David Laurin Osteopathy and Athletic Therapy, Victoria, BC

I graduated from Concordia University in 2006 with a Bachelor of Science (Athletic Therapy Specialization). Following graduation, I accepted a postition as the trainer for the Banff Hockey Academy, where I enjoyed working with athletes from all over the world. In 2007, I opened Banff Alpine Sports Clinic, where I treated athletes as well as patients I saw voluneering with the orthopedic surgical team in Banff.
I've always had a passion for understanding things through and through and I felt I needed to further my training to better understand the human body. In 2008 I decided to move to Victoria to pursue a 5-year post-graduate diploma at the College d'Etudes Osteopathiques in Vancouver (more about Osteopathy below). For four years, I worked in a busy clinic, as well as with the Cowichan Rugby and Football Club and Rugby Canada. I also enjoy mentoring students of the Bachelors of Athletic and Exercise Therapy.
Since October 2012 I've been happy to welcome patients in my own clinic, where I offer osteopathy-based manual therapy in conjunction with corrective exercise therapy. I have a Diploma of Osteopathic Manual Practice having completed 5 years of studies and a thesis titled: Quantifying the effects of osteopathy on brainwaves: correlating EEG patterns and Still Point Occurrences.
