Elise is an RMT who’s focus is on treating acute and chronic low back pain and pelvic postural alignment. As a Registered Massage Therapist for over a decade she has gained extensive knowledge of the body and its pathways to rehabilitation. She has completed courses in Medical Acupuncture, Active Release Technique (A.R.T), Symmetry (posture correcting exercise), as well as various courses in fascial release techniques. Elise had the honour of studying the fascial system through dissection with facial expert Tom Myers, in Tempe Arizona. This lead her to include Fascial Stretch Therapy (Stretch to Win) to her approach of working with the body for improved alignment, mobility, and injury recovery.

Elise works with professional athletes within the NBA and NHL. She utilizes her modalities to treat conditions relating to repetitive strain injuries that arise from postural dysfunction. Manifestations of misalignment can lead to cervical spine, low back and hip pathologies, rotator cuff injuries, tennis and golfers elbow, and ligamentous injuries of the knee and foot.

Elise believes in a movement based approach to her massages. During a treatment the body is moved, lengthened, and worked appropriate to the condition to optimize tissue healing. More than just mechanically focused, one of Elise’s personal vocations is holistic health. This includes the symbiotic relationship between holistic nutrition, emotional somatic energy, and spirituality.

It is the bases of her philosophy that a massage should be deeply therapeutic and focused, as well as deeply relaxing and restorative. Elise values a collaborative approach to treatment and works alongside a great team of professionals.
