Maria Teresa Sampang BA, BSc, RMT
Teresa is a valuable member of our healthcare team. She has been a registered massage therapist and has practiced in Richmond Hill/ Thornhill since 2004. She has a background in Psychology and Kinesiology and holds degrees in both. Prior to her career in massage therapy, she was a certified personal trainer and continues to teach fitness and exercise, in addition to her massage therapy practice. As a kinesiologist, she is skilled in treating sports injuries, particularly injuries of the shoulder joint, in which she has extensive experience. She also has expertise in pregnancy ( pre and post natal) massage, and can vouch for the benefits it provides through the discomforts of pregnancy, having had 2 children of her own. Teresa believes that everyone can benefit from massage therapy, whether it is for stress relief, or pain relief. Everyone deserves to live lives that are relatively pain-free, and Teresa will be more than happy to assist you in achieving that goal. |
