Trina Cochrane

MOT, RMT

Manual Osteopathic Therapist, Registered Massage Therapist

After completing the 2200 hour Registered Massage Therapy program (Hon) at the Alberta College of Massage Therapy, I had the pleasure of working in both a spa and clinical settings over the years. I enjoyed the exposure to a wide variety of clients with many different dysfunctions.

The opportunity arose for me to continue my clinical education and therapy skills with the Manual Osteopathic Therapy program. It has since become a strong passion of mine to be able to work with and heal the body as a whole.

My approach:

Living an active lifestyle, I have often had to deal with injuries of my own. Always adamant that I would not accept pain and stiffness as the norm for my body. Instead, I became curious about the body and what it needs to heal. I wanted to ensure my future by taking ownership of my well being and health. This is the same approach that I take with all of my clients. With the same curiosity, I will assess the whole body. We will discuss not only the route issues, but a practical treatment plan. Working at getting you back to feeling your best. So you can get back to performing your best.
