Nicole Rose, Registered Massage Therapist
I graduated from the West Coast College of Massage Therapy (WCCMT) in New Westminster, British Columbia in 2003 and began my massage therapy practice in 2004.
In the 21 years of exploring various modalities in massage therapy I keep coming back to what I do best; classic Swedish massage. I don’t use intensely deep or painful pressure. in my massages. While I have trained in “deep tissue” massage, I don’t use the amount of pressure it calls for. I often use my elbows, forearms and knuckles in my treatments as they allow me to give the amount of pressure my hands alone aren’t able to provide. My goal with every massage is to find a balance between addressing your concerns while keeping the experience pleasant and relaxing.
Swedish Massage, Trigger Point Therapy, gentle joint mobilizations and heat are the main tools I use to address various symptoms.
Your comfort and relaxation are always a priority. Home care advice is based on simple, proven methods.
I keep up to date with current science based knowledge about human anatomy, musculoskeletal dysfunctions and pain science. There are a lot of myths and misinformation floating around about massage therapy. As an RMT I feel a responsibility to keep you informed about the reality of what massage therapy can (and can’t) do for you.
I’m grateful to have found massage therapy as my profession. It keeps me mentally and physically active and in contact with interesting people who give me the gift of trust with their health and well being.
