Deep Tissue Massage
Swedish massage techniques have been used effectively for 200 years. They include deep, firm muscle kneading, muscle stripping, cross-fibre frictioning and penetrating petrissage techniques. You are in control of the pressure; it can be as deep or as light as you want. Let's soften the knots and get the blood flowing!

Fascial Release
Fascia encases and runs through all muscle. It is a spring loaded mesh that stores and releases energy as it moves.  Fascia should have stretch, fluid suppleness and independent slide and glide from surrounding tissues for powerful, dynamic movement.  Fascial techniques include skin rolling, shearing and deep traction along fascial planes to return dynamic elasticity.

Trigger Point Release
Trigger points are tiny nodules of irritated tissue within muscle that can generate big pain.  They can be the cause of muscle weakness and tenderness as well as refer pain to other areas.  Techniques for release include slow muscle stripping and ischemic compression; all in an effort to release the nodules, allow blood flow, and return the area to normal function.

Scar tissue Release
Sprains, strains, incisions and micro-tears result in an inflammatory response.  Areas of scarring develop resulting in adhered, thickened tissue that is bound together and resists fluid movement. Release of scar tissue includes a combination of techniques including stripping, shearing and cross-fibre frictioning.  The goal: soften thickened tissue and regain stretch and freedom of movement.

What clientele is saying:

"Erik has consistently impressed me with his ongoing learning, his talent and feel for the body’s musculature and fascia and his ability to resolve issues for me."

R.I. Nelson, BC

"This is not your light fluffy massage. Erik finds, and works on the points that really make a difference. Very therapeutic. I could not maintain my active lifestyle without him."

D.V. , Nelson, BC
"Erik was key in my recovery after a serious car accident. His holistic approach and patient intuitive sense helped immensely in the healing process.  His massage techniques are restorative and seem to dissolve all the painful muscle tension I was experiencing."
K.E., Nelson, BC

"I came to Erik for symptom management of a long term shoulder injury; and I absolutely mean it when I say he is the most talented massage therapist I have ever worked with (and there have been a lot over the years!) Not only were the treatments effective, but it was through his suggestion and expertise that led me to the specialists who finally came up with the correct diagnosis. I appreciate his expertise immensely, and his sense of humour perhaps even more. Highly recommended!"

J.C., Kaslo, BC

"I have been a client of Erik Treijs for over 10 years.  His expertise has helped me many times. Some years ago I had a very painful left shoulder, which incapacitated me. I had seen other health professionals but had limited success. I asked Erik to work on it and I am happy to say that the shoulder is now healed and there is no lingering pain."

B.A., Nelson, BC

After fracturing my back in my 20s and having two children I was living with chronic pain. For years I’d go to massage once a week to be able to cope.  After switching to Erik seven years ago, my body has completely changed from his myofascial release technique and I now only need to go every couple of months and am not living with chronic pain.

K.L., Nelson, BC
"Erik has considerable expertise and intuition in going deep into tissue and resolving issues. I have been treated for many years by massage practitioners, and Erik is my go to resolution guy in keeping my body tuned to play hard in the mountains. I appreciate his talent!"
