Michelle Hanley
(She/Her/Hers) RMT

Education: Vancouver College of Massage Therapy

Experience: A big advocate of working hard and playing harder, Michelle is all too familiar with the physiological effects of the ‘Weekend Warrior’ lifestyle. As a lifelong recreational athlete, she knows balance is key and that manual therapy can play a significant role in maintaining an active body. After a few injuries of her own, Michelle discovered the importance of total body awareness and the difference that active maintenance can make. She has since dedicated herself to educating and helping others through manual therapy.

Marcel Miura Registered Physiotherapist

Marcel Miura is a physiotherapist with a distinctive approach that has made him the go-to expert for patients who haven’t found relief with standard therapy methods. Originally from Brazil, Marcel graduated from the Pontifical Catholic University of Campinas in 2008 and became a Registered Physiotherapist in Canada in 2016.

Marcel’s practice is distinguished by his use of Fascial Counterstrain, a gentle, hands-on manual therapy that addresses the body’s interconnected systems. This approach has attracted high-profile clients, including professional athletes and celebrities in pain and discomfort, to come under his care.

In addition to Fascial Counterstrain, Marcel integrates Dry Needling, Craniosacral Therapy, Visceral Manipulation, Neuromeningeal Manipulation and Muscle Energy Technique into his treatment plans, further enhancing his ability to cater to the specific needs of each client.

His approach is particularly valued by those who require a comprehensive, whole-body treatment strategy, whether they are managing chronic conditions, recovering from sports-related injuries, or seeking to maintain an active lifestyle despite aging or comorbidities.

Marcel is especially skilled at treating issues such as lower back, shoulder, neck, and knee pain, as well as addressing systemic issues like digestive disorders (IBS), headaches, POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome), pelvic floor issues, whiplash, chronic fatigue syndrome, and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.
