Had a wonderful and therapeutic massage at Skaha Physiotherapy. My massage therapist was knowledgeable and friendly, I will be back, thank you!

"Adrian is an amazing RMT"

Adrian is an amazing RMT. I have had two c spine surgeries and he is the only RMT I have found since moving to Penticton that will touch my neck. Since Adrian started working on my neck he has loosened scar tissue and my range of movement has improved immensely. I completely recommend!
