Not your typical massage therapist. If tension or recurring soreness keeps getting in the way of training or daily life, Marco combines massage, fascial work and other manual therapy with a movement assessment. He treats muscles and soft tissue and does not diagnose conditions. This is not a spa-type massage with essential oils or comfy sheets. It is specialist sports massage from a Registered Massage Therapist.
Movement Matters' aim is to get to the heart of the issue you are going through. We will work together to develop a plan that includes a blend of therapeutic work and resistance training to help you move and feel stronger. If massage or other care hasn't worked for you before, book a session and see how an assessment-driven approach feels. Direct billing is available through Telus Health, Sun Life, Alberta Blue Cross, Medavie Blue Cross, Provider Connect and theClaimsXchange.
Let's make it clear, if your therapist, trainer, coach, etc., aren't assessing you throughout the process, how hard are they actually working towards your goals?
Assessments give us an idea of what we can and shouldn't do, provide a starting point, and most of all, show whether what we've done is changing how you move.
From assessments, we can distinguish what we'd need to mobilize then stabilize. Mobility always comes first because, in simplest terms, you can't create stability in a range of motion you can't even get yourself into or are uncomfortable to be in.
Andreo Spina (Creator of FRC) defines mobility as, "the extent of controllable flexibility across articulations (flexibility plus strength), refers to the amount of USABLE motion that one possesses."
Once mobility has been established, we regain or establish stability and motor-control. We focus on bracing by irradiating internal tension, making something feel heavy then progressing into loaded movements to build strength and resilience.
This is where resistance training comes in. It builds strength and resilience, and we do not need to lift like a powerlifter to get stronger.
