Emily Desmarais Registered Massage Therapist, Reiki Master, Aquatic Rehabilitation Specialist
Growing up as a dancer, Emily attended her fair share of rehabilitation appointments. At an early age, she was amazed by the bodies function and capabilities of healing. This led her to start her education in Athletic Therapy but eventually she chose the path to become an RMT from the Royal Canadian College of Massage Therapy. Emily has experience treating high school football teams, motor vehicle accidents, pre natal women and the average individual. She has been trained to use a varity of techniques such as Swedish massage, deep tissue, sports massage, Lymphatic Drainage, Fascial release and Reiki. Emily is also a qualified Aquatic Rehabilitation Specialist. She is able to do aquatic therapy at a clients home pool, city pool, or gym pool. An assessment would need to be done by one of the Physiotherapists at Sheddon and Emily would carry out the exercise program as guided by the physiotherapist.
Emily’s treatments are developed to you specifically. Postural assessments and orthopaedic testing help her to determine the underlying cause of an injury or dysfunction and preventing reoccurrence. There is nothing worse than living with pain, limitations or stress. Let Emily help you reach your goals and possibilities.
