Massage therapy is truly one of the most ORIGINAL forms of manual therapy. Human beings are social creatures. We use touch to connect, support and heal one another; we have a natural need for touch. Therapeutic and intelligent massage consists primarily of hands-on manipulation of the soft tissues of the body, specifically for the purpose of optimizing health. Original Massage approaches the muscular, nervous and circulatory systems to optimize health and decrease stress associated with postural strain, repetitive use and fatigue.
The practitioners at Original Health and Wellness are all Registered Massage Therapists and can provide receipts for insurance purposes. The therapeutic approach of these treatments is aimed at body stabilization, spinal health and circulatory freedom. We avoid deep tissue treatment and utilize an intelligent approach to soft tissue tension that helps to relax the body and stabilize the alignment of the spine. This work has you leave the office feeling better and stay feeling better in the days to come. All Original therapists have been carefully selected to mix well with and support the other modalities offered at this clinic. It’s a team effort and massage is an important ingredient in overall health.
Robin Magder
Registered Massage Therapist
Robin is a Registered Massage Therapist who graduated from Kikkawa College of Massage Therapy in 2016, and a third year student at the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy. Robin works with the body to explore the root causes of physical pain and discomfort, providing relaxation and pain relief.
Using Swedish Massage, myofascial release, and joint mobilization, Robin supports soft tissues and joints to realign. In this way, the body is given an opportunity to use its own restorative wisdom. Robin works to bring calm and healing to people experiencing a range of issues including chronic pain, injuries, headaches and migraines, and postural pain and discomfort.
Robin’s practice is body positive and queer and trans welcoming. Working with an awareness that injustice and histories of oppression live in the body, Robin strives to support people in how they have learned to hold their particular life experiences.
Robin is excited to use their ever-expanding knowledge and skill to increase motion and spaciousness in the bodies of people in the Original Health and Wellness community.
