Andrea is currently NOT accepting new patients for general, relaxation or full body massage. Andrea has been practicing massage therapy for 30 years after experiencing its positive effects as an Olympic swimmer for both chronic injury rehabilitation and for performance enhancement and recovery. She brings the belief that everyone has their own ‘performance’ journey, none more important than the next, as we strive to reach our potential within the daily demands and stresses placed upon our bodies and minds. Her massage techniques and pressures vary according to symptoms, dysfunctions or conditions presented and goals or outcomes desired. She uses a combination of techniques including fascial work, neurocentric massage, sports massage, lymph drainage, deep tissue massage, Somato Emotional Release, Cranial Sacral Therapy, Active Isolated Stretching, biomechanical taping, Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Manipulation and breath work. Andrea has experience working with grassroots, national, international and pro athletes and is currently part of the Integrated Support Team with Triathlon Canada and Swimming Canada Natation but also enjoys working with the varied rehabilitative and restorative needs of all patients, whether it be for work, play or life. Finding the sources of dysfunction or compensatory patterns while treating and providing feedback in order to decrease pain, prevent further overload and restore mobility and optimal function are some treatment outcomes. Don’t overcomplicate it! Subtle adaptations and changes over time can both create dysfunction but also correct dysfunction. Identifying and adapting corrective measures are an important part of massage therapy and self healing. Balance!
