Certified Fascial Manipulation® Specialist, Fascial Manipulation®Teacher & Neuromuscular Therapist
After completing his “Therapeutic Massage Training Diploma Program” and “Neuromuscular Therapy Certification Program” in Florida, Alp started to work in physical therapy centers as a soft tissue manual therapist in Istanbul, Turkey. He then completed the Balanced Body® Pilates Instructor Training Program in order to combine manual therapy with exercise. In 2011, Alp started a part-time, post-graduate program called "Higher Diploma in Neuromuscular Therapy" at the College of Complementary Medical Education in Dublin, Ireland. Upon his graduation in 2014, Alp decided to focus on fascia science in order to understand and interpret the functional integration of the human body. He attended international fascial anatomy dissection workshops, fascia research summer school in Germany and International Fascia Research Congresses. This experience led to teaching workshops on functional anatomy, individualized orthopaedic medical exercises, and sustainable self care programs.
In 2015, Alp was officially introduced to the Fascial Manipulation® - Stecco Method in Washington DC. He completed all of his Fascial Manipulation® courses with Dr. Antonio Stecco. In 2021, he became a Certified Fascial Manipulation® Specialist. He continued his training and completed the teacher training program began upon Dr. Carla Stecco and Dr. Antonio Stecco’s kind request. After assisting Dr. Antonio Stecco several times in Padova, Italy, he passed his teacher’s exam and earned the Fascial Manipulation® Teacher certification in August 2023. Alp’s specific international qualifications do not have a regulatory body in Canada and for this reason his services are not covered by insurance companies.
Alp has a Bachelor’s degree in communication studies. He studied and professionally performed jazz as a drummer and classical music as a singer for many years. He still plays drums and sings occasionally just for fun. He also loves to travel and explore different countries with his wife.

Facial Palsy results from damage to the facial nerve for a variety of reasons. It can cause the face to stop moving on one or more rarely both sides of the face. Sometimes the facial nerve recovers quite quickly (days to a few weeks) and at other times it might take longer (months). Typical diagnoses include: Bell’s palsy, Ramsay Hunt syndrome, Acoustic neuromas/Vestibular schwannomas, trauma, congenital facial palsy, Lyme disease and others. Facial Neuromuscular Retraining will help you learn how to use your facial muscles again through soft tissue mobilization and specific retraining strategies to regain coordination and balance in your face. This treatment is especially useful if you develop synkinesis or abnormal movement patterns.

Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD) are a group of complex problems related to the jaw joint (the term TMJ is often used to refer to these types of problems). These conditions may be the result of a number of factors, including trauma (such as a car accident, a blow to the jaw, or a fall on the chin) and overuse (such as persistent clenching of the jaw). Treatment includes extensive education regarding the diagnosis, symptoms and self-care strategies to help with recovery. The initial examination involves taking a thorough history as well as examination of the temporomandibular joints and neck. The majority of individuals with TMD also suffer from neck pain, hence the importance of the neck examination. Treatment involves a strong emphasis on education. Following the initial examination, the client is provided with an anatomy lesson of the involved muscles and joints, the mechanics of jaw movements, and advice on methods to reduce strain to the jaw and neck. Other components of treatment may include self-manual therapy, self-massage techniques, soft tissue stretching and active exercise prescription.

Vestibular rehabilitation is an exercise-based therapy program used to treat problems associated with balance, vertigo and dizziness. Specifically, it works with the parts of the brain that process balance information. A vestibular assessment will involve filling out a questionnaire, discussing the history of your condition in detail, and a series of head positioning tests, vision tests and balance tests specific to your condition. Treatment may involve self-manual techniques along with balance, vision and coordination exercises. Please note that the assessment and treatment of vestibular problems may provoke some of your symptoms. For this reason it is recommended that you have someone with you in the room during your treatment.
