Dylan Taylor, RMT
SaveDylan’s approach to massage is all about helping you find that place of balance and vitality. He brings a unique mix of analysis and intuition to every treatment, whether you are recovering from a sports or workplace injury, dealing with chronic tension, or trying to find a moment of tranquility in your busy day.
His connection to bodywork started as a youth drawn to physical activity - often found playing sports, practising martial arts, or roaming the forests around his childhood home. Growing up he dove into cycling and mechanics, and would go on to spend years working in bike shops and weaving through the traffic of Canada’s busiest cities as a courier. He came to live in Nova Scotia to get back to the more gentle pace of the natural world, and would spend nearly a decade in the Acadian forest of Southwest Nova, living a life focused on sustainable self-reliance in harmony with the world around him. Whether working on thoughtful woodlot management, tending a garden of tasty plants and herbal medicinals, or fixing up the old pickup, Dylan was always sure to find the flow in the moment.

It was years of hands-on physical work that turned his attention to massage. Repetitive tasks and a buildup of minor injuries in the woods left him with pain in the elbow that just wouldn’t quit. Eventually, it was a massage therapist who was able to address his issue and set him on the path towards recovery, and this experience sparked a desire to learn how to do the same for others.
In his treatments, Dylan blends the analysis and precision of a mechanic with the intuitive touch of a patient gardener. Using techniques including myofascial release, deep tissue massage, and a range of mobilizations for muscles and joints, he will work with you to craft a plan that gets you the results you are looking for.
So bring your manual labour induced chronic pain and your tension headaches, your jiu-jitsu injuries and your long term systemic concerns; Dylan will be here to listen to the story that you and your body tell, and help you find your way back to feeling your best.

Restore balance and release built-up stress with this nurturing treatment focused on the areas where tension most often resides—the head, neck, face, and shoulders. Through intentional massage techniques, this session soothes the nervous system, eases muscle tightness, and encourages a deep sense of calm and clarity. Enhanced with gentle facial cupping, this treatment supports healthy circulation, promotes lymphatic flow, and relieves facial tension often held in the jaw, brow, and temples. The result is not only visible—brighter, more lifted skin—but deeply felt, in a sense of renewed lightness and presence. Ideal for clients experiencing jaw clenching, tension headaches, or upper body stiffness, this treatment offers measurable relief and improved overall function.

We use hot stones to increase blood flow to tissues and to stimulate a soothing “rest and digest” response via deep moist heat. In practice, we use stones that are made specifically for therapeutic bodywork to ensure the best results. They often have smooth surfaces to allow for appropriate contact to the muscles. Sore Spots uses Basalt, Jade and Soapstone for massage because of their ability to absorb, retain, and transfer temperature.

Usually you can expect a Sore Spots hot stone massage to integrate a few cold stones into your treatment. This provides a blissful contrasting hydrotherapeutic experience, which is great for increasing circulation to tissue. Your therapist will single out one or two areas of your body where adding cool stones will enhance your therapeutic experience, and will always check in before integrating a cold element. It is worthwhile to note that many clients find including stones into treatment adds a grounding energy to each session. There is something about literally coming into contact with a natural element during a massage that enables a more mindful presence in healing.

How do you use the stones during massage? During a treatment, you may experience the stones as an extension of the therapists hands for deeper release into the muscle and connective tissue. The therapist may also choose to place hot stones in areas of increased tension - which has a similar feel to and intention of a heating pad - which aids in increasing circulation.
