Massage Therapy

Massage therapy is a hands-on manipulation of the soft tissues and joints of the body. The soft tissues include muscle, skin, tendons and associated fascia, ligaments and joint capsules. Massage has many diverse physiological effects, which are primarily due to the therapist's hands moving over the body.

Massage therapy is a hands-on manipulation of the soft tissues and joints of the body. The soft tissues include muscle, skin, tendons and associated fascia, ligaments and joint capsules. Massage has many diverse physiological effects, which are primarily due to the therapist's hands moving over the body. The different movements can physically stretch muscles, ligaments, tendons and fascia, encourage the circulation through the tissue, inhibit muscular spasms and be either sedating or stimulating to the nervous system.


Acupuncture

Acupuncture works on the body in a way that is both specific and generalized. It can target muscle aches and pains directly, providing instant relief. It can also regulate the nervous systems, transitioning the body to move more into the calm, restful state that stimulates healing. This generalized calm that comes over the body during an acupuncture treatment is what allows our systems to “rese... Read More

ICBC approved for motor vehicle accidents. Please check your individual insurance for coverage.

My role as an Athletic Therapist in this multidisciplinary clinic is pivotal for patients to transition from passive care to active care. Individualized exercise prescription was used to create postural integrity through proper muscle sequencing and activation, which ultimately restores coordination and strength. This was relevant to maximize performance, ensure a safe return to work and play as well as prevent injuries.

Beyond exercise prescription and education, my scope of practice includes:
• Helping to prepare and educate clients both mentally and physically
• Providing manual therapy and applying strapping and taping techniques to provide support
• Assessing whether athletes can return to play
• Examining patients and treating injuries
• Create supportive nutritional and lifestyle strategies
• Collaborating with Chiropractors, Massage Therapists and other health-care practitioners on
injury prevention and rehabilitation programmes.

Luke first came to acupuncture and Chinese Medicine over a decade ago while seeking to improve all aspects of his health. The wonderful outcomes inspired him to make a change and share the gift of this medicine with others. Luke aims to improve the quality of life of those he works with. He draws on the experience of his own healing journey to help others navigate through the blockages they may encounter on their path to wellness.

Luke’s active and adventurous lifestyle has provided him with a strong familiarity of injury recovery and rehabilitation. This is complimented by a keen interest in pain management informed by the bio-psycho-social approach. In addition to his education, Luke’s background as a professional ski instructor, a competitive freestyle skier, and a participant in a wide variety of other sports have given him a practical foundation in biomechanics.

Prior to completing his acupuncture studies at Pacific Rim College in Victoria BC, Luke completed a 3-year program in Chinese Medical Qigong. He has received additional training in Balance Method acupuncture, myofascial needling, and modern pain science. Luke’s practice has been influenced by the Chinese martial arts, somatic therapy, Daoist and Buddhist philosophy, and the works of Carl Jung.

Acupuncture works on the body in a way that is both specific and generalized. It can target muscle aches and pains directly, providing instant relief. It can also regulate the nervous systems, transitioning the body to move more into the calm, restful state that stimulates healing. This generalized calm that comes over the body during an acupuncture treatment is what allows our systems to “reset” in a way. Our bodies know how to fix themselves, but if they are not in a relaxed state the opportunity does not arise for this healing to occur. This is why getting acupuncture regularly benefits specific concerns, but also enhances our health in the bigger picture.

I saw how well Traditional Chinese Medicine, and more specifically acupuncture, provided a medicine that promoted balance in an overstimulated culture. Understanding the dynamic healing potential of acupuncture led me to pursue this field of medicine.

I completed my education in Victoria, BC at Pacific Rim College, a leading school of natural medicine in North America. After completing my studies, I remained at the college as a faculty member, teaching courses in Chinese diet therapy and ethics. With the arrival of our son earlier this year, my wife and I decided it was time to move closer to the outdoor lifestyle that we craved, and the Comox Valley was the perfect fit!

Please note Dresdens practice is dedicated women’s health and therefore exclusively treats women only.

Dresden is a 2012 graduate from the West Coast College of Massage Therapy. She spent the first 8 years of her career, treating a variety of people in Victoria, and Metchosin. In 2020, Dresden relocated to her hometown of Comox, and began taking special interest in Women’s physical, emotional and spiritual health. She has now wholly dedicated her practice to treating women throughout their many life stages.

At the core of all of Dresden’s treatments, is nervous system support. Dresden is also trained in Craniosacral Therapy, and subscribes to the understanding that the body often holds unresolved “stuff”, that can manifest into physical discomfort. When the body feels safe, and tended to, we can begin to address these stuck areas, to help facilitate in the process of letting go. She treats mostly in silence, to encourage inner presence, and uses a medium style of pressure, to allow the body to gently unwind and release tension. Dresden has an informed treatment approach, which is also guided by her intuition, into an application that is attentive, therapeutic, and nurturing.

In addition to being an RMT who is trained in the Upledger method of Craniosacral Therapy, Dresden has also taken her yoga teacher training and has attended many mindfulness and meditation workshops.
