Mischa grew up in Victoria and fell in love with sports at a young age, playing beach volleyball for Team Canada and indoor volleyball for UBC before being sidelined with chronic injuries. Aiming first to fix his own body, Mischa started to learn everything he could about injury rehabilitation and prevention, following up his Bachelor’s of Human Kinetics with a Masters in Experimental Medicine. Through this process, Mischa began to see that to make the biggest changes, each person needs to be treated as a whole. For him this means looking at how the whole body moves, not just the painful areas, and also connecting how mental and emotional states affect the physical body. Mischa loves helping people have “aha” moments about their movement and health and connecting the dots to help restore pain-free movement, relaxation, and joy. Mischa is a Registered Kinesiologist, Fascial Stretch Therapist, Certified Health Coach, Registered Yoga Teacher, and Pneuma Breathwork facilitator, and has done extensive training and research with the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) and Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA). He’s worked with the Canadian Olympic Teams in Volleyball, Soccer, and Field Hockey and is currently furthering his education in the Osteopathic Manual Therapist program with the Canadian School of Osteopathy.

FASCIAL STRETCH THERAPY (FST) is a form of assisted stretch therapy that can dramatically increase your flexibility, reduce aches and pains, and improve your range of motion and athletic performance. FST targets fascia, the most prevalent tissue in the body which is also full of nerves. Fascia is found around muscles, joints, arteries, veins, the brain, and the spinal cord. FST helps reduce pressure and release stored stress in the fascia, improving circulation and flexibility while boosting energy. The results are felt immediately.
*Patients booking with Mischa for the first time please book this session* In this initial assessment we’ll start to develop a high level understanding of the true sources of your aches and pains, allowing us to use an efficient and specific style of treatment and therapeutic exercise for the quickest results. We’ll do a thorough review of your health history, an in-depth movement assessment, and specific testing to get to the root of the issue. This session is a little longer (75 minutes) than the follow up sessions (45/60 minutes) so we still have time for a thorough treatment after the in-depth assessment.
Registered Kinesiology helps to remove the underlying sources of tension and pain by identifying and correcting dysfunctional movement patterns. Starting with a comprehensive assessment of functional movement patterns, Kinesiology sessions involve both hands on treatment for joints, muscles, and fascia, and also therapeutic exercises to get the body moving without pain and through greater ranges of motion.
