Nina Bartel

Myotherapy Massage

744 W Hastings St, 410, Vancouver, BC, V6C 1A5

Nina has been building her Registered Massage Therapy practice since graduating Langara College in 2018. Throughout her career, she’s worked with clients aged 7 to 90, treating a variety of conditions including fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, sciatica, thoracic-outlet syndrome and other nerve pain, concussions, acute sprains and strains, TMJD, surgical scars, and has provided pre- and post-natal care. She also has experience working with chronic stress, PTSD, anxiety, depression and autism. She goes the extra mile to make sure her clients feel comfortable, heard, and informed about the treatment they are receiving. Using a combination of trigger point release, Swedish massage and myofascial release, her intention is to alleviate pain while also inducing a state of relaxation. Appling a gentle yet firm pressure, she is focussed and patient with each area, paying attention to how the body responds. She takes a holistic approach to health care, and has a great understanding of how the body works and functions as a unit. She has weight-trained and done yoga for several years, and enjoys sharing this knowledge with her clients. She believes it is always possible to improve functionality and quality of life no matter the clients age or level of restriction. Through her treatments, her long-term goal is to educate her clients on how their lifestyle or work is affecting their body, and how to manage pain and stress by developing a movement and self-care practice that is realistic, effective, and enjoyable.
