Kriss prompted a career in massage because of his desire to help better the lives of people in need. He earned his Diploma in Massage Therapy and graduated with honors from Medix College of Healthcare in 2018. He was also one of the recipients of the Medix’s Academic Excellence Award that year. Kriss’ specialties include Swedish massage, myofascial release, joint mobilization, trigger point therapy and deep tissue techniques. He is equally comfortable providing relaxation and therapeutic treatments and uses both to support his clients’ health. Kriss is a problem-solver by nature and always enjoys being challenged to provide a solution-based treatment that is safe and effective for his clients.
What is registered massage therapy?
Registered massage therapy, a regulated health profession in Ontario, is generally taught in the method of Swedish massage. Swedish technique involves long, smooth strokes, kneading, and other movements intent on causing relaxation of the muscles. This is accomplished by improving circulation to the muscles via the treatment, thereby improving oxygen and nutrient supply to the tissues. While registered massage therapy (RMT) helps treat injuries, illness and stress, it is also excellent for helping prevent illness and conditions before they develop. Some reasons people seek the help of RMT's include:
- back, leg and neck pain
- carpal tunnel syndrome
- athletic injuries
- joint pain
- arthritis
- tendonitis
- stress
- depression
- headaches
- post-surgical rehabilitation
- pregnancy support
- fibromyalgia
- insomnia
- constipation
- multiple sclerosis
- asthma and emphysema
- stroke
- Parkinson's disease
- cancer
- chronic fatigue syndrome
