Adam Blackwood

Registered Massage Therapist (RMT), Manual Osteopathic Student

Adam’s interest in manual therapy began after a serious back injury he sustained after a fall down a flight of stairs. Numerous Doctors helped mediate pain with medication but still left him having to walk with a cane at the age of 19. It was at this time that he was recommended to so 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 a with honours in 2016 Adam then began his professional career as a Massage Therapist working with patients to promote health and rehab.

Immediately after graduating the Massage Therapy program he enrolled into the 5 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 root cause of pain and not just treating the presenting symptoms. Adam is due to graduate in 2022.

He loves working with patients in acute pain or those suffering from more chronic conditions like migraines, digestive problems repetitive use injuries and postural problems.
