He stays active through strength training and Muay Thai, which complement his ongoing interest in rehabilitation, movement, and long-term health.
Registered Massage Therapy is a discipline that uses manual therapy to help alleviate pain and address underlying muscular issues. Our team of professional RMT's will assess for any restrictions, pain, or dysfunction. From there our therapists will address their findings with manual therapy to help alleviate any pain, tension, or restrictions with a combination of different modalities. Finally they will attend to the needs of the patient through education and the integration of movement.
