Meet Our Massage Therapists

Vanessa Coady, RMT

Vanessa Coady graduated from the West Coast College of Massage Therapy in 2012, and has been helping people with their pain and tension ever since.

Vanessa believes that massage therapy is best utilized as a targeted approach to address pain or dysfunction. To that end, she employs modalities such as deep tissue massage, instrument-assisted soft tissue manipulation, myofascial release, joint manipulation and others to effect change on the problematic areas. She also believes that relaxation allows pain to be addressed in the most efficient and beneficial manner, and incorporates Swedish massage and other relaxation techniques into all aspects of her practice. The combination of relaxation and targeted therapeutic work allows Vanessa to effectively treat a wide array of musculoskeletal issues, including headaches, hypertoned or spasming muscles, repetitive strain injuries, TMJ problems, frozen shoulder, sciatic pain, scar tissue, and stress.

Most importantly, Vanessa believes that the key to health is in the hands of the individual, and to that end supplies homecare advice and activities by which a patient may maintain pain relief, and prevent the return of dysfunction.
