Rina McNairn, Registered Massage Therapist

Rina McNairn completed her three year Massage Therapy diploma, with Honours, at Algonquin College in the year 2000.

Her training consisted of extensive study in anatomy and physiology, massage theory, professionalism and ethics, as well as hydrotherapy, nutrition, stretching and exercise, and various other health related courses.

In contribution to the required 150 school clinic hours, she gained valuable experience in corporate, retirement home, and brain injury environments.

During school, Rina was also co-author and co-creator of two massage therapy manuals, titled Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (P.N.F.), and Joint Mobilizations, which are being used as teaching manuals in numerous massage therapy schools throughout Ontario.

After graduating from Algonquin College, Rina was required to complete the provincial board examinations to license her as a Registered Massage Therapist. This makes her a member of the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario, (C.M.T.O.), which upholds the standards of Massage Therapy.

Since January 2001, Rina has completed an Active Release Technique course to further her education and is enjoying working with the team at Back to Health Chiropractic Centre.

Her treatments vary, ranging from relaxation massage to therapeutic treatments for sport injuries. Some conditions treated at the clinic are tendonitis, bursitis, low back injury, sprains, repetitive strain injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome, headaches, "frozen shoulder" or adhesive capsulitis, iliotibial band syndrome, "runners knee" or chondromalacia patellae, sciatic nerve pain, and whiplash.
