Lauren Sutton (RMT, LLCC)
Registered Massage Therapist
Certified Lymphedema Therapist
I have been a Registered Massage Therapist since 2006, after graduating from Centennial College with a diploma in Massage Therapy. After working for several months, I realized that there is more to the body than just the musculo-skeletal system. Through extensive post-graduate training, I have gained insight into the importance of subtle touch and what can be learned from the body.
Over the past 7 years, I have worked with Chiropractors, Physiotherapists, Personal Trainers, and other Registered Massage Therapists. I have treated a wide variety of complaints, both chronic and acute. People with repetitive strain injuries, fibromyalgia, whiplash, headaches, back, neck, and joint pain are just a few of those who have found relief with my treatments.
My techniques are wide and varied, ranging from aggressive myofascial stretching and trigger point releases, to moderate Swedish massage, to subtle joint articulation techniques, lymphatic drainage, and craniosacral therapy. My knowledge, intuition, and skill are felt through my hands as I 'Insist Gently' as one person put it, that the tissues relax, release and retrain themselves to greater function and less pain.
Through work with overlapping systems, such as Lymphatic, Visceral, Craniosacral and the fascial connective tissue that links them, as well as a good measure of therapeutic intuition, I am able to find where the body is under the most amount of strain. Being able to assist these spots before they break down helps prevent pain, injury, and more trauma to the tissue.
No matter the reason you are seeking treatment, be it therapy or relaxation, I am sure I can help!
