John's journey into the field of massage therapy was inspired by his personal experiences as an athlete. During his time competing with the men's volleyball team at Capilano University, he underwent the injury rehabilitation process with the support of physical therapy and chiropractic care. This sparked his interest in bridging the gap between injury and returning to activity. He further developed this passion while completing his undergraduate degree in Kinesiology at UBC, where he also served as an undergraduate coaching assistant in the varsity weight room.

John's treatment philosophy centers on a patient-centered approach. He combines manual therapy and education to help people understand their pain, explore ways to move, and collaborate to build the capacity for a fuller life.
