Chris Smyth, RMT

Christopher (he/him) began his career in Massage Therapy after graduating from ICT Northumberland College (2015) here in Halifax, Nova Scotia. His treatments focus heavily on the deeper postural muscles and the underlying issues that can create pain and discomfort in the body. Christopher has a great knowledge of anatomy after teaching at ICT Northumberland (2019,2022). Beyond deep Swedish massage and Fascial techniques, Christopher also brings eastern Gua Sha, Cupping, Tui Na and Suikodo modalities to his table. He has a strong passion for finding out the root of a person’s discomfort or pain and works with his clients to discover the cause rather than focusing on the symptoms.

Christophers goal in massage is to create a safe and welcoming environment while using his techniques and experience to help show your body where healing is most required. His philosophy on health includes the mental and emotional side to healing and tries his best to accommodate this during treatment. Christopher is more than willing to offer homecare in the form of strengthening, stretching and other exercises; encouraging his clients to take some ‘me time’ for a hot bath and favorite beverage.

Christophers experience has given him knowledge on a range of postural and motion issues including pre- and post-surgery care, frozen shoulder, low back and neck pain, as well as tendinitis and overuse injuries. In addition to helping with anxiety, stress and mental health, chronic pain, and autoimmune disorders. He believes that through massage anyone can become more in tune with their body, leading to a healthier, happier lifestyle.​

Commonly treats:  Chronic postural issues, Hip and Shoulder dysfunctions, Low back and Neck pain, Fascial restrictions, Overuse injuries. 

Brick by brick, we'll build wellness together.
