Ben Merlin has over 10 years of experience in Massage Therapy and has taken education across the globe to offer the highest level of therapeutic massage to his clients. He originally began his career in Melbourne, Australia after graduating from the Australian School of Therapeutic Massage and began working with a focus in postural stresses related to office and desk work. His career has taken him to Resorts around Australia and he worked as a therapist on cruise ships before coming to Canada.
Ben wanted to apply his years of massage experience to a career in Canada, so he completed his RMT education and graduated from the Okanagan Valley College of Massage Therapy in 2020. He is now thrilled to return to clinical massage here in the Okanagan which he now proudly calls his home.
Utilizing Swedish massage, Myo-fascial release, trigger point therapy amongst other techniques Ben believes in working in collaboration with his patients towards their goals.

Massage therapy is an effective, noninvasive treatment for TMJ. RMTs can help relieve muscle strain, reduce inflammation, improve joint mobility, enhance circulation, and support the healing process. Additionally, massage therapy can alleviate stress—a common contributor to TMJ—while promoting relaxation and easing tension often associated with chronic conditions.

Swedish massage is more focused on relaxation but still can request therapeutic pressure for a moderate release. Whether pain is a factor or you just find benefit with increasing circulation and starting the flushing necessary to increase tolerance for deeper tissue work and stretch this is the treatment for you.
