About
Hey, my name is Amy McElroy, RMT CLT. I am a graduate of the Registered Massage Therapy Program at Medix College and currently a member in good standing with College of Massage Therapists of Ontario (CMTO).
I have worked very closely with a chiropractor for 5 years as well as I am a past member of the faculty of Medix/Westervelt College, RMT program.
I originally learned of the benefits of massage therapy with my extensive work with Standardbred racehorses. When I decided on a career change, I focused on massage therapy for people. I have always been interested in holistic health care and regularly use natural forms of treatment on myself, as well as my dogs and horse.
I regularly personalize treatment plans for a variety of ailments. I have a personal interest in postural dysfunctions, overuse and sports injuries, pregnancy and neurological conditions. I have completed continuing education in Kinesio Taping and love to include it in my treatments. Kinesio Taping is a rehabilitative technique that assists the body’s natural healing process. It can support and stabilize muscles, joints and fascia without restricting range of motion. It can also be used to decrease pain and inflammation and increase lymphatic drainage.
In 2019, I completed my Laser Therapy certification. I can provide this service within massage therapy treatments or as a separate modality. Laser Therapy uses light waves to help with pain and healing at a cellular level. It is great for many acute and chronic conditions, especially those related to ligaments and tendons which have a tendency to take longer to heal due to their lack of natural blood flow.
Nowadays… When I’m not working with clients, you can find me:
-
- • reading a great book
- • listening to podcasts
- • adventuring outdoors (I’m such a country girl!)
- • enjoying time with friends
- • learning through courses, conferences & trial-and-error
- • travelling
I feel like I have so much more to give than I am currently offering! Baby steps are necessary, so I started my own site. You can come here to find tips or tricks, recipes I love, or just read up about the insanity than can ensue in my life and follow my journey!
Welcome, my new friend! Buckle up! I can’t wait to share this crazy journey with you!
I want to know how I can add value to your life, feel free to contact me anytime!
