Text to book: 778-928-1978
I am a Registered Massage Therapist with 18 years of clinical experience, working primarily with athletes and active individuals. My treatment approach is highly adaptable: while I offer effective deep tissue techniques, I recognize that deeper pressure is not always better. I prioritize listening to your needs and tailor each session accordingly, maintaining detailed chart notes so your preferences are respected at every visit. I believe the most effective care is collaborative. I empower patients with individualized home-care strategies, supporting long-term healing by encouraging active participation in their own wellbeing.
Outside the clinic, I am passionate about animal welfare and environmental advocacy. I spend my free time hiking in the mountains, participating in animal rescue efforts, and working toward legal reform for animals and the planet. I also host and co-produce Animal Voices radio.
Direct Billing is offered through Telus E-Claims and BlueCross
Please note - I have a condition called multiple chemical sensitivity and am severely impacted by synthetic fragrances/toxins such as perfume, scented personal care products and cigarettes (marijuana is fine). Please refrain from wearing scented products to your appointment.

Ryan Kim, R.TCMP., MOT, RMT
Ryan Kim is a Registered Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner (R.TCMP.), Manual Osteopathic Therapist (MOT), and Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) in British Columbia. He has also completed the Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine (DTCM) program and is currently preparing for the DTCM registration examination. He provides patient-centred care with an emphasis on thoughtful assessment, evidence-informed treatment, and patient education.
Ryan believes that every person is unique. He begins each visit with a thorough assessment to understand the patient’s concerns, goals, and movement patterns. Treatment is individualized and provided within the scope of the profession booked, with the goal of improving movement, managing pain, and supporting overall well-being.
Registered Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner
Ryan provides acupuncture, traditional Chinese herbal medicine, cupping, gua sha, and other traditional Chinese medicine therapies. Treatment is individualized to each patient’s presentation and health goals, with a focus on pain management, functional recovery, and overall well-being.
Manual Osteopathic Therapist
Ryan practises osteopathy using a gentle, hands-on approach to improve mobility, restore movement, and support overall body function. Depending on the individual’s needs, treatment may incorporate structural techniques, craniosacral therapy, visceral manipulation, and other osteopathic approaches.
Registered Massage Therapist
Ryan provides evidence-informed assessment and treatment for musculoskeletal conditions using manual therapy, myofascial techniques, joint mobilization, therapeutic exercise, and patient education.
Ryan does not believe that more pressure necessarily leads to better outcomes. Instead, treatment pressure is determined by clinical assessment, tissue response, treatment goals, and each patient’s individual needs. Whether using lighter or deeper pressure, the focus is always on providing safe, effective, and clinically appropriate care.

I work with busy parents, athletes, and driven professionals who have tried everything for their chronic pain or injuries — and nothing has truly worked.
If you’re exhausted from cycling through physios, RMTs, and practitioners who treat symptoms but never address the root cause — and you’re ready for focused, intentional care from someone committed to getting it right — I’m your guy.
For over 10 years, I’ve helped people who were told their pain was “chronic,” “complex,” or just part of getting older.
I didn’t accept that.
Even as a Registered Massage Therapist, I pushed beyond the scope of standard practice. I dove into neuro-psycho-somatic dynamics and neurophysiology to understand how trauma — especially subconscious trauma — becomes stored in the fascia and nervous system, creating chronic tension and persistent pain.
I became more interested in why instead of just what.
Pain isn’t random. It’s compensatory. Structural. Protective.
I don’t sell sessions. I deliver outcomes. A middle-aged woman diagnosed with “frozen shoulder” by doctors and physios — told to manage it — lifted her arm pain-free after one session.
A 70-year-old woman who now feels stronger and moves better than she did in her 40s — completely pain-free and training with confidence.
A young athlete who rebuilt his body safely and earned acceptance into a European professional league.
A father who couldn’t raise his shoulder for years — full range restored and pain gone in a second visit.
These aren’t motivational stories. They’re structural corrections. When you address fascia, compensation patterns, and nervous system bracing at the root, the body responds.
Fast. Stronger. Pain-free. Back in control. If you’re serious about results — not maintenance — we should talk.

Mr. David Veenstra RMT
I’ve been a Registered Massage Therapist for the past 18 years, I’ve been helping active people like you stay moving and doing what they love. I’m an athlete- always have been, always will be. Being physical is a life style; the constant pursuit of pushing mental, emotional and physical boundaries.
I’ve dabbled in almost everything. Gymnastics, competitive basketball, volleyball and body building. I biked across Canada and did open water swimming. Most recently, I tried HYROX for the first time this past Dec.2025, and have competed heavily in crossfit. In 2018, and 2019 I placed 6th and 8th in Masters Men, 35-39 at the CanWest games. I’ve also done track, diving, skiing, snowboarding- even ballroom dancing with my wife. My experience plays a large role in my treatments, not to mention, my rehab from personal injuries!
I have an intuitive gift for healing- focusing on deep tissue and myofascial release. Im a HUGE advocate of self care.
I treat a wide variety of people, but my passion is fitness and those living - or seeking- an active lifestyle.
