Massage Therapy

Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) are registered health professionals who have completed extensive educational requirements, including training in both sciences and the clinical practice of massage therapy. They have also successfully passed a rigorous set of registration examinations administered by the College of Complimentary Health Professionals of BC (CCHPBC).

Jackson is a graduate of Langara College’s Massage Therapy program. Prior to becoming an RMT he lived and worked in Tokyo, Japan for 7 years.

He believes that every treatment should be as effective as possible and treats every patient based on their individual needs. Expect Jackson’s treatment to involve a variety of different methods and techniques such as myofascial release, trigger point therapy, muscle energy technique (MET), and joint mobilizations, in addition to traditional Swedish massage.

Outside the clinic Jackson can often be found hitting the gym, reading, doing some DIY, or watching a good movie.
