Inspine Therapy
Alvaro is a Registered Massage Therapist and graduate of the West Coast College of Massage Therapy program. He also holds a Bachelor of Kinesiology from UBC, where he developed a strong foundation in human movement, exercise science, and injury rehabilitation. He began his career as a Kinesiologist, primarily supporting ICBC and WorkSafeBC patients, before transitioning into case management. These experiences gave him valuable insight into both the clinical and insurance sides of rehabilitation and return-to-work recovery. Alvaro offers both relaxation-focused and therapeutic treatments. His techniques include relaxation massage, deep-tissue massage, trigger-point release, myofascial release, joint mobilizations, active soft-tissue release, PNF stretching, and active and passive stretching. He adjusts each treatment and level of pressure to the client’s comfort, needs, and goals. He has a particular interest in muscle tension, neck and shoulder discomfort, sports and overuse injuries, tension headaches, and muscular tension associated with migraines. Drawing from his kinesiology background, Alvaro also incorporates movement education, personalized exercise prescription, and practical home-care recommendations to support long-term recovery. Alvaro is known for his warm, patient-centred approach and strives to create a comfortable environment where clients feel heard and involved in their care. Outside the clinic, he enjoys badminton, soccer, basketball, and volleyball. Alvaro provides treatment in English and Spanish.
