Massage Therapy at Evolve Vancouver
Registered Massage Therapy (RMT) is a health profession regulated by the College of Complementary Health Professionals of British Columbia (CCHPBC) under BC’s Health Professions Act.
Each of our Massage Therapists have completed at least 2,200 hours of training and passed comprehensive and rigorous practical and written exams to provide safe and effective health care to your soft tissue and joint problems.
Benefits of Massage Therapy
Massage therapy is known to ease muscle pain, help relieve tension, reduce stress, improve your sleep, and promote relaxation throughout your entire body.
Moreover, repetitive strain injuries as well as neck, back, and shoulder pain can be a part of everyday life. Our professionals are here to guide you through your journey of rehabilitation, no matter the stage you are at.
At Evolve Vancouver, we go beyond providing temporary relief. We look for solutions for long-term health and resiliency.
Our massage therapy provides assessment and treatment for the purposes of developing, maintaining, rehabilitating or augmenting physical function and promoting health. It achieves this through a hands-on approach and an active home-care plan. Coaching is an important part of your treatment plan. We want to help you discover freedom and efficiency in movement.
We want to empower you to move better, and move often, in order for you to improve your physical capacity. Ultimately, our movement and home-care education aims to equip you with the tools you need to succeed on your own, so you can become more independent in your journey to recovery.
Registered Massage Therapy is covered through most extended health benefit plans, and ICBC. Most plans reset on January 1st.

Kinesiology is the science of human movement. Kinesiologists evaluate physical activity, function, movement patterns, and lifestyle to recommend and deliver solutions for health, exercise, sport, work, and social settings.
They use evidence-based research and practical knowledge to reduce and manage injuries, lifestyle, disease, and other physiological conditions.
Kinesiologists work one-on-one with you to help you achieve your health and wellness goals through movement, rehabilitation, lifestyle, nutrition, and more.

our Unique process
At Evolve Vancouver, we take a 3-step approach in Massage Therapy: Discovery, Manual Therapy and Movement Education. Our approach helps us to narrow down contributing factors of your discomfort and provide a long-term solution for your well-being.
Step 1: Discovery
Discovery is crucial in revealing what may be contributing to your back, neck muscle, or joint pain. Without it, we are just guessing. We assess range of motion, strength, full body movement behaviour, task/sport specific movement, and many more.
These assessments take place throughout the session at different points so that we can compare before and after to see if there are any notable differences in movement and how your body feels. Assessment is a discovery process for both you and your therapist.
Step 2: Manual Therapy
We take a hands-on approach that targets your specific area of complaint and any other surrounding areas that may be involved. Manual therapy may help to improve range of motion, muscle tightness, pain, soreness, and more.
Some examples of treatment include: myofascial release, trigger point therapy, active and passive pin and stretch, active and passive stretching, neuromuscular techniques, muscle energy techniques, instrument assisted soft tissue manipulation (IASTM), joint mobilizations, and more.
Step 3: Movement Education
We place an important emphasis on movement. This is because what you do at home is oftentimes more important than the hands-on portion of treatment.
Manual therapy feels great but its effects are generally temporary. The real long-term change comes from consistency in your home-care plan.
