KRIS MIERIK RMT, MET

I am a Registered Massage Therapist with  30 years of experience.

After graduating from the College of Massage Therapy in Ontario in 1994, I moved to Vancouver in June 1995, and started my own  private practice. Throughout  the 28 years of working as an RMT, I continued to evolve and seek out education related to treatment modalities, manual therapy, and further professional development. I am currently practicing along side a chiropractor, Dr. Darabi, at the Laurel Chiropractic and Wellness Clinic. Outside of work, you can find me mountain biking, kayaking, skiing, and spending time with my family out in the nature. 

​

The practice of Massage Therapy is the assessment, treatment, and prevention of soft tissue and joint disorders, dysfunction or injury using treatment methods which include but are not limited to manual techniques, hydrotherapy, therapeutic exercise and the patient's education to rehabilitate, relieve pain and promote health and well being.

The main massage/manual therapy techniques that I use are:

*deep tissue release

*myofascial release
* arthrokinetic therapy
* joint balancing and mobilization
* postural re-alignment
