Still in Pain After Trying Everything Else?
You don’t have to keep chasing your symptoms. Get to the root of your pain with brain-based therapy and evidence-based acupuncture and osteopathy in Coquitlam.
If your pain keeps returning no matter what you try, it’s time for a different approach. The brain controls every movement in your body so the deficit is likely the communication between the nervous system and the body. At Vital Balance Therapy, we untilize brain-based rehabilitation such as Neurokinetic Therapy and Square 1 Sysem integrated with Manual Osteopathy, and Sports Medicine Acupuncture ®, to identify the true causes of dysfunction — not just where it hurts and to help your nervous system to feel safe with specific joint loads and positions again. Restore balance, improve movement, recruit more muscle motor control and experience long-term relief that lasts.

Eliminate Pain
Restore Functional Movement
Correct Postural Imbalances
Pain isn’t always where the problem starts.
Colin helps you identify and correct the root dysfunctions—so you can move freely, stay active, and live pain-free.
To truly eliminate pain, we must first identify what’s causing it. At Vital Balance Therapy in Coquitlam, Colin combines Sports Medicine Acupuncture®, Manual Osteopathy, and Neuro-based rehab techinques such as Square 1 System and Neurokinetic Therapy to uncover the source of dysfunctions, then restore proper functional movement and balance. These advanced methods address muscular, structural, and neurological imbalances, helping your body function at its best.
Healing isn’t just about structure, it’s about restoring functional balance across the entire body. Colin assesses how muscles, joints, and the nervous system communicate and respond to loads, identifying compensation patterns and hidden dysfunctions. Colin also integrates advanced level osteopathic techniques such as craniosacral therapy when indicated, or acupuncture to muscle motor points to increase strength and muscle fibre recruitment for a whole body approach. Treatment is customized to help your body move and perform optimally again.
Professional Associations
"I highly recommend going to see him...
I’ve been an athlete my entire life with countless injuries. When I started to get persistent back pain that I couldn’t just stretch and strength train out, I found Colin. He focuses on actually figuring out and addressing the root of the issue. After a few sessions with Colin and I finally had relief. I’d go to him once a week if I could."
