Hi, I’m Nikola, a Registered Massage Therapist. **My approach is simple: I focus on treating the root cause of an issue, even when it’s not where the symptoms are felt.** Instead of treating symptoms alone, I rely on manual and visual assessment to understand what the body is doing as a whole. The body often tells a clearer story than symptoms by themselves. For example: - Pain in the shoulder doesn’t always mean the shoulder is the problem — it could be coming from how the hip is moving and pulling through the body. - Pain in the sole of the foot (such as plantar fasciitis) doesn’t always mean the foot or shoes are the issue; it can be a rotation in the hip and loading the leg. While I always listen to my clients’ concerns, I base treatments on my assessment findings and clinical knowledge to create the treatment, and I explain what I’m doing and why. **My goal is effective, honest treatment — not quick fixes.**
