About me:
Hi, my name is Chris, and I’m an RMT offering massage therapy in Georgetown. I graduated from Humber College in 2022 with an Advanced Diploma in Massage Therapy. I’m committed to evidence-based practice, helping resolve pain issues, and supporting overall wellness.
After becoming a Massage Therapist, I completed McMaster University’s 300-hour Contemporary Medical Neurofunctional Acupuncture Certificate in 2023.
I’m dedicated to providing exceptional care and achieving the best possible outcomes for each client. I continue to expand my knowledge through ongoing education and staying current with the latest research in manual therapy and pain science. I look forward to meeting you and helping you reach your personal wellness goals.
Techniques and modalities I can include in a session
Swedish Massage Techniques: Swedish massage techniques encompass various methods that involve kneading, compressing, or applying rhythmic pressure to the tissue layers. Two primary techniques include effleurage—long, sweeping strokes—and petrissage—short, circular kneading motions. These techniques can be relaxing and can help improve circulation and may help reduce pain.
Myofascial Release Techniques: Myofascial release targets the fascia which is a type of conective tissue which surrounds muscles and can make them feel tight. Using gentle, sustained pressure, myofascial release techniques reduce muscle tension and can enhance flexibility in muscles
Trigger Point Techniques: Focuses on relieving tight, painful areas within muscles known as trigger points. By applying targeted pressure into more superficial and deeper layers of muscle tissue, it reduces muscle tension and alleviates pain, enhancing mobility.
Joint Mobilization: A hands-on therapy technique used to improve joint function and relieve discomfort. By applying gentle, sustained or oscillating pressure to a joint and moving it within its natural range of motion. This can reduce pain, stiffness, and tension while enhancing flexibility and range of motion.
Neurofunctional Medical Acupuncture: This type of acupuncture involves inserting fine needles into specific points on the body that correspond to nerve pathways, muscles, and other affected. The needles may be manually manipulated or stimulated with electricity to modulate abnormal nervous system activity. This approach has been shown to enhance nerve and muscle function, reduce pain, alleviate muscle tension, and improve overall physical performe by combining traditional acupuncture methods with modern scientific understanding.
Heat Hydrotherapy: Using damp hot towels or a heat pack I will offer to to warm up specific areas of the body to promote. Heat can help to relax stiff muscles. This method can alleviate pain, reduce muscle spasms, improve circulation and prevent discomfort after treating trigger points.
