Sarah Rice

RMT

Sarah would like to acknowledge and express gratitude that she is a visitor on the traditional unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples, the traditional territory of the Snuneymuxw First Nation.

Sarah is a graduate of the Massage Therapy program at the West Coast College. She completed her program in 2019 and has, since then, been growing her practice in Victoria, BC.

Sarah looks forward to exploring more of the island and becoming a part of the community in Nanaimo. Living on the West Coast, she holds particular interest in geocaching, hiking, long distance running, cycling and rock climbing. Sarah played competitive soccer throughout her younger and early adult years which allows her to relate to performance based training as well as sport specific injuries in her RMT practice.

Sarah has had experience treating various conditions which include but are not limited to: plantar fasciitis, thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS), frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis), spinal cord and brain injury with accompanied mobility issues, lumbar disc herniations/prolapses, sciatica, reconstructive knee surgeries and common sprains and strains.

Cody Wilson

RMT

Cody graduated from the RMT program at Vancouver College of Massage Therapy in 2015 and has been working primarily in Burnaby over the past 7+ years.

Having grown up in North Vancouver Cody has had a lot of opportunities to explore nature. He regularly gets out camping and hiking as well as some longer duration backpacking when time allows it.

Cody grew up playing hockey, lacrosse, rugby and ultimate frisbee and continues to play hockey today, so he has vast knowledge of sports related injuries having had them himself. He also spent 3 years coaching lacrosse teams on the North Shore and Burnaby helping further his knowledge of common sports injuries.

During his career Cody has worked with a wide array of injuries and conditions within the body. He has worked with ICBC patients who have had motor vehicle accidents, professional athletes, postural dysfunctions, repetitive strain injuries, nervous system dysfunctions, pre/post surgery patients, relaxation treatments, and works with most major 3rd party insurance companies.

Cody has taken many different courses within his years as an RMT but tends to stick with more traditional methods including Swedish, active and passive stretching, active release, MFR, attachment release, and joint mobilisations. He tends to work into deeper tissues but also believes the patient needs to maintain some level of relaxation to be effective.
