Our Massage Therapist

Karen has owned and operated Advanced Therapeutic Massage since June 2000. She also holds a BA in Psychology and will be receiving a BHSc in the near future. Karen believes that massage therapy reduces the severity of injuries, reduces the recovery time, and when used regularly, actually decreases the likelihood of injury. Massage therapy combined with strength training has proven to be beneficial to many chronic conditions such as low back pain, arthritis, bursitis, and fibromyalgia. Awareness of the body's natural resilience in compensation patterns to self-correct the imbalance is fundamental to regaining health. She uses therapeutic massage for restoring function and movement to joints and muscles used in daily activities, sports, or those areas affected by injury. She believes that massage also helps relieve the stress and tension of everyday living.

Karen continually participates in ongoing training in order to provide you with the best care available.
