Marie-Claire believes that health is found in the body when there is proper movement and alignment of all structures. She uses gentle yet effective treatment applications to calm the nervous system, unwind tension, and ensure that all parts of the body are well aligned and moving smoothly. Her goal in treatment is to free the nerves, blood vessels, and lymphatic fluid going to and from all the soft tissue, joints, and organs to allow for optimal function of the body as a whole.

Marie-Claire completed her training in classical osteopathy at the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy in Hamilton which follows a principles based curriculum. This allows her to create individualized treatments for each patient, specific to what their body needs. Her focus is on elevating the overall health of the entire body of each individual to address the needs of their injuries and conditions. The body has an innate ability to self-heal and self regulate, which can be disrupted by imbalances in the body. By balancing the tension throughout the body, Marie-Claire can help you on your journey to better health.

Prior to completing her osteopathic training, Marie-Claire studied Kinesiology at Queen’s University and worked as a personal trainer for many years. This began her curiosity, amazement, and respect for how the intricate systems of the human body work together to maintain health. Outside the clinic, Marie-Claire enjoys spending time hiking, skiing, kayaking, and exploring small towns looking for cute cafes, forever in search of the best chai latte.

Eric has expertise in Dizziness (Vestibular) Rehab, Dry Needling, Orthopaedics (FCAMPT status), Cranial Mobilization and CranioSacral Therapy, Visceral Manipulation, Sports Injuries and Concussion Rehab.

Eric obtained Bachelors and Masters degrees in Kinesiology and Sports Medicine. He then completed his Physiotherapy degree at McMaster University in 2001. After years of subsequent training Eric received his Diploma in Advanced Manual & Manipulative Therapy, thus is a Fellow with the Canadian Academy of Manipulative Physiotherapy (FCAMPT). http://manippt.org

Since joining in 2006, Eric loves being part of the Killens Reid team. He focuses his patient care not only through his Manual and Exercise Therapy, but also by several other methods: Having become a Functional Dry Needling Practitioner™ (see evidenceinmotion.com), Eric finds that his patients get even better success in achieving their functional goals and symptom relief. More recently, he has added Cranial Mobilizations (see doreenkillens.education), CranioSacral Therapy (see upledger.com), and Visceral Manipulation (see barralinstitute.com) which he realizes were the missing links in treating patients’ complex symptomatology. He has extensive experience in dizziness treatment and received his Certification in Vestibular Rehabilitation from Emory University in Atlanta. He is thus able to distinguish causes of dizziness and balance problems, and treats with repositioning techniques, adaptation / habituation / balance / vision exercises, plus manual therapy to the head, neck and abdomen. Also, following additional Concussion Rehab courses, he can effectively tease out different factors contributing to post-concussion syndrome, and treat them accordingly. Finally, his training in Running Injury Prevention and Treatment has simplified the return-to-run process.

A former Canadian Cross-Country Ski Team member, Eric keeps in shape with his family by skiing, cycling, running, swimming, paddling and singing!
