Laura Del Papa
Laura is a graduate from Sutherland-Chan School of Massage Therapy. She has had the chance to work with a variety of people including athletes, stroke patients, seniors, as well as treating different conditions including head and neck complications (whiplash, tension headaches, tinnitus, etc.), temporomandibular joint dysfunctions (TMJD), thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS), individuals recovering post-injury and post-surgery. A strong proponent for movement as a means of feeling one’s best, Laura has experienced the ups and downs of living an active lifestyle – practicing horseback riding, dance, and rock climbing throughout her life – and she quickly recognized the benefits of manual therapies in both rehabilitation and prevention. As an RMT, Laura often incorporates rhythmic techniques, joint mobilizations, muscle energy techniques and fascial work to the general Swedish massage approach in order to address the body as wholly as possible. Aside from English, Laura is fluent in French and can conduct appointments in either language.
