About me:
Hi, I'm Chris, a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) based in Georgetown, Ontario. I offer professional massage therapy services with a focus on pain relief, injury recovery, and overall wellness.
I graduated from Humber College in 2022 with an Advanced Diploma in Massage Therapy and am committed to evidence-based practice. My approach is grounded in current research and tailored to help each patient feel and function better.
In 2023, I furthered my training by completing the 300-hour Contemporary Medical Acupuncture Certificate at McMaster University, enhancing my ability to treat pain and dysfunction through an integrative approach.
I’m passionate about delivering effective, client-centered care and achieving the best possible outcomes. I stay up to date with the latest research in manual therapy and pain science to ensure my treatments are both safe and effective.
Whether you're dealing with chronic pain, recovering from an injury, or simply looking to improve your overall well-being and relax, I look forward to working with you.
Techniques and Modalities Commonly Integrated into Treatments
Swedish Massage Techniques
Swedish massage involves a range of flowing and rhythmic techniques designed to relax the body and improve circulation. Two common methods are effleurage—long, gliding strokes—and petrissage—gentle kneading and lifting of soft tissues. These techniques are often deeply relaxing and can help reduce muscle tension and pain.
Myofascial Release
Myofascial release targets the fascia, the connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles. When fascia becomes tight or restricted, it can cause pain and limit movement. This technique uses gentle, sustained pressure to release tension in the fascia, helping improve mobility, reduce stiffness, and enhance flexibility.
Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger point therapy focuses on treating hypersensitive, painful “knots” within muscles. By applying precise pressure to these areas, the treatment can relieve referred pain, reduce muscle tightness, and restore range of motion. Trigger point therapy is especially helpful for clients dealing with chronic pain or repetitive strain.
Joint Mobilization
Joint mobilization is a gentle, hands-on technique used to improve joint function and reduce discomfort. It involves applying controlled movement and pressure within the joint’s natural range of motion. This can help ease stiffness, enhance mobility, and reduce pain in areas such as the neck, shoulders, hips, and spine.
Neurofunctional Medical Acupuncture
This contemporary approach to acupuncture targets specific nerves and muscle systems using fine needles. The needles may be manually or electrically stimulated to influence nerve activity and muscle function. Based on current neuroscience and clinical research, this technique can reduce pain, improve performance, and restore function by recalibrating the nervous system.
Heat Hydrotherapy
Moist heat—such as heated towels or warm packs—may be applied to targeted areas during your session to help loosen tight muscles, increase blood flow, and enhance overall comfort. Heat therapy can also support the effectiveness of deeper techniques like trigger point release by relaxing the tissues beforehand.
