Rodrigo Zimmermann joins us after graduating from Vancouver College of Massage Therapy and is currently accepting new patients. He is passionate about caring for others and participating with patients in the process of improving their mobility and overall wellness.

He loves Martial Arts and gymnastics and has already practiced Karate and Kung fu in his life. Through the practice of martial arts, he grew an interest in how movement intrinsically affects our whole body and how our nervous system plays a role in it.

He believes the body is a vehicle that shapes our experience of life and as a massage therapy student, he had the opportunity to observe how complex and intrinsic our body is, from its atomic level of organization to its human organism level in which, marvelously, all body systems intertwine with each other to keep this vehicle in balance, alive and in movement.

Rodrigo learned an array of techniques, such as Swedish, Myofascial release, Orthopedic & Sports Massage, and other Neuromuscular techniques, which have enabled him to contribute to the process of helping his patients find physical, mental and emotional balance. His treatment style focuses on putting the patient in a parasympathetic state so that the body can rest from and digest all the challenges, pain and anxiety of daily life.
