THERAPISTS OF THE WEEK
Ever since he can remember, Igor has been fascinated by the human body. He started his career as a massage therapist, and his experience with healing inspired him to such a degree that he decided to pursue further studies in medicine. He became a Medical Doctor in 1986 and a Neurologist in 1988.
Igor believes that conventional and alternative methods have much to offer and that the successful resolution of a condition is the result of a combination of treatments rather than the use of one. This is why he is always interested in a holistic approach, and why he has always incorporated massage therapy into his medical practice.

What Our Clients Say About Us
Nancy NancyNovember 16, 2024Loved everyone there. Fanny is the sweetest receptionist, so was the other guy I met on the second floor. So well spoken,sweet and welcoming. Tanner my RMT was probably the best relaxing massage experience I had. Would love to be there againOTNovember 15, 2024In all my years that I’ve been seeing (many) RMTs trying to find a right fit, I can say that I’ve never had a RMT that can do what Martina Griffiths can do for me. I always look forward to our session for a few reasons. She’s very attentive and remembers where I’m in pain, offers suggestions on how I can mitigate pain in between sessions, and then gets right in there and makes me feel brand-freaking-new. No one else compares. I’ve been seeing Martina for 7 years now, so we’ve gotten to know each other a lot during this time, and it’s really nice that she even remembers the little details from my life from all those years ago. Each session feels like catching up with a friend while getting the best message of my life. She is the sweetest person ever and truly cares about your wellbeing. I’d literally be so sad if I had to look for another massage therapist again haha. Part of me wants to gatekeep Martina so I can get more appointment times, but who am I to deny Vancouverites of feeling good?Corina CNovember 5, 2024I highly recommend Ardent (RMT) for deep tissue massage, she is very skilled in what she does and is so very kind!Valentinos DinglisNovember 4, 2024Arden is a "healer". Through her training and intuitiveness Arden identifies the areas that need to be addressed. Whether it is tightness, blockage, stiffness Arden's way will provide relief and ease with mobility.Evelyn PlattOctober 31, 2024Very informative. He was clear on what he was doing. He showed me how to do some stretches as well. I also liked that he had a sense of humour. I appreciated the conversation it was not a lot yet just enough.Jodi MordenOctober 25, 2024Just was terrific!!JG VFXOctober 22, 2024Been seeing Arden for about 18 months and she is the best! Extremely professional & personable, has a breadth of knowledge & understanding when it comes to treatment, and also recommends some incredible food recipes every time I’m there hahaha I cannot recommend enough!Google rating score: 4.9 of 5, based on 325 reviews
