Ben Granger, BSc (Sports Therapy), COTT, Massage Specialist
I have a passion to see people perform at their optimal level.
I have always been fascinated by how our bodies are created and the intricate way all the different systems work today. Having grown up playing a number of sports I saw first hand the benefits of physical therapy. Through this interest and an understanding of the need for skilled therapists I was drawn to my chosen studies.
I graduated in 2007 with a Bachelor of Science Honours Degree, in Sports Therapy at the University of Kent at Medway.
I am qualified in Sports Massage, Therapeutic Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, Dynamic Cupping, Trigger Point Therapy, Laser Therapy, Onsen Therapy and Relaxation Massage. I have over 16 years' experience in the industry, and I have a passion to see people perform at their optimal level.
After my wife and I immigrated to Canada and settled in Calgary I became a Registered Massage Therapist with the Canadian Massage and Manual Osteopathic Therapists Association (CMMOTA). I worked in Calgary at a busy and successful clinic specializing in pain and tissue rehabilitation. Whilst working there I trained in Laser Therapy and became certified in Onsen Therapy. This is a highly effective series of techniques that combines manual osteopathy and massage to assess and correct structural and functional deviations, to provide long term pain relief.
I also worked at several clinics in the Bow Valley offering various massage modalities to locals and tourists alike. I find great satisfaction in tailoring my appointments to meet the needs of a variety of clients, from Olympic athletes to retirees. It is highly rewarding to assist clients in getting back to their full health so they can continue to pursue their passions.
Since moving to beautiful Kelowna I continue to maintain my CMMOTA registration. I will be taking the B.C. board exams later this year, so that I will be able to direct bill to extended health care benefits as I did in Alberta. Until then I will be offering massage at a discounted rate, to those who have no benefits or those who have run out of coverage. I look forward to working with you to help you reach your health and wellness goals!
