I’m Lewis! I am a registered massage therapist operating south of Calgary, Alberta. I am currently in my fourth year studying Osteopathy at the Canadian College of Osteopathy in Vancouver, BC. I treat using the methodology of Osteopathy and incorporate Cyriax friction massage. I have an intense passion for physiology and try to learn as much as I can on a daily basis. My Osteopathic College has brought me into a fascinating world of Anatomy, Physiology and Embryology which I love to share with whomever will listen.
As an avid rock climber, hiker and golfer when I’m not studying or working I spend my time with my Wife in the mountains hiking or climbing or at the driving range. Living where we do, we are blessed to have quick access to the mountains and plenty of golf courses.
My journey into manual therapy started from competitive sports and experiencing my fair share of injuries. I found great benefits from massage therapy as well as from getting Osteopathic treatments and it was part of my decision to become a RMT and to further my education into the Osteopathic world. It is surely one of the best decisions I have ever made. I’ve learned so much in the last 4 years and am keen to learn more.
