Alison Aspen graduated from the West Coast College of Massage Therapy in 2007. Since then, she has focused her practice on the rehabilitation of soft tissue injuries. In 2015 she felt the need to explore deeper into educating herself about the body. She enrolled and completed the 5 year Manual Osteopathy program in Vancouver, B.C.

Alison is now an Osteopathic Manual Practitioner and a Registered Massage Therapist in B.C.

Alison is dually licensed and a member of Osteopathy B.C. and the CMTBC. This training has given her a much more complex understanding of the body and its connections. Her goal is to find the root cause of why pain or discomfort is present within the body. This approach looks at the body as a whole. Through a thorough assessment and evaluation, these techniques aim to create symmetry and mobility within the body.

Alison uses techniques such as myofascial release, cranial sacral therapy, visceral release, joint mobilizations, muscle energy and direct muscular release techniques. Conditions that can benefit from this approach include headaches, sprains and strains, digestive issues, chronic pain, arthritis, asthma, pregnancy and postpartum concerns, postural issues, sciatica, concussions, whiplash, and many more. Alison has also spent time teaching at the Kootenay Columbia College of Integrated Health Sciences mentoring the upcoming BCRMT students..

Alison uses a blend of techniques incorporating her education as a Registered Massage Therapist and a Manual Osteopath. Please note there is no oil used in her treatments. Please come wearing loose comfortable clothing for the assessment and treatment. Alison uses a more biodynamic approach while treating which can involve the movement of the body and limbs. The patient stays dressed throughout the appointment to ensure the comfort and efficiency of the treatment.
