If you haven’t been for an Orthopedic Massage before, you may have questions or concerns as to how this differs from a regular Swedish, relaxation or therapeutic massage.
When you come for your first appointment your therapist will perform a thorough assessment. This may include the following:
- A case history: Tell us all about why you have come, and what concerns you want addressed.
- A postural/Gait analysis: Let us take a look at you and how your posture may be affecting your concerns.
- An Orthopedic evaluation: Through a series of motions and resistance testing your therapist will evaluate your areas of concern.
- A plan: The therapist will then put together a plan that best suites your need.
This assessment may take up to 30 minutes to perform
The Remainder of your time will include a massage treatment of the concerns identified in the assessment.
For Each subsequent appointment the therapist will review your progress, as well as your posture, and will adapt each treatment based on the changes they see.

What People Say
Kristi-Lynn is hands down the BEST massage therapist I have ever sought treatment from. She is excellent at assessing the state of my muscles, joints and any running related ache at each appointment, and then she responds with the appropriate treatment and advice. Kristi-Lynn shows genuine concern for my well being and will often take the time to suggest additional strengthening exercises or stretches to complete at home in order to assist with rehabilitation or maximize the treatment. She is always honest but kind when I seek her opinion with setting realistic exercise goals or plans. Kristi-Lynn is extremely well-versed when it comes to the muscular system, human anatomy and how everything is connected and can lead to various ailments. It is very clear that she is passionate about helping her clients achieve their full potential when it comes to their active lifestyles. I am so grateful to have Kristi-Lynn as part of my wellness routine so that I can keep on running and staying active.

Kristi Lynn deals with the root of your problem and designs a treatment protocol specific to your needs rather than just giving you a standard massage. She assesses you in detail and forms a strategy for real recovery with recommended exercise or movement to strengthen problem areas and prevent future issues. She takes the time to listen and can resolve chronic issues. She is extremely knowledgeable and caring. I’d highly recommend her.
