Initial Functional Assessment

Every new patient begins with a one-on-one functional movement assessment. Blake evaluates posture, range of motion, and any areas of tension or imbalance. This helps tailor a treatment plan to your unique needs—whether you’re recovering from a sports injury, managing TMJ dysfunction, or seeking prenatal care.

Personalized Treatment Session

Based on your assessment, Blake uses a combination of hands-on techniques—myofascial release, trigger point work, isolytic release, PNF stretching, contract stretching—to address pain and restore function. Each session is patient-centred: you decide pressure, pace and any contraindications up front, and Blake adapts his approach if you have a history of trauma or heightened sensitivity.

I have been going to Blake for weekly massage (December 2018 to 2022) and since retirement, monthly. He is professional, personable, and respectful in his approach at each appointment. Blake’s expertise is demonstrated in the consistency and precision he brings to each massage and I truly appreciate the significant increase in mobility and pain relief after every session. I highly recommend his services.

Melissa J.

I can't recommend Blake Robson enough! From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed and at ease. Blake listens attentively and focuses on the specific areas that need the most attention. Do your sore muscles a favor and book an appointment today 😊

I have been going to Blake for over 4 years now on a weekly basis after a sever shoulder injury. He is always professional, if you like a good deep massage he is amazing, if not you guide him and he will adjust to what your needs are. I highly recommend him as an RMT.
