History
Len Balogh and Lori Lounsbury have always worked from a therapeutic perspective, and in 2001 when they opened the Northern Institute of Massage Therapy to train others in these advanced techniques. Of special interest was the advanced osteoarticular techniques called Lensen™ taught in a self-published textbook to second year students. During this time, Lori and Len continued to learn, refine and identify more techniques to help those clients with chronic pain. There were also utilizing concepts in the orthopedic, chiropractic and physical therapy fields when they realized that Osteopathy was the basic forerunner for all of them. After extensive study and clinical practice, they established the National Manual Osteopathy College in 2012 – the first Manual Osteopathic College in Western Canada.
They are the founding board members of the National Manual Osteopathic Society, which was established to provide an avenue for graduates of National Manual Osteopathy College to obtain operating insurance and 3rd party billing privileges.
Len continues to provide Manual Osteopathic techniques and Lori is the program content advisor for NMOC.
