Nathan Lalli, RMT 
Registered Massage Therapist  

Nathan Lalli trained in Massage Therapy at West Coast College of Massage Therapy, Victoria campus, graduating as class representative and Valedictorian. After completing the western medicine model Massage Therapy he continued to pursue knowledge and experiences to further assist in the healing of others. A natural ability and passion led him to further his repertoire in such Osteopathic techniques as Craniosacral Therapy, Ligamentous Articular Strain and Functional Technique. A search to further understand the interaction of mind-body-spirit has recently immersed Nathan in the work of Moshe Feldenkrais, the creator the Feldenkrais Method®. In his approach Nathan attempts to remove the concept of “doing” to the human system. With a strong belief in the self-corrective capacity of the body, he facilitates “getting out of the way,” of this capacity. Habit, trauma, or repetitive movements teach us to move and continue to move in dysfunctional (much of the time painful) patterns. Gently releasing dysfunctional patterns and assisting the creation of new (or forgotten), easier patterns, creating a space to allow the natural healing forces of the human organism to reassert itself. Currently training in the Feldenkrais Method of Somatic Eduacation®™ Nathan continues to grow and deepen his approach to body therapy.   Massage Therapy info Link

In addition to her academic accomplishments, Dr. Bozek is a competitive triathlete. *Fluent in English and French languages. Services:  Dr. Bozek's approach is to treat the "person with the problem" rather than the "problem". What this means is that she uses chiropractic adjustments to unblock the body's potential to heal itself. Dr. Bozek strongly believes in a multidisciplinary approach to health.  Applied Kinesiology Applied Kinesiology is a form of diagnosis that involves the testing of muscles to determine the functionality of a person's body rather than just using educated guesses. In general, the applied kinesiologist finds a muscle that tests weak and then attempts to determine why that muscle is not functioning properly. The practitioner will then evaluate and apply the therapy that will best eliminate the muscle weakness and help restore the healing process. Therapies utilized can include specific joint manipulation or mobilization, various myofascial therapies, cranial techniques and various reflex procedures.

ArthroStim® The Arthrostim is a wonderful electromagnetic adjusting device which offers maximum patient comfort during the correction of spinal problems.   Many patients prefer this method of correction as it is extremely gentle and does not involve the “twisting or popping” commonly associated with chiropractic care. Dr. Bozek has used this tool with great success with infants, children, adolescents, adults, professional athletes, the frail and infirm, and the elderly. Foot assessment and custom shoe fitting Dr. Bozek uses principles of Applied Kinesiology to determine if footwear is suitably matched to the individual. Dr. Bozek helps patients to correct foot biomechanics in order to restore health and increase performance. She also recommends to wear Barefoot ScienceTM insoles when appropriate to strength your feet muscles.
