About Alex

Alex was born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina. At a young age he met master Liu Ming with whom he learned acupressure Tui Na massage and trained in internal martial arts such as Chen Style Tai chi, Yiquan, Baguazhang and Qi Gong. You can read more about Alex [HERE](https://www.naturalharmonytaichi.com/) He moved to Vancouver in September 2016 and completed his training as a Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner and Registered Acupuncturist. Thanks to his many years of practice he incorporates mindfulness to offer patients deep presence and attention tailoring each treatment with a warm and integrative approach. He recently won Gold at the 43rd Can-Am international martial arts championship in Chen Taichi form. He offers a variety of treatment modalities ranging from Tui na (acupressure/deep tissue) massage, Acupuncture based on TCM diagnostic methods and treatment strategies, cupping (with or without needles), electro stimulation acupuncture and gua sha (scraping). Some of the conditions he enjoys treating the most are sport injuries, musculoskeletal conditions, chronic or acute pain, insomnia, digestive issues and emotional imbalances. He strives to make his patients feel more centered, peaceful and present after each treatment. He is fluent in English, Spanish, Portuguese and is currently learning Mandarin. Testimonials: Fabiola Perez Castan: I have received several massages from Alex Litvinoff during 2019. I have to mention that I have been receiving massages from different people for years as I have moved from one city to another, and Alex has a gift for feeling muscles and treating them as needed. I have a permanent injury to my left trapezium that requires different treatment than any temporary muscle pain (bad sleeping position, muscle fatigue etc). Alex definitely knows how to synchronize with your muscles and flow with them during the massage, to heal or improve them as much as possible. I highly recommend him, either to be healed or to be relaxed. Gabriela Rosenthal: Excellent technique through pressure at different key points in the body where there is tension. It was great for relaxing. I highly recommend Alex. Ilana Wainberg: Alex is very professional and also a nice person . I had back pains and after some sessions I could feel a relief without taking any medication, just with his massage. I highly recommend his services. Carol Gandra: Extraordinary human and professional. In all the massage sessions I felt relaxed and welcomed. The best massage in Vancouver! Dan Howard: I came to Alex for a deep tissue massage when I had just finished 4 weeks of hard labour in -10° and was feeling very stiff. By the end of the session I was feeling light on my feet, and the tension in my shoulders and forearms had felt like it had resided for the time being. After a couple days of stretching and reminding my body to relax again, I felt more flexible and confident then I have in months! Nicolas Gonzalez Thomas: “I sometimes struggle with chronic tension and find massages in general to be too superficial. Alex was able to work with the muscles and tensions in a deeper way than I have had in the past, it was a complete full-body reset. I highly recommend Alex’s massages!” Santiago Yanez: Having been to a handful of RMTs, massagers, and acupuncturist in the city, I can safely say that Alex has an amazing ability to find the right spot!. His ability to home-in on a particular issue or ailment and work to heal the area is exceptional. As I professional dancer would highly recommend visiting Alex for any issue and will be recommending him warm, inviting, and highly professional studio to everyone I know.
