Kendra began to massage at a young age as a way to comfort those around her. Over time she realized this was her passion and chose to pursue a career as a massage therapist through the Kikkawa College Massage Therapy Program. Here she excelled in human anatomy and pathophysiology and discovered the depth of her passion for the human body and movement. Since graduating she has experienced working with many conditions such as postural dysfunction, headaches, overuse injuries, digestive conditions, pre & postnatal, common musculoskeletal conditions, neurological disorders, sports injuries and chronic pain and stress management. Kendra understands that each person is unique and uses a variety of techniques to achieve treatment goals. These include, but are not limited to; myofascial release, neuromuscular therapy, Swedish massage and trigger point therapy. She encourages clients to take an active role in their health and can provide stretches and strengthening exercises that will promote recovery and prevent potential further injury.
Therapeutic massage is treatment that is more focused on dealing with a specific issue or injury. The pressure and technique will vary depending on the individual, but the goal is resolution of the issue. It is especially helpful for chronically tense and contracted areas such as stiff neck, back and shoulders, TMJ, Sciatica, Tendonitis, and other overuse injuries. The treatment can be uncomfortable, so communicate with your therapist during the treatment and to report any lasting discomfort post-treatment. For treatments longer than 60 min, please call 613-830-1380 to book.
