Jordan Labuanan, Registered Massage Therapist 

Jordan is a recent graduate of Mohawk College and is a member of the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario. He decided to become an RMT because he has always been interested in how the human body works and how it works for us. He was a personal trainer but later learned that it wasn't for him, though he still wanted to find a way to help people in their daily lives. He wanted to use the techniques, methods, and ideologies that he learned about to genuinely help his clients to enjoy freedom of movement without pain. In addition to the RMT program, Jordan has also completed a course in Osteopathy.  

Jordan’s style of treatment ranges from providing relaxation to deep tissue therapy. The techniques that he uses depend upon the goals of his clients and what best suits their own personal needs. In partnership with his clients, Jordan can provide a personalized treatment that will help get them back up and moving!

He himself loves being active and is a most dedicated Raptors Fan. If Jordan looks familiar, it’s because he has been with the clinic now for more than 2 years, working at the front desk as he completed his program.  He feels fortunate to have met so many of our clients and looks forward to seeing you for your next treatment!
