Andy Dobbs graduated with a bachelor of science in Kinesiology at the University of Lethbridge in 2015 and then graduated from the Vancouver Career College massage therapy program in 2017. He employs a Swedish-based massage style featuring deep glides along tight and sore muscle fibers. Andy’s extended knowledge of anatomy and sports medicine is utilized as he analyzes his patient’s biomechanics and treats muscles and joints. He believes in the importance in keeping up with recent research in manual therapy and pain modulation to provide the best possible care for his patients. Andy has extended education on Temporal-Mandibular Joint (TMJ) treatment to treat jaw pain. Additionally, he’s taken the Ligamentous Articular Strain Technique (L.A.S.T.) and Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Massage (I.A.S.T.M.) courses. In his free time, Andy enjoys playing fantasy football and baseball with his friends. Despite watching football and baseball religiously since he was 13 years old, he’s inexplicably terrible at fantasy sports and hasn’t won a championship in over 15 years. He often listens to NaS and A Tribe Called Quest as he believes 90’s New York-based hip-hop was the peak of the genre. After a long day at work and putting his two boys to bed, he crashes with his wife on the couch to enjoy a blend of petty drama and competition of “America’s 5th major sport” found in MTV’s “the Challenge”
