Strathmore Massage

I am a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) with advanced training in Myofascial Release (MFR). My first year of school was completed at the McKay Massage and Hydrotherapy Program in Saskatoon in 2005. My wife, Leanne, and I then relocated to Strathmore, Alberta that year due to a teaching position she had accepted at a local elementary school. I then found myself transferring to the Foothills College of Massage and Hydrotherapy in Calgary and graduated from their 2,200 hour program.

I have been practicing as a Registered Massage Therapist since 2006 and am located at the Wellness Within Centre in Strathmore, Alberta.

The Wellness Within Centre is the umbrella name that Dr. Terry Procyshen, Chiropractor, has given to the location where he and other independent natural health practitioners conduct their own practices interdependently.

In 2007, I began my studies in an advanced form of therapy called Myofascial Release (MFR) through the John F. Barnes, PT, Myofascial Release Treatment Centers and Seminars. My goal is to achieve the highest level of training available in this type of therapy and to incorporate this knowledge, as I acquire it, to form a more comprehensive and effective treatment for my clients. Thus far I have completed the following courses:

Myofascial Release I	Myofascial Unwinding
Myofascial Release II	Myofascial Mobilization
Fascial-Pelvis

On a personal note, my wife and I have been married since 2001 and have since welcomed our first child, Eowyn Aryanah Pinel, into this world on November of 2007. Our chocolate Labrador, Skye, now has a sister to play with. As a lover of music, I have been playing drums for 15 years and in 2006 decided to undertake the violin. Other hobbies I enjoy are reading, writing, gardening, camping, hiking, movies, ballroom dancing with my wife Leanne and watching the odd Montreal Canadiens hockey game, with apologies to all of the Calgary Flames fans.
