Ideal Massage

Dan founded Ideal Massage in 2013 with the goal of helping clients achieve optimal health outcomes through massage and complementary therapy.

His massage style includes deep tissue, stretching, cross fibre and trigger point work, as well as kneading and folding muscles.

Dan takes the time to understand his clients’ health situations and their desired health outcomes. 

As everyone is different, their treatment requires a tailored approach actively. Dan has found that a full-on deep tissue massage can’t always handle by clients who suffer from stress, illness or had an awful week at work. Thus, their treatment requires a tailored massage every visit. 

For light pressure clients, their muscle pain or tightness gets too much for them and would need deeper work.

Listening to what clients are feeling and how they have been feeling is key to providing them with the right treatment. 

Dan’s goal is to not just give you a terrific massage but also make you feel better all the time.
