A Balanced Body
200B-3060 Cedar Hill Road, Victoria, BC, V8T 3J5
Mischa grew up in Victoria and fell in love with sports at a young age, playing beach volleyball for Team Canada and indoor volleyball for UBC before being sidelined with chronic injuries. Aiming first to fix his own body, Mischa started to learn everything he could about injury rehabilitation and prevention, following up his Bachelor’s of Human Kinetics with a Masters in Experimental Medicine. Through this process, Mischa began to see that to make the biggest changes, each person needs to be treated as a whole. For him this means looking at how the whole body moves, not just the painful areas, and also connecting how mental and emotional states affect the physical body. Mischa loves helping people have “aha” moments about their movement and health and connecting the dots to help restore pain-free movement, relaxation, and joy. Mischa is a Registered Kinesiologist, Fascial Stretch Therapist, Certified Health Coach, Registered Yoga Teacher, and Pneuma Breathwork facilitator, and has done extensive training and research with the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) and Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA). He’s worked with the Canadian Olympic Teams in Volleyball, Soccer, and Field Hockey and is currently furthering his education in the Osteopathic Manual Therapist program with the Canadian School of Osteopathy.
Registered Kinesiology helps to remove the underlying sources of tension and pain by identifying and correcting dysfunctional movement patterns. Starting with a comprehensive assessment of functional movement patterns, Kinesiology sessions involve both hands on treatment for joints, muscles, and fascia, and also therapeutic exercises to get the body moving without pain and through greater ranges of motion.
