Matt’s route to massage began when he experienced the benefits of seeing an RMT during the rehabilitation of his own injuries. Being an active sportsman, Matt has competed in many different sports such as swimming, running, soccer, and weightlifting. He has sprained his ankles and also a torn meniscus in his knee. Without the help of Registered Massage Therapists, he would not have been able to return to his sport as quickly as he did. Matt’s active lifestyle started at the age of 3, when he started swimming lessons. He then joined the local competitive swim team aged 5 and at the age of 11 he was approached to swim for the Great Britain Development Squad. Matt moved to Canada from England in 2010, where he continued competitive swimming with Oakville Aquatics and York University. Since then Matt has competed in many running and triathlon events, being selected for the Canadian Age Group Triathlon World Championship team in 2019.
While working as a Personal Trainer he has learnt valuable knowledge in the relationship of exercise and recovery. As a result of this new knowledge, Matt has enabled clients to return to their sport after injury. He has also helped clients lose upwards of 50lbs, resulting in a healthier lifestyle. Matt has a desire to continue to learn, grow, and work with a clientele of all ages in rehabilitation and body maintenance, who aspire to a healthier lifestyle.

Myofascial release therapy is often performed to localized areas of complaint. When Dr. Varela performs myofascial release, it typically involves putting pressure and tension through some of the tight and irritated muscles. While the muscle is under this tension, the muscle is then stretched. Like a deep massage, myofascial release therapy works on trigger points or tight bands of muscle that have built up toxins such as lactic acid. It can help relax the tight bands of muscles, break up scar tissue from micro-trauma, restore blood flow and lymphatic drainage, and help restore motion to the area. Soft Tissue Massage Therapy is a targeted form of massage and can be used together with chiropractic and/or osteopath treatment or on its own.
