Rachel Sytsma

Rachel’s treatments may include deep tissue massage, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, scar-tissue care and Swedish relaxation techniques. She supports clients with injury rehabilitation, neck, shoulder and back pain, motor-vehicle injuries and whiplash, postural strain and sports-related tension. Her pressure and approach are adapted within each client’s comfort, with a focus on creating a supportive experience throughout recovery. A graduate of the Vancouver College of Massage Therapy, Rachel brings an athletic background and previous health-care experience as a nursing unit clerk in Vancouver General Hospital’s orthopedic and trauma services. These experiences have given her insight into the patience and consistency often involved in healing. She values clear communication and practical treatment goals, helping clients feel informed and supported whether they are returning from injury or managing everyday discomfort.
