Sheridan College in Athletic Therapy (CAT) and a degree in Osteopathic Medicine from the Canadian College of Osteopathy.  His love of sport and the desire to help others has led him to become an Athletic Therapist for many years, and now an Osteopath.  Christian has been in clinical practice for 16years and has developed the passion and skill to treat the body as a 'whole' and not just the injured area.  In addition, he works to find the 'cause', whether it is chronic imbalances or injury and treat it.

Christian is here to help and serve each and every client. He is keen to educate himself on the latest techniques and treatments so he can grow and improve his established skills.  Christian believes in a holistic approach to treatment and that the practitioner helps the body achieve balance, it then has the ability to heal itself.  While working as an AT, Christian became very interested in the connection between the body's systems and how to treat them in an orderly manner for optimum healing.  Through his studies in Osteopathy, Christian feels very equipped to work together with other practitioners.  He feels that by providing 'cause related treatment' with a comprehensive caring approach builds a great community.
