Sean Gill RMT
Sean graduated from the University of British Columbia with a degree in Environmental Sustainability. After several years in the hospitality sector, Sean decided to return to school and attended the Vancouver College of Massage Therapy, becoming licensed as a registered massage therapist (RMT).
Sean participated in several sports growing up, including hockey, soccer and golf. As a young, competitive athlete Sean regularly received physiotherapy and massage therapy and quickly learned of the important role that massage therapy plays in injury prevention and pain reduction. Sean's history with sport sparked his interest and eagerness to become an RMT and give back to his community by helping others.
The primary massage techniques Sean utilizes include deep swedish massage, myofascial release and active releases. These techniques help decrease sympathetic nervous system activity (the system responsible for the fight-or-flight, or stress response), which contributes to muscle relaxation and pain management. Sean has extensive experience treating patients with both chronic and acute sport-related injuries, neurological injuries, and systemic conditions. Sean's main focus are the back, shoulders, and neck; however, all regions of the body are quite inter-connected and Sean acknowledges the importance in considering and treating the body as a whole.
When he is not in the clinic Sean likes to spend his time on the mountains in the winter, on the golf courses in the summer, and watching European soccer.
