Testimonials

Alison never forgets the importance of the person as a whole, confirming at each session where things are at and adjusts treatment accordingly. Her calm and professional manner and constant smile puts you at ease.

I have been seeing Alison for over a year, mostly for regular preventative maintenance to keep any trouble spots in check. However, Alison has also had to deal with a couple of injuries (both sports and work related) and with her assistance, I healed quickly and was able to return to normal activities in short order. — Robbi Green, Vancouver, BC

Alison’s awesome! Pregnancy is a time of new and changing aches and
pains — Alison has been fantastic at assisting me through this. She
provides comfortable positioning for my massages, trimester-tailored
treatments, and exercises to assist me in managing my discomfort
between appointments. Her knowledge and insights help to deconstruct
some of the mysteries of pregnancy! — Meghan Winters, Vancoouver

I have been a client of Alison’s for the past year and her listening, knowledge, and treatment techniques make her an extraordinary RMT. Whether I am experiencing pain or not, I make regular appointments with Alison as I feel her treatments are a huge benefit to my overall health. It comes across very clearly in her work that she is passionate about her practice and her client’s well being. — Sara Paquin, Vancouver, BC

I play and take part in a range of different activities and sports and inevitably pick up various injuries and niggling pains. I also sit at a computer all day for work and get the usual back and neck aches associated with that. So, more often than not I’ve got a combination of issues happening at the same time and I’m always impressed with how Alison carefully diagnoses what is going on and is able to work on the various problem areas in a holistic way. I appreciate Alison’s very considered approach and also that she understands that the priority isn’t just to deal with some short term discomfort but to get back active again and stay active. Therefore the way she takes time to explain what is happening in my body, why she’s doing what she’s doing, and what I can do to prevent injury and maintain health in the future is really important to me. — John Telford, Vancouver, BC

I started experiencing pain a little over year ago after straining my lower back during a poorly executed lift of my cats’ cage into my van (lame, I know). Walking was difficult and I had to take a week off of work. I had never actually gone to a massage therapist for therapy before but I made my way to the closest RMT’s clinic in my neighborhood and was treated by Alison. After a few treatments the pain was gone, I was back at work, and happy to be on the mend.

When, 6 months later, I started experiencing re-occurring discomfort, I found that Alison had started her own practice on South Granville and decided that her treatments were worth a 15 minute drive across the bridge. I am so glad that I made that choice! In the last few months she has cleared up the back pain, given me stretches I can do at home for prevention and provided the encouragement I needed to sign up with a personal trainer for an ongoing strengthening program that will ensure I maintain long term back health. I would highly recommend Alison as a RMT; she listens carefully, she gets results, and her clinic is an inviting space with convenient parking. Thanks Alison! — Laurel Richardson, Vancouver, BC
