My name is Lana. I'm a Manual Osteopathic Practitioner and Registered Kinesiologist serving the Calgary and surrounding communities
I earned a Bachelor of Science in Human Kinetics, and after graduation, I embarked on an adventure abroad. In Europe, I encountered a manual osteopathic therapist for the first time, sparking my interest in the field. When the opportunity arose to become a manual practitioner, I eagerly pursued it.
Throughout my studies, I discovered how my body had compensated for years of actions, habits, and injuries. Compensation, when preventing stress overload, is beneficial; however, once my body became decompensated, pain emerged.
The body has an incredible ability to heal itself with the guidance of a manual therapist, helping you regain functional movement and balance in life. My goal is to create balance for you.
Together, we can identify where dysfunctions have occurred and work toward a pain-free life. Optimal body function allows you to live confidently, without the fear of limitations.
With a background in movement paired with manual osteopathic techniques, I focus on uncovering and addressing any functional, structural, or strength imbalances to support your journey to wellness.
