Registered Massage Therapist

My name is Aleksandr and I strive to provide the best care to my clients using my knowledge and experience providing Massage Therapy. I have been a Massage Therapist since 2001 receiving my first diploma in Ukraine along with Master’s Degree in Kinesiology and Sport Medicine gaining knowledge in biomechanics of movements and injury mechanics. I also have a Degree in Physical Education due to my passion in sport playing basketball and doing Martial Arts since I was in grade one.
After being certified in Therapeutic Massage I have not stopped learning new methods and techniques. I got certified in Spain for Manual Lymphatic Drainage massage, Hot Stone Therapy, Reflexology, Cupping and Gua Sha (blades scraping method) and many other methods including facial techniques. I incorporate these in my treatments in order to reach my client’s goals. I completed my Registered Massage Therapy license in Canada with Royal Canadian College of Massage Therapy.

When I am not working, my attention turns to family first. My favorite hobbies include playing chess, reading professional books, and of course – going to the gym.

Which cases do you enjoy treating? Why?

Over my career I have been treating many different cases applying my skills and experience. I am confident in treating low back pain, shoulder injuries, neck tension, trigger Points and muscle knots. To improve these concerns, I use a variety of techniques including Deep Tissue Massage, Trigger Points therapy and Myofascial Release. I often add on Cupping and Gua Sha therapies to emphasize effects of Massage Therapy to relieve pain and tension on a case by case basis.
To detoxify the body’s system, I use Manual Lymphatic Drainage treatment to improve blood and lymph circulation. For stiff muscle I enjoy using passive stretch and PNF technique. To make tissue more pliable I apply Hot Stones to reduce muscle tension. The best prize for me is to be able to help my clients meet their health goals and resolve their complaints.

What are you proud of in your practice?

I am proud to have the opportunity to work with my clients solving their health concerns by applying skills and experience to treat and help them. As a professional I am passionate in continuing education to provide even better care and educate my clients on how to extend their wellbeing.

Why should patients choose you as their provider instead of others in the area?

I provide a broad type of treatment methods and combine them with a unique approach catered to each client based on their health goals. I like to develop a good rapport with my clients to continue helping them in their health journey. I am confident in my skills and care I provide to my clients.
