Billy Wiegand

RMT

Billy obtained his diploma in massage therapy from Sutherland-Chan College. He does clothes-on sports massage in his practice, taking a biomechanical approach to treatment. Using muscle testing to identify areas that need attention, he then treats the tissues and re-tests to confirm the intervention has been effective.

After herniating a disk at the age of 22, Billy realized the importance of receiving treatment, and learning how to treat yourself. He struggled for years until he learned the tools to relieve his own pain, and how to train his body to prevent future re-injury.

Billy believes the road to recovery is based on clients receiving clear information, which ultimately leads to a positive health outcome. Having previously taught swimming, aquafit, music and canoe-tripping at high levels, he now incorporates teaching into every treatment, to ensure his clients can continue to improve and make progress in each session.

Through the use of joint mobilizations, fascial and muscle energy techniques, he targets the body’s nervous system to achieve the best outcomes.  Billy’s goal is to get all muscles and joints working optimally to achieve stability, mobility and ability.

Sine Hwang

RMT

Sine began her career by completing courses in advanced Thai massage in both
Thailand and Toronto.

After 3 years of practising Thai massage, Sine felt something was missing in
her practice. She wanted to focus on the “healing” aspect of massage therapy as
opposed to her clients merely “feeling well”.

Sine’s return to college to become a Registered Massage Therapist, opened up
her understanding of massage, in general, and the positive benefit of soft tissue
manipulation for the healing process. She wants to serve her clients by sharing
with them her knowledge, experience and care.

Sine offers reflexology to those who need relaxation and to boost their
energy levels.
