Julie assesses and treats using a manual therapy hands-on approach combined with her knowledge of functional movement. Clients can expect treatment sessions to be 30-45min, which are typically a combination of manual therapy, functional movement education, exercise progression, education, and modalities (including Dry Needling & Laser therapy). Her goal with treatment is not only to offer pain relief but to also help her clients return to any activities in daily life that their injury/pain has affected. Julie’s goal is for each of her clients to return to their lives empowered with knowledge and with greater physical capability than before they were injured.

Currently, Julie is taking additional courses on the area of pelvic health on the topics of Cesarean Birth & Rehabilitation, and Non-Internal Pelvic Health. Julie’s interest on the connection between pelvic pain/dysfunction and musculoskeletal conditions has increased over the last few years, especially with so many women not receiving sufficient rehabilitation nor physical education after having children. While not wishing to offer internal therapy, she really wants to address and incorporate pelvic health issues within treatment and offer comprehensive care to those whose lives are negatively impacted.

Outside of work, her time is split between working in her vegetable garden and spending time at the gym. Julie can often be found at Cole Harbour Place going to bootcamp, playing squash with her husband, or improving her swimming! For mental health she loves running outside and going for walks with her husband. One of the many reasons Julie loves to work at PROTx is she can walk back and forth to home and consequently spend more time just enjoying being outside.

Originally from Beaver Bank, Nova Scotia, Julie graduated from Dalhousie University in 2017 with a Master of Science Degree in Physiotherapy. Prior to completing her physiotherapy degree, she originally pursued a career in engineering and has her Bachelor of Science and Master of Applied Science degrees in Civil Engineering.

Julie has continued her education with the following postgraduate courses: Level 1 Advanced Orthopaedic Manual and Manipulative Physiotherapy, Smart Seminar’s Certification in Biomedical Dry Needling, Shirley Sahrmann’s Intro to Movement System Impairment Syndromes of the Lumbar Spine, Hip and Shoulder, and Smart Seminar’s Thoracic Manipulative Therapy. In 2020, she completed the School of Structural Therapy’s courses in Lumbosacral & Pelvic Soft Tissue Techniques, Cervical Soft Tissue Techniques, Upper & Lower Extremity Soft Tissue Techniques, and Scapulothoracic Soft Tissue Techniques. She also has further postgraduate training in treating concussion/post-concussion syndrome and has treated these clients regularly over the last 3.5 years. Julie truly enjoys helping people suffering from persistent pain conditions, and has worked extensively with these clients for years.

Kenton’s passion for Traditional Chinese Medicine began at age 14 when he began studies in Kung-Fu.

Kenton graduated from the Alberta College of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine in Calgary in 2007 with a diploma in Acupuncture and a diploma in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Upon successfully passing Alberta acupuncture board examinations, he moved to Nova Scotia to open a practice and teach.

Kenton has taught for two colleges, was a guest lecturer at Acadia University, and has been requested for seminars by yoga instructors, the Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine Association of Nova Scotia, AOMA Graduate School of Integrative Medicine in Austin, Texas, as well as Nova Scotia & Saskatchewan Naturopathic Conferences.

He has written for AcupunctureToday.com, Qi Journal, Kung-Fu Tai Chi magazine and Wing Chun Illustrated.

Kenton practices Deep Tissue Lymphatic Acupuncture (DTLA), a style developed by Haruo Matsumoto and taught to him by Alexander Audette. Clients can expect to have Kenton in the room with them the entire time, where he will use palpation and client feedback to diagnose and treat. Only one needle is used at a time. Other modalities used may include gentle Shiatsu, cupping, herbal or dietary recommendations. DTLA has a four-fold effect: 1. Anti-inflammatory, 2. Analgesic, 3. Warms and softens the tissue, 4. Has a calming and sedative effect.

Acupuncture can be very effective for pain conditions as well as functional concerns such as mental-emotional, sleep, digestion, fertility, menopause, labour induction, etc.
