Crystal Cook has been in the health and fitness industry since 1998 when she finished an office administration diploma program at Fanshawe College in Ontario and started work as assistant manager at a local fitness club. Being immersed in the health industry inspired her to train diligently in bodybuilding and martial arts. Her love of fitness led her to a career as a personal trainer at Good Life Fitness in London, Ontario. She found personal training to be a satisfying, exciting career and thoroughly enjoyed helping people achieve their fitness goals. Two years later, her passion for travel and adventure prompted her to move westward to Lake Louise AB, then Tofino BC, the sunny Okanagan and finally Vancouver where she has made it her home.
She graduated from the West Coast College of Massage Therapy’s 3000 hour program in 2013. As part of her practicum, she helped patients with MS, Parkinsons disease, ALS, spinal cord injuries, Fibromyalgia, high-risk pregnancies and a host of other illnesses. She also volunteered her massage skills at many athletic events such as the Grand Fondo race and the Vancouver Sun Run. Crystal is trained in Deep Tissue Massage, Myofascial Release, Trigger Point Therapy, Swedish Massage, MET, Joint Mobilizations, Hydrotherapy and remedial exercise. She has a strong interest in mobilizations of the pelvis and spine, muscle energy technique and TMJ correction (intra-oral). In her spare time she is an outdoor activist, yoga enthusiast and loves to try anything new (TRX, stand-up paddleboard yoga). She is a firm believer that the body has the capacity to heal itself through therapeutic modalities, exercise and proper nutrition. |
