Massage Therapy at Evolve Vancouver
Registered Massage Therapy (RMT) is a health profession regulated by the College of Massage Therapist of British Columbia (CMTBC) under BC’s Health Professions Act.

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.

genevieve capilano2024-04-02Very clean place. Welcoming atmosphere and staff. I wasn’t sure what to expect after reading the website but it was a lovely massage with a conversation of my concerned muscle groups and 1 or 2 recommended stretches. Which is perfect for me- I wasn’t in need of physio therapy and was excited to have a relaxing experience. And that’s what I got! I’m sure u could ask for more exercises if u want but I just went for a nice massage :)
Roxie Pepper2024-04-01I've had a handful of RMT appointments so far with Danny Vu at Evolve. Danny is knowledgeable, respectful and a great communicator. At our sessions, he takes time to skillfully assess and treat my TMJ, then additionally share exercises and recommend complementary therapy for home care. Danny actively checks for feedback through the session to ensure pressure applied is manageable. Bonus that the treatment tables have heated options to keep you optimally comfortable through your appointment. The clinic is clean and well lit (shoes off at the door), and there is plenty of street parking in addition to the handful of stalls at the back of the clinic.
Izzy Kim2024-03-25Gordon has been helping me work thru my ICBC physical rehab the last few years, and it's absolutely made a huge difference. Car accidents can be complex, from head injuries to compensation patterns. He prepared regular exercise programs and continues to keep me on track every step of the way. I highly recommend working with him if you're committed to investing in your rehabilitation.
Benz Rodri2024-03-20If I can define Danny & Roy with their service provided in one word, it would be: Amazing. Danny & Roy both help with helping with identifying and relieving muscle pain. I had a neck pain that has been bothering me for the past week and a half, and they were both able to identify and help treat the neck and back pain associated with it. If you need an instant pain relief, i highly suggest visiting evolve and booking time to meet with Danny & Roy. :) I haven’t experienced the other team members yet, but if my availability changes, and it suits better with the other members, i’ll give them a try and write another review. Thank you Evolve team and specially Roylan Santos & Danny Vu for helping me in reliefing me with my muscle pains. 😁👍🏻
Eloïse Aguilar-Saurina2024-03-18Evolve RMT Vancouver is the best rehabilitation studio I have been to. Not only is the place bright and clean, but the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Ryan B. has treated me for various different issues and after only a few visits I am usually pain free. He is very professional and is dedicated to figuring out the source of the pain, and provides many stretches and exercises to do at home to further help with the rehabilitation process. It is very evident how passionate he is about what he does and how much he cares about his clients. If I could give more than 5 stars I would because truly the service here is like none other.
Kevin McConville2024-03-14Highly recommend this place. Clean facility that’s well taken care of. I’ve been seeing Danny off and on for the last six months and been really happy with him.
JP D2024-02-27Gordon and Brianna were able to quickly identify the imbalances that were affecting my physical health and mobility. They created customized workouts to address them and I felt so much better within the first 2 weeks. Very pleased and won't hesitate to return when needed.
Wendy Cheung2024-02-22Working with Gordan at Evolve has been an absolute game changer for me. Ever since I began the active rehab program with him, I can feel a drastic improvement on my mobility and pain relief. It was my first time working with a kinesiologist and he made it an awesome experience. He is friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about helping his clients get better. Gordan has provided great explanations of exercises and really positive encouragement. He develops different training contents according to my rehabilitation needs and most importantly, he makes our sessions fun. I’d recommend Gordan to anyone looking for kinesiology training or rehabilitation.
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.
