Susan Cook, DOMP, RMT, Pilates
Susan is a former professional dancer who graduated from the Royal Winnipeg Ballet in 1994, and danced as a ballerina in Canada, Scotland and China. Dancers often experience repetitive strain injuries, and this is where Susan's fascination with wellness and the body began.
During her career as a dancer, Susan experienced several injuries herself including: tendonitis and pain in her ankles, knees, hips, and low-back. One of her most debilitating injuries was a broken fifth metatarsal due to a leap that launched beautifully, but landed badly. Luckily the bone healed and Susan was able to return to dancing en pointe with support from Physiotherapists.
This story of injury and pain is commonplace. It can happen during athletic activity, at work and or anytime throughout life - especially as we age and cease to be physically active. Osteopathy supports healing, resiliency and vitality in the body, so people who have experienced an injury are able to return to the activities they love.
Susan is a member of the Nova Scotia Association of Osteopaths (NSAO) and the Massage Therapy Association of Nova Scotia (MTANS). She enjoys helping people prevent disease through moving with greater ease.
Additionally, she is a Stott Pilates Instructor. Pilates enhances core stability and mobility. The mat work and rehab reformer (specialized Pilates equipment) complements Osteopathy, injury prevention and rehabilitation.
Supporting people to be proactive in their health through movement in Nature is essential. Because of this, she volunteers locally with and supports the much-loved sections of the Trans Canada Trail along the Eastern Shore, which is part of the Halifax Active Transportation system.
Susan is also a certified Pilates instructor and offers 1:1 Osteopathy+Pilates sessions at Scotia's satellite clinic within The Space Pilates & Mindful Movement.
