Hey, I’m Tim Wong RMT
 
I’m a Registered Massage Therapist, Movement Coach, and Personal Trainer. 
 
I’ve been treating and resolving the injuries, aches and pains of Toronto’s athletic community for the last 10 years.
 
I’ve helped hundreds of Torontonians aim towards life-time personal bests, dominate at their sport, without sacrificing their long term health and wellness.
 
But it wasn’t always like that… 
 
I’ve been through my share of injuries and went to many therapists experiencing relief but without receiving any longer lasting solutions. 
 
I went through it all:
 
The trying everything I could find on the internet and social media
The costly and time-wasting treatments
The lack of results and loss of hope
 
I wanted to throw in the towel and stop my goals of competing at a high level in Weightlifting and Soccer
 

Maybe you can relate?

4 Types of Massage Therapy Treatments that we utilize for Iliotibial Band Syndrome at the Holistic Move

Proprioceptive Deep Tendon Reflex (PDTR)

PDTR is a specialized technique that focuses on stimulating specific proprioceptive receptors to restore proper proprioception and re-optimize muscle function. By activating deep tendon reflexes, this technique helps re-establish the communication between the nervous system and muscles, promoting stability, reducing pain, and aiding in the recovery of typical overuse injuries such as Iliotibial Band Syndrome. Click here for more info.

Neurokinetic Therapy (NKT)

NKT is a cutting-edge technique that identifies and corrects faulty movement patterns by addressing muscle imbalances and dysfunctional movement compensations. By using manual muscle testing and precise corrective exercises, NKT aims to reprogram the neuro-muscular system, promoting pain relief, improved stability, and enhanced athletic performance for individuals with Iliotibial Band pain.

Active Release Technique (ART)

My Active Release Technique (ART) is a dynamic and hands-on approach that combines movement and precise pressure to treat Iliotibial Band Syndrome. By targeting adhesions and scar tissue, ART breaks down barriers to healing, improves range of motion, and accelerates recovery.

Sports Massage Therapy

Our specialized sports massage therapy combines various manual therapy techniques, including deep tissue massage and Swedish massage, to target muscle imbalances, reduce tension, and enhance recovery. By addressing the specific needs of athletes and active individuals, this comprehensive approach promotes optimal healing, restores functionality, and boosts your IT band’s resilience against repetitive use.
