"Highly Recommend Mr. Chris I highly recommend Mr. Chris, a Registered Massage Therapist who delivers truly effective results. I was struggling with chronic lower back pain and awful limited flexibility, but he completely changed that for me. He's incredibly professional, genuinely knowledgeable, and his deep tissue skills are next level. After only a few sessions, my pain is significantly reduced, and my flexibility and range of motion are dramatically better—I feel like I've gotten my mobility back. Chris provides lasting results, and I recommend him without hesitation!"

BIO
Chris is currently not taking any NEW ICBC patients for now, sorry!
Chris is a Langara graduate with diplomas in Registered Massage Therapy & Human Kinetics.
He incorporates various techniques tailored to each individual in his treatments to help them achieve their treatment goals.
Drawing from years of previous experience in the tire industry, he understands the demands placed on the body in strenuous applications. This firsthand knowledge fuels his dedication to helping individuals in similar roles alleviate muscle tension, prevent injuries & maintain peak physical condition.
Sports have been a continued part of Chris’ life. He’s been able to address athletes & officials’ needs of various skill levels from events such as BC Bike Race, IIHF World Juniors Tournament, HSBC Rugby 7’s & BC Summer Games.
Although his main interest is in managing injuries of various types, Chris finds value in understanding one’s personal story to treat the person, not just the condition!
In his free time, you can find Chris playing hockey, weight lifting, travelling, finding new places to eat & spending quality time with his family.
