Jason Kelly, Registered Massage Therapist

Jason graduated from the International Academy of Massage in October 2015 and has been working part time at a physiotherapy clinic since January 2016. He is proficient in swedish massage, deep tissue massage, hydrotherapy, stretching and strengthening exercises, lymphatic drainage, joint mobilizations, and PNF stretching among other things. He excels at treating repetitive strain injuries such as tennis and golfer's elbow and tendonitis. Jason's treatments consist of a series of questions on activities of daily living, work environment and postures to figure out movement patterns that contribute to the client's current condition. He taylors his treatments to clients' goals. It is important to understand that muscles work synergistically and so a specific muscle with a pathology will usually be treated along with other muscles that facilitate that function as well. Jason makes full use of his palpation skills to assess which muscles are being overworked or causing pain. Jason likes to show clients pictures of specific muscles so that they can visualize the attachment points that they are separating for a stretch or contracting together to strengthen; It is important to have a mind-muscle connection to consciously release tensions. People often hold tension in muscles they aren't even aware of how to contract on demand. Jason has exceptional knowledge about nutrition and likes to eat healthy, work out and be active. He likes to work with people to loosen their tense muscles to allow them to relax, bring balance back to their movements and regain metabolic function so that the client can heal and maintain range of motion. Jason would like to learn about Traditional Chinese Medicine and in particular meridian theory in the future.
