With extensive training and experience, our RMTs offer a range of therapeutic techniques tailored to meet your specific needs.

Revitalize Your Body and Mind.

Meridian Integrative Health is proud to offer therapeutic massage services to our clients. Massage therapy is a hands-on treatment that involves manipulating the soft tissues of the body to enhance relaxation, relieve muscle tension, and improve circulation. Our RMTs are dedicated to providing exceptional care and promoting overall wellness for our clients.

Massage Modalities.

Sports Therapy

If you’re an athlete or engage in regular physical activity, sports therapy sessions are designed to optimize performance and aid in injury prevention. Through targeted techniques, our RMTs will focus on addressing muscle imbalances, reducing recovery time, and enhancing athletic performance. Whether you’re recovering from an injury or aiming to improve your sports performance, your RMT will create a personalized treatment plan to help you reach your goals.

Neuropathy and Pain Management

We understand the debilitating effects of neuropathy and chronic pain on daily life. With a compassionate approach, our RMTs utilize massage therapy techniques to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and enhance the body’s natural healing process. By targeting specific areas affected by neuropathy or chronic pain conditions, we aim to provide relief and improve your overall quality of life.

Restoring Mobility and Function

Limited mobility and loss of function can greatly impact your day-to-day activities. Our RMTs are trained in specific therapeutic massage techniques that focus on restoring mobility, increasing flexibility, and improving joint function. By working closely with you, they’ll develop a comprehensive treatment plan to address your specific mobility concerns and help you regain your freedom of movement.

Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization

In addition to extensive RMT training, our registered massage therapists have also undergone training in Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM). This technique utilizes specialized tools to provide targeted therapy, effectively breaking down scar tissue, reducing adhesions, and restoring proper tissue function. With the use of these specifically designed instruments, they can precisely target areas of tissue dysfunction and adhesions. This technique can be particularly beneficial for individuals recovering from injuries, experiencing chronic pain, or seeking improved range of motion.

Discover Relaxation.

At Meridian Integrative Health, your well-being is our top priority. Whether you’re seeking sports therapy, relief from neuropathy and pain, or assistance in restoring mobility and function, our therapists’ skillful hands and deep understanding of the human body will help you achieve optimal health and vitality. Book your appointment today and experience the power of massage therapy.

Tess Ahern

RMT

Hello Salmon Arm community! I’m looking forward to meeting and getting to know everyone. Whatever state of health you are in, we will customize a plan to address your goals, incorporating a variety of evidence based techniques while leaving you feeling rested and refreshed.

I am a 2016 grad of Sutherland Chan School in Toronto, with a focus on serving a diverse population of clients in many health conditions. I completed specialty placements at Toronto General Hospital and Lyndhurst Rehab Facility for spinal cord injuries. More recently I really enjoyed working with students in both classroom and clinic as an educator at Vancouver College of Massage Therapy. After maintaining a busy practice in Squamish, I am enjoying the beauty of the Kamloops and Shuswap areas!

I have worked consistently with a variety of patients, from the very athletic to injury/surgical recovery, pre and post natal, children to seniors, people living with persistent pain and neurological conditions to stress management. I love working with a team of other health professionals for a wholistic approach to support! With previous experience offering a range of yoga practices, pilates movement re-education and sound healing meditation, I look forward to integrating deeper into our wellness community and assisting your healing journey. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions, see you soon!
