PERFORMANCE & RECOVERY

ALL IN ONE PLACE

How We Work

1. Consultation

This includes a series of questions around your areas of concern and health history to understand how we can help

2. Assessment

We’ll be performing range of motion testing, palpation, postural examination, and injury-specific testing

3. Treatment Plan

We create a plan based on your level and type of injury/discomfort. This will include the number of sessions and type of treatment necessary

4. Reassessment

Progress review. This is where we evaluate if more treatments are necessary- if not, we’ll rebook monthly for maintenance

General Questions

Massage Therapy FAQ

What are the benefits of massage therapy?

Massages can help you relax, but it can do much more than that. First, massage therapy can help counteract all the sitting you do. It can also reduce muscle aches/pain, relieve headaches, improve recovery time, and help with sleep!

How often should I get a massage?

The frequency of massages depend on four main factors: your health condition, stress levels, physical activity levels, and budget. If you’re coming in with a chronic injury, engage in regular activity or have a high-demanding job, you might benefit from more frequent massages.

Is this covered by my insurance?

RMT sessions are covered by almost every insurance provider in BC. If you’re not sure, I can let you know!

Is massage therapy safe during pregnancy?

Prenatal massage can be a safe and effective way to manage some of the common discomforts of pregnancy, but it’s important to consult with your healthcare provider to ensure that massage therapy is safe for you and your baby.

All RMTs in BC are trained in prenatal massages.

What injuries can massage treat?

Massage therapy can treat a variety of musculoskeletal injuries. This includes strains/sprains, tendonitis (tennis/golfer’s elbow), carpal tunnel syndrome, frozen shoulder, low back pain, neck/shoulder pain, plantar fasciitis, and more. Don’t know if massage therapy can help you? Just ask!

What should I expect during my first massage therapy session?

During the initial consultation, we assess your health history and pain areas to create a treatment plan. We discuss which massage techniques would benefit you and how many sessions you may need. After consent, we begin treatment and end with reassessment and homecare.

Where is the RMT facility?

We are located in unit 147 at 3231 No. 6 Rd in Richmond BC.

I also offer in-home massage services for a minimum of one 90-minute session or two 60-minute sessions, with a flat travel fee of $50. Please contact us for further details regarding mobile or corporate massages.

*Corporate massage bookings require a minimum of 5 bookings.

Personal Training FAQ

Why hire a trainer?

If you’ve rewritten the same fitness goals year after year, it’s time you hire a trainer. A quality trainer becomes your support system for all things related to health, fitness, and exercise. I will be your friend, yet challenge you in ways your friends might not.

How long would it take to see results?

This depends on your starting point, fitness background, and genetics. You will typically start noticing real changes in the first month of training.

Should I train before or after work?

The winning method is consistency. Pick a time you know you’ll stick with.

Can I train with a friend?

Absolutely! I offer 1:1 personal training, semi-private, and group training.

Semi-private offers all the same benefits as personal training, but instead of working 1:1 with me, you will be working out alongside other semi-private clients (up to 2). Your workout will still be 100% individualized- unlike group training- where classes of 4-5 people are doing the same workout.

How many sessions do I need?

This depends on your current fitness level and goal! I offer 3, 6, and 12-month programs that are guaranteed to see results.

What do I bring to a training session?

Comfortable clothes (athletic or loose clothing), footwear with good support (runners or vans/converse), a water bottle, and any necessary medication.

Are nutrition services available?

    Stop stretching your IT band! The IT band is a th Stop stretching your IT band!

The IT band is a thick layer of fascia that supports and connects movement through your hip and knees. 

Lack of or improper warm ups, sudden increase in activity volume or intensity that requires a lot of hip movement- such as running or cycling- may cause tightening of the glutes and hip flexors. These muscles pull on the IT band, which may cause pain or dysfunctions.

The IT band doesn't miraculously contract on its own, which means that constantly stretching it will not cause it to release on its own either.

Try these activation exercises and stretches, and let me know if you feel a difference! If you've had persistent pain for more than a few weeks, however, it's time you seek a professional's help!

    You've probably heard terms like "myofascial relea You've probably heard terms like "myofascial release" or "fascial stretch therapy" before, or felt the effects of these therapeutic treatments... but what is it?

The definition of fascia has changed over the years, but fascia, put simply, is connective tissue. For our locomotive system to function, segments of our body need to be separated in order to serve a function. If your body was a house, fascial tissues are the walls, insulation, and flooring that creates rooms to serve a purpose.

Fascial networks are like highways, connecting your upper limbs to your trunk, and your trunk to your legs. More on the various fascial lines and related injuries later.

Stay tuned!

    For whatever reason, I find that most people negle For whatever reason, I find that most people neglect their feet. I'm not talking about hygiene, but rather, functionality.

Our feet is our portal to how we experience the world- through motion and sensory experiences. Shoving your feet into shoes with a narrow toe box or using only a portion of your feet in locomotion is most likely causing problems further up the chain.

To start giving your feet TLC, roll out your plantar fascia (tissue at the bottom of your feet) and massage in between your metatarsals (bones of your feet). If your hands feel more pliable than your feet, put in the hours to knead them!

The water bottle roller in this video is particularly helpful for patients with plantar fasciitis, where most of the morning pain resides close to the heel. Rolling out this fascia helps it become pliable, and the ice reduces inflammation and pain.

Dealing with plantar fasciitis? I can help!

Remember! This is not a diagnostic tool. It should not replace the guidance and diagnosis from a professional. If your knee has been hurting for more than 2 weeks, you should definitely seek help.
