Xian is a registered massage therapist and a graduate of Mount Royal University. As a manual therapist, he is committed to helping clients manage pain, improve mobility, and recover from physical strain.

Xian integrates a variety of non-traditional techniques such as RAPID NeuroFascial Reset, Graston Technique®, and Fascial Stretch Therapy™ to promote structural balance and optimize movement. He further enhanced his skills in myofascial release techniques by studying with Tom Myers, author of Anatomy Trains.

Each session begins with a health history review and physical assessment to create a personalized treatment plan.
