RMT
Christie has been working as a Registered Massage Therapist since 2017 and loves her job more every year. One of the things that she continues to be amazed about is that there is always something new to learn about the human body. Christie has found that keeping this in mind has helped to develop her approach to massage, prompting her to always look for ways to approach treatment in the way that is going to be best received by the individual.
Christie most often gives therapeutic massage treatments for the reduction of pain and/or inflammation. To that end she has taken continuing education courses through her association (the Massage Therapy Association of Manitoba - MTAM) such as:
-
Dermoneuromodulation: a slow and gentle approach to moderating pain. It is most appropriate to use with acute injuries, chronic nerve pain, and where anxiety is high.
-
Neurovascular Release: a technique that releases tension in nerve and blood vessel tissue, helping to reduce overall tension and especially the sensation of deep tension.
Christie is also happy to provide massage for the purposes of relaxation, maintenance of chronic tension, and prevention of flare-ups (such as can happen when someone has had a bad injury in the past or has an inflammatory condition).
Outside of work Christie’s favourite activities are reading, knitting, walking in the woods with her dog, and brewing new flavours of water kefir.

Dr. Kim Moran
Dr. Kim Moran has more than two decades of chiropractic experience treating patients of all ages and physical abilities—from newborns to nonagenarians.
Having grown up in Charleswood, Dr. Moran is pleased to open her own practice, Moran Chiropractic, operating out of Charleswood Chiropractic Office at 3404 Roblin Blvd.
A big believer in collaboration, Dr. Moran respects that her patients know their own bodies and uses open communication to help assess their needs and comfort levels.
To that end,Dr. Moran employs a number of techniques and tools in her chiropractic treatments—such as a drop pieces on the chiropractic table and an elevation table, instruments to adjust joints like the Activator and Arthrostim, or her hands to manually adjust joints of the spine, arms, hands legs and feet. However, she always gives patients final say on how the treatment proceeds as there are many options.
Dr. Moran believes that Teaching a patient how to identify what may have led to their complaint and how to avoid it in the future minimizes chronic recurrence of injuries. She gives patients the tools and homework they need to work on their own well being.
A former professional dancer, Dr. Moran understands how intense physical demands can tax the body, and also how chiropractic can help the body return to optimum condition. She understands that regardless of the pain the show must go on and we must continue living our lives fully and with purpose.
This is also why Dr. Moran works with a network of other health professionals from various fields in order to recommend the most effective, comprehensive treatment plans for patients.
In the time since Dr. Moran graduated from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto in 2000, she has built a strong following of dedicated patients who appreciate her intuitive approach, kind demeanour, and encouraging attitude.
