What people love about MSPAR Massage Therapy

“Kristen was amazing to work with! I dislocated my knee cap and once I got the clear from the doctor to walk on it I went right to Kristen. Her knowledge was very impressive, she pushed me just enough out of my comfort zone to give me the confidence in trying exercise again. She was very reassuring and would look up anything she was unsure about. I would highly recommend Kristen to anyone with an injury.” ~ Cori O

"I came to Kristen after dealing with ongoing back pain. It was only getting worse and it was becoming rare that I could get through a day of work without extreme pain. After my first massage with Kristen I noticed a considerable difference. Now, after consistently seeing her for massages, I can get through work with much less pain and some days virtually none. Kristen has even provided me with advice on things I can do to further help by myself outside of massages. She's always friendly and attentive to my needs. Kristen is extremely knowledgeable and knows exactly where to target to elevate pain. I would recommend Kristen to anyone; you won't regret it!” ~ Janelle F

"I cannot thank MSPAR enough, in particular Kristen, for all her help after I put my back out. Without her experience and treatment I would not have returned to my normal activities so quickly. Kristen is professional and very passionate about what she does and this reflects in her concern for her patients. Kristen mixes in massages and manual therapy to help relieve the pain and strengthen the muscles. Kristen also sends emails with exercises that can be done at home. I would not hesitate to recommend Kristen and MSPAR to anyone." ~ Carlo L

"Best massage ever!" ~ Sylvia C.

"Kristen is fabulous. Always feel so great after seeing her." ~ Nancy L.

"Kristen was very knowledgeable and down to earth in chatting regarding ways to improve my health regarding my TBI. It was a delightful visit and I felt much better. She has a background in Athletic Therapy and Massage Therapy- what an expertise! Thanks Kristen!" ~ Dianne D.

Massage Therapy in Stratford

Many have experienced the benefits of massage therapy, but Kristen Louwagie RMT, CAT(c) also has the advanced training as an Athletic Therapist. This training gives her expanded assessment and rehab skills over and above most massage therapists. Kristen may include joint mobilizations and exercise prescriptions that you won't experience with most therapists. She wants to see you get over your injury and get on with your sport or activity and live your life to the fullest! That said, if a relaxation massage is what you're after, she also does a great job with the more traditional relaxation techniques.

Your massage session...

Each massage session will begin with a quick re-assessment, which will ensure you have made the progress necessary to step ahead with your recovery or pick up on new issues you didn't know you have. Next, you can expect to understand what injury, dysfunction or muscle spasm will be treated. Then your issue will be treated in a comprehensive way that will address pain, tissue quality, range of motion, imbalance or weakness. You may then be given home exercises that will help maintain the benefits of your treatment through to your next session.
