Andrew Nemeth has been practicing Massage Therapy for more than twenty five years. He has been treating clients in a variety of therapeutic settings, from owning and operating busy practices in the Lower Mainland, touring with professional football (soccer) teams in Africa and Europe, and has most recently specialized in working with our senior citizens. In the past 15 years is focus has been in the field of Geriatrics, with specializing on maintaining mobility and pain management with our aging population. Andrew has presented at symposiums across the lower mainland discussing issues regarding the health of our seniors going forward and how Massage Therapy plays a role in healthy living. He continues to be the lead in the advanced peer group research of Massage Therapy treatment for seniors in his profession. Andrew always brings a level of passion, learning, and curiosity that serves his patients and colleagues extremely well. His approach to treatment or philosophy is examining each patient globally. He always examines the whole person in an attempt to better understand and determine the root causes of any ailment or conditions presented. Stress on our bodies often has a musculoskeletal component that affects the soft tissue structures (muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, skin, fibrous tissues, and synovial membranes). The soft tissue neuro-muscular response component can often result in, and is not limited to, the soft tissue structures retracting, and becoming immobile, etc. These soft tissue patterns often lead to muscular shortening and thickening resulting in discomfort and pain for the patient. Most times these patterns are longer term and chronic in nature. Releasing the soft tissue and fascia decreases and eliminates pain and discomfort; it also can help in lengthening and restoring one’s correct movement. A healthy lifestyle is something that is important to Andrew. He often shares the benefits of a well- balanced lifestyle including staying active, incorporating healthy nutrition, good quality sleep, emotional wellness and some form of spirituality. In his spare time, on a regular basis, he partakes in running, weight lifting, Tough Mudders and any other activities that keep him moving. Andrew’s practice today focuses on ICBC related injuries/ pre and post natal treatments/athletic and active sports injuries. Andrew looks forward to the opportunity of working with you and will do his very best to help you return to optimum condition and, “get you moving.”

Karl believes that communication and trust are essential in a therapeutic environment. His success and patient loyalty are due to his ability to listen, assess, have a clear discussion with his patients and provide appropriate therapy. He loves to work deep, but his experience with the elderly has allowed him to develop the ability to adjust his pressure to the comfort level of any demographic. He works hand in hand with other therapists to give you the best possible care, and is a strong believer in the positive effects of patient education. He feels that every patient should have a clear understanding of why they are feeling what they’re feeling, and what needs to happen in order to see improvements. He welcomes pre and post natal massage, relaxation focused treatments, as well as difficult cases as he loves to think outside the box, and always ensures that every patient is comfortable and at ease on his table. He doesn’t just massage, he treats! For over 10 years, Karl has worked in sports and physiotherapy clinics from the Tri-Cities to North Vancouver. He has a continued interest in sports massage, providing deep tissue treatments as well as myofascial release, joint mobilization, Trigger Point Release, PNF Stretching and many more modalities.
