Zachery, a RMT in St. Albert, aims for the root cause of pain through a slow, deliberate, melting style of connective-tissue focused massage therapy, that bridges clinical correction with nervous-system regulation by meeting you where you are and listening to what your body is ready to let go of that day.
Approach: You could think of Zachery as your 'highly skilled, two-handed foam roller.' Like a foam roller, his work targets your fascia, the deep connective tissue web that can get tight and restricted, causing pain and stiffness. But unlike a roller, he can listen, adapt, and precisely release tension that a tool alone cannot reach.
Professional & Safe: Registered Massage Therapist — trained, insured, trauma-aware.
Techniques & Approach: Focusing on the body's connective tissue (fascia) through every treatment, working with the flow of your body’s natural rhythm to restore balance and release tension without painful force.
Mood & Vibe: Calm and chill, slow and controlled, intentional and methodical, connective-tissue focused; brief “good relieving pain” discomfort may occur, but overall everything should never painful.
Imagine the deep, sustained relief of a foam roller, but highly targeted, adaptive, and guided by a trained hand, that's Zachery.
His massages are all delivered with a slow, connective-tissue focused approach, all guided by the body. Across all styles, expect slow, flow and chill-vibes to move you from tense to focused calm, all through various pressures, as needed.
Deep Tissue: Slow, fluid, intentional; we lower the table and apply deep foam-roller depth delivered with invitation, not pain.
Therapeutic: Firm yet yielding; tuned to your body’s resistance to restore balance and function.
Relaxation: Light, rhythmic, smooth for deep down-regulation and calm.
Starting with reception check-in and a brief consult followed by a guided, communicative treatment session and ending with a calm post-session check-in.
Arrival & Intake: Reception may request ID/insurance and confirm your intake form, followed by you and Zachery entering the treatment room, having a brief conversation about goals, focus areas, pressure preference, allergies, heating pad temperature, and positioning.
During the Session: You undress to your comfort level; a verbal check is given before Zachery enters the room, checking pressure throughout, and announcing transitions (such as moving to the glutes).
After the Session: Wrapping up with a short chat about home care and next steps, while encouraged to get up slowly and take your time.
