Robert Buckland Registered Massage Therapist and a member of The Natural Health Practitioners of Canada

Robert grew up in Cochrane, Alberta heavily involved with competitive swimming. Due to the repetitive nature of the sport, Robert soon began to experience strains in the low back and shoulders. Through the cooperative work of massage and physical therapy, Robert was able to compete in swimming for 12 years. Once graduated from high school Robert decided to become involved in the non-invasive healing techniques of massage therapy.

After graduating from MacEwan’s 2 year massage therapy program in 2007, Robert has found himself drawn to various different massage techniques. The treatments that Robert performs are Pre/Post Natal, Relaxation, Therapeutic/ Deep Tissue and Trigger Point Therapy. Because times are changing and education is key to one’s personal success Robert is frequently involved in furthering his knowledge of massage therapy, as well as life, through continuing education courses.

Robert looks forward to working with the wonderful therapists and clients who are involved with Balance Massage.
