Billy Wiegand

RMT

Billy obtained his diploma in massage therapy from Sutherland-Chan College. He
previously taught swimming, aqua-fitness, music and canoe-tripping at high levels.

Billy believes the road to recovery is based on clients receiving clear information,
which ultimately leads to a healthy outcome. He incorporates teaching from his
previous experience into every treatment, to ensure his clients can continue to
improve and make progress in each session.

Billy takes a biomechanical approach to treatment, focusing on sports massage.
Using muscle testing to identify areas that need attention, he treats the tissues
and then re-tests to confirm the intervention has been effective.

Through the use of joint mobilizations, fascial and muscle energy techniques, Billy
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 and improve
mobility.
