Wayne Cork RMT

Wayne dedicated 15 years to the Ministry of Forests Protection Branch working with a specialized Rapattack fire fighting team, which uses a helicopter and rope rappelling technique to drop into remote and inaccessible forest fires. Although this is an unlikely beginning for a Massage Therapist, this job had a high demand for physical fitness, which fueled Wayne’s passion for body wellness. Additionally, during his university years, an elective course in Kinesiology also steered Wayne’s interest toward massage therapy. Highly motivated toward his new career direction, Wayne graduated from the West Coast College of Massage Therapy in 2004 and immediately joined the team of practitioners at Yaletown Massage Therapy.

Wayne employs techniques such as myofascial release, muscle energy technique, trigger point therapy and deep tissue massage to help clients address areas of concern and improve how they feel as they move through every day life.

Because each client presents with a uniquely different concern, Wayne greatly believes in taking a listening approach towards his client before, during and after the treatment process, to ensure his client’s needs are met. Those lines of communication remain open throughout the treatment to ensure his clients are comfortable and to ensure that the specific concerns are met.

Wayne maintains a high level of fitness through running and weight lifting. He competes in numerous road races and trail races on an individual basis and as part of a team, such as the Vancouver First Half Marathon, Victoria Half Marathon, Haney to Harrison Relay, Dirty Duo, Half Knacker, and the Iron Lunch Trail Race Series. Wayne applies his knowledge of and passion for physical fitness to assist and educate patients in achieving an active pain free lifestyle.

Wayne is available on Tuesday, Friday and Saturday and every second Monday from 12pm to 7pm.
