About me:
Hi, my name is Chris and
I am an RMT offering massage therapy in Georgetown. I graduated from Humber College in 2022 with an Advanced Diploma in Massage Therapy. I am commited to evidence-based practice, understanding and helping resolve pain issues and improving wellness.
After becoming a Massage Therapist I completed McMaster University’s 300 hour Contemporary Medical Neurofunctional Acupuncture program Certificate in 2023.
I am dedicated to providing exceptional care and ensuring optimal outcomes for each valued client by taking ongoing education courses and staying up to date with the latest research about manual therapy and pain. I look forward to meeting you to help you address you’re personal wellness goals.
I am experienced in delivering deep tissue massage when appropriate, along with lighter, more relaxing techniques, and everything in between. I have provided massage therapy to a diverse range of clients, including those with active or sedentary lifestyles, office workers, children, pregnant women, and individuals managing physical or emotional challenges
Techniques and modalities I can include in a session
Swedish Massage Techniques: Swedish massage techniques encompass various methods that involve kneading, compressing, or applying rhythmic pressure to the tissue layers. Two primary techniques include effleurage—long, sweeping strokes—and petrissage—short, circular kneading motions. These techniques can be relaxing and can help improve circulation and may help reduce pain.
Myofascial Release Techniques: Myofascial release targets the fascia which is a type of conective tissue which surrounds muscles and can make them feel tight. Using gentle, sustained pressure, myofascial release techniques reduce muscle tension and can enhance flexibility in muscles
Trigger Point Techniques: Focuses on relieving tight, painful areas within muscles known as trigger points. By applying targeted pressure into more superficial and deeper layers of muscle tissue, it reduces muscle tension and alleviates pain, enhancing mobility.
Joint Mobilization: A hands-on therapy technique used to improve joint function and relieve discomfort. By applying gentle, sustained or oscillating pressure to a joint and moving it within its natural range of motion. This can reduce pain, stiffness, and tension while enhancing flexibility and range of motion.
Neurofunctional Medical Acupuncture: This type of acupuncture involves inserting fine needles into specific points on the body that correspond to nerve pathways, muscles, and other affected. The needles may be manually manipulated or stimulated with electricity to modulate abnormal nervous system activity. This approach has been shown to enhance nerve and muscle function, reduce pain, alleviate muscle tension, and improve overall physical performe by combining traditional acupuncture methods with modern scientific understanding.
Heat Hydrotherapy: Using damp hot towels or a heat pack I will offer to to warm up specific areas of the body to promote. Heat can help to relax stiff muscles. This method can alleviate pain, reduce muscle spasms, improve circulation and prevent discomfort after treating trigger points.
