Registered Massage Therapy & Sports Recovery in Ottawa
As a registered massage therapist since 2010, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals achieve optimal wellness through personalized treatment plans. My practice integrates traditional techniques like trigger point therapy, myofascial release, and deep tissue work with modern methodologies such as Graston Technique and Functional Range Conditioning. With extensive experience working alongside elite athletes, I prioritize understanding each client's unique goals and physical demands to deliver targeted, results-driven care. My commitment to continuous education ensures my practice remains at the forefront of therapeutic advancements, including concussion management and TMJ disorder treatment. Co-founding Recover RX, Canada's first recovery studio, has allowed me to expand access to NFL-grade recovery technology for athletes and active individuals.I emphasize client education and home care routines to maximize treatment effectiveness beyond the therapy table. My approach combines technical expertise with a deep understanding of human physiology and movement patterns. By maintaining active membership with the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario, I uphold the highest professional standards. My practice empowers clients to take ownership of their recovery through customized stretching and strengthening programs. Whether treating chronic pain, sports injuries, or general wellness concerns, I deliver compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to each individual's needs.

I can't say enough great things about Kelly! She has been with me at competitions between events, and at the height of some of my injuries. She always knows what my limits are without me having to say a word! Her intuition and knowledge make for an EXTREMELY effective massage therapist. Thanks Kelly!
