Fawz Amin

Fawz’s style is best described as targeted deep-tissue relief. He brings thoughtful and effective treatments customized to each individual. He uses various therapeutic techniques to address concerns from general tightness and relaxation to injuries, rehabilitation and prevention. His approach to treatment includes a custom plan tailored to each individual, using various manual techniques coupled with resistance and stretching techniques to bring balance to one’s body and empower his patients to take control of their pursuit of a healthy lifestyle to reach their physical goals.

Fawz has always appreciated maintaining a mind-body connection through a natural holistic approach to facilitate the body. Having practiced Martial Arts throughout his life, he learned how to heal and prevent injuries through massage and movement. Later he found himself inspired to pursue an education in Massage Therapy at the Vancouver College of Massage Therapy to expand his knowledge of manual techniques and the human body. Fawz uses a combination of massage, stretching and resistance-strengthening strategies to stimulate blood flow and promote balance to the targeted muscles bringing harmony within the body.

Fawz has experience working with athletes, office workers, Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, TMJ Disorder, headaches, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, strains and sprains, tendonitis and repetitive stress injuries, low back pain, shoulder pain, neck pain, chronic pain, and general stress.
