When she is not treating clients she can be found out and about with her two dogs, or trying her hand at various sporting events, from olympic weightlifting to running.

Adam Blackwood

RMT

Adam Blackwood’s interest in manual therapy began after a serious back injury he sustained as a result of a fall down a flight of stairs. Numerous doctors helped mediate pain with medication but this still left him having to walk with a cane at the age of 19. It was at this time that he was recommended to go see an osteopath. After a couple sessions he regained the ability to stand and walk without aid, and had a substantial reduction in pain.

Extremely fascinated with the process that helped regain his mobility, Adam decided to enroll into the Massage Therapy program offered at the Canadian College of Massage and Hydrotherapy in Halifax. Graduating with honours in 2016, Adam then began his professional career as a massage therapist working with clients to promote health and rehabilitation.

Immediately after graduating the Massage Therapy program he enrolled in the five year osteopathy program offered through the College D’Études Ostéopathiques. This program offers an in depth look into the visceral, musculoskeletal and craniosacral systems with the goal of treatment being the discovery of the root cause of pain rather than treating the presenting symptoms. Adam is due to graduate in 2022.

Over the past five years, Adam has been developing a therapeutically focused approach to treatment by blending a variety of osteopathic techniques into his current massage practice. He loves working with clients in acute pain or those suffering from more chronic conditions like migraines, digestive problems, repetitive use injuries and postural problems.

Adam is a member of good standing of the Massage Therapists and Wholistic Practitioners Association of the Maritimes.
