Mr. Ken Edmondson

Ken is approaching his 27 th year as a Registered Massage Therapist with little interest in slowing down. Before becoming an RMT, he studied at the University of Guelph completing a B.A. in Psychology, with a minor in Biological Science. Currently, Ken has been working towards a diploma with the C.S.M.T.A (Certified Sports Massage Therapy Association) with an emphasis upon treating athletic injuries. Some of his most enjoyable athletic experiences were as a provincial rugby player and as a varsity swimmer while at the University of Guelph. Ken has been an avid runner for more than 30 years and has had the opportunity to complete several half and full marathons as well as triathlons. He considers himself very fortunate to have found a balance between a passion for sports and a professional interest in the growing field of sports rehabilitation. The emphasis of his practice over the past few years has evolved from treating the injuries of athletes to evaluating risk and preventing them from getting injured. This treatment philosophy represents a relatively new approach - sometimes referred to as 'prehabilitation' - that involves combining case history and assessment with a specific and focused treatment approach. More than 15 years of teaching experience at several massage therapy colleges have shaped Ken's belief that, in addition to Evidence-based Practice, education and empowerment play crucial roles in treatment outcomes, and is currently working on a professional seminar series for Health care provides and is working on a book released to pain and modalities to remediate its devastating impact. For several years, Ken has been involved with coaching and training within the Waterloo Minor Hockey Association, and frequently serves as a consulting therapist with the Wilmot Aquatic Aces Swim Club. Ken is proud to suit up for the Armoury, performing advanced Massage techniques for those looking to perform and recover.
