Rachel Schuck, RMT / MOTRegistered Massage Therapist / Manual Osteopathic Therapist

Rachel has been practicing Massage Therapy for over 25 years. She graduated from
the West Coast College of Massage Therapy in Vancouver before moving to Kelowna to
begin her journey as an RMT, while enjoying the abundant recreation the Okanagan
offers in all four seasons. Her passion for the healing arts began at a young age and
has grown over the years as she is continually inspired by the body’s complexity and it’s
innate ability to heal with proper guidance and facilitation. Her work synthesizes
traditional and modern treatment techniques with a thorough understanding of the
structure and function of the body. A treatment with Rachel may incorporate modalities
such as deep tissue massage, myofascial remodeling, Swedish massage, trigger point
therapy, stretching and Muscle Energy Techniques, blending skill with intuition to
achieve thorough, effective results while working within each person’s comfort level.

During the pandemic, Rachel stepped back from her practice and enrolled in a 14-
month Manual Osteopathic Therapy program to delve a little deeper beyond the
musculoskeletal system. This training has enhanced her skills as an RMT, as well as
provided more ‘tools’ to explore the other systems of the body, such as the nervous
system, the lymphatic/circulatory system, as well as the organs. Her focus is to
efficiently find the root cause of dysfunction and arising compensations using a variety
of techniques in order to provide the most effective treatment tailored specifically for
each individual.

Rachel is a compassionate therapist that understands that life can become unbalanced
in today’s hectic, fast-paced environment. Whether it be an acute injury, chronic pain, or
stress-overload, it is essential to slow down and give your body the space to heal, let
your mind have a moment to unwind. Rachel strongly believes that incorporating
manual therapy into your healthcare can help lead to a more balanced state of wellbeing,
and she looks forward to connecting with you.
