Rachel Schuck, RMT
Registered Massage Therapist · Manual Osteopath
Rachel has been practicing Massage Therapy for over 25 years. She graduated from the West Coast College of Massage Therapy in Vancouver before moving to Kelowna to begin her journey as an RMT, and to enjoy the abundance in nature and outdoor recreation the Okanagan has to offer in all four seasons.
Her passion for the healing arts began at a young age and has grown over the years as she is continually inspired by the body's complexity and its innate ability to heal with proper guidance and facilitation. Her work synthesizes traditional and modern treatment techniques with a thorough understanding of the structure and function of the body.
A treatment with Rachel may incorporate modalities such as deep tissue massage, myofascial remodelling, Swedish massage, trigger point therapy, stretching and Muscle Energy Techniques - blending skill with intuition to achieve thorough, effective results while working within each person's comfort level.
To further enhance her skill set beyond the musculoskeletal system, Rachel enrolled and graduated from the Manual Osteopathic College of Canada. This training provided more tools to explore the other systems of the body - the nervous system, the lymphatic and circulatory system, and the internal organs - allowing a more comprehensive, whole-body approach to her treatments.
Rachel is a compassionate therapist who understands that life can become unbalanced in today's fast-paced environment. Whether it be an acute injury, chronic pain, or stress-overload, it is essential to slow down and give your body the space to heal and let your mind have a moment to unwind. Rachel strongly believes that incorporating manual therapy into your healthcare can help lead to a more balanced state of wellbeing, and she looks forward to connecting with you.
