Tell us about yourself?
Hello, I'm Shak, a passionate Registered Massage Therapist (RMT with a commitment to holistic well-being. I proudly graduated from the Royal Canadian College of Massage Therapy, driven by the belief that healing the body is as crucial as training it.
My journey into massage therapy is rooted in the understanding that a balanced and healthy body contributes significantly to overall wellness. I strive to create a positive impact on the lives of those seeking relief and relaxation.
When I am not at the massage table, you can often find me spending time with my wife and children or at the gym, a passion I've nurtured for nearly two decades. Weightlifting isn't just a physical activity for me; it's a personal journey that aligns with my philosophy of a sound mind in a sound body. I love learning about new routines, new workout methods, there's always room for improvement in your form and how you structure your workout.
Join me on this journey towards balance and vitality, where healing and strength coexist
Which cases do you enjoy treating? Why?
I find satisfaction in offering treatment to the back and calves, which serve as the primary drivers of our movement and bear the brunt of stress from our everyday physical activities. These areas frequently benefit from therapeutic treatments and relaxation. Additionally, I enjoy alleviating tension in the neck and shoulders, regions that commonly bear the weight of occupational stress, accumulating strain from desk work and prolonged phone use.
What are the top 3 treatments that you specialize in?
I specialize in relaxation massages which are full body massages aimed to decrease tension from everyday stress to restore a general sense of relaxation. I also specialize in trigger point therapy which can help address specific pains and aches that come from knots in the muscles through exercises or the general overuse of certain muscles. Trigger point therapy aims to restore movement and increase flexibility of affected muscles.
Lastly, I specialize in deep tissue massages that targets chronic tension in muscles that lie far below the body's surface with involves massage techniques that use deep kneading and stroking with varying amounts of intense pressure.
What are you proud of in your practice?
I am proud that I can help my clients relieve pain, reduce stress and get the most of their day to day life.
Why should patients choose you as their provider instead of others in the area?
I am someone who will build a strong therapeutic relationship that will focus on providing quality care. I will take the time to get to know my clients to build individual treatment plans. I am always looking to improve my knowledge of treating my clients by working with my peers in my field and other healthcare practitioners in order to stay up to date on the latest therapeutic techniques. I will work with my clients to set goals to get them more involved in their own therapeutic journey. I am someone who is always looking to improve and learn hence I always ask for feedback in order to get better and help my clients.
