Hi, I'm Travis Cuddington.
I grew up in Lumsden, Saskatchewan doing what most kids do. Playing recreational and competitive sports and enjoying time outside in both summer and winter.
After completing my Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology at the University of Saskatchewan, I went on to complete the 7-year Osteopathic program at the Canadian School of Osteopathy Manual Practice - Vancouver Campus. Earning both a Diploma in Osteopathic Manual Practice (D.O.M.P.) and a Diploma in Science of Osteopathy (D.Sc.O.).
Contained within the program was a 2-year thesis where I investigated the approach and contributions of the noted American Osteopathic elder, Dr. Robert Fulford, to the energetic priniciples of Osteopathy. Following the training in Vancouver, I undertook postgraduate studies with the noted French Osteopath, René Briend D.O., looking at the Biodynamic and Biokinetic teachings of Osteopathy. I am a member of the governing association of Osteopathic Practitioners in BC: OsteopathyBC.
Part passion and part design, my training, thesis and experience have offered me the background and opportunity to work extensively with newborns, pre and post pregnancies (both expectant parents), children, teens, as well as adults and the elderly. I work with people of all ages and stages of life, young and old, professional and non - professional athletes and weekend warriors. Whether they are experiencing chronic complaints or simply want to improve overall health and wellbeing.
In addition to my background in Kinesiology and Osteopathy, I have been a student of yoga since I was 16. A combination of the above are part of what inspire my treatment and thinking style.
My wife Rebekah, also an Osteopathic Practitioner, and I owned and operated North Okanagan Osteopathy in Vernon for three years. We recently moved to Campbell River to be closer to the ocean. I consider myself to be a life-long learner and when I am not treating, I can be found spending time exploring the outdoors on foot, bike and board with Rebekah, our son, and our Golden Retriever, Bagheera.
Thank you for reading!
