Registered Massage Therapist
Jim has proudly called the Cowichan Valley home for over 30 years and is grateful to serve his community as a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT). He currently practices at two physiotherapy clinics: Empower Physio in Cobble Hill and Mill Bay Physiotherapy in Mill Bay.
In addition to his RMT designation, Jim holds a Bachelor’s degree in Physical Education with a focus on sports injury rehabilitation. He is also a certified Hanna Somatic Practitioner, specializing in posture and helping individuals return to optimal alignment following injury or prolonged movement dysfunction.
Jim’s approach to treatment is centered on improving mobility through a combination of therapeutic massage, movement education, and functional rehabilitation. He incorporates a neurological and movement-based perspective, often working collaboratively with patients to actively engage them in their recovery. He also offers more traditional massage techniques, including Swedish and myofascial therapy, tailored to each individual’s needs.
More recently, Jim has been focusing on scar tissue remodeling, helping to improve both the function and aesthetic appearance of scars, with excellent results.
Whether patients are recovering from a sports injury, accident, overuse condition, or surgery, Jim’s goal is to provide a unique, educational, and empowering treatment experience. He is passionate about helping clients take control of their health—because when you can move more, you can live more.
