Rebekah Voisin - Registered Massage Therapist
I have been massaging since April 2008and have been with Calgary Spine and Sport since August 2010. I specialize in combining the fluidity of a relaxation massage with the pressure and intent of a therapeutic massage. I love being a part of the healing process and seeing more and more how chiropractic and massage go hand in hand. When I'm not massaging, you can find me on the rugby pitch or spending time with my family.
