Garrett McAllister
Registered Massage Therapist
Born and raised in Terrace, B.C., Garrett grew up living a very active lifestyle. Depending on the season, you could find him hiking, snowmobiling or skiing on local mountains; out on the boat waterskiing and tubing; or at the rink playing hockey. Along with his passion for the outdoors and sports, he was also enthusiastic about weight training and powerlifting. The love for the gym sparked an interest and fascination with the human body and the science behind it.
Wanting a career that combined both of his passions, Garrett decided to move to Vernon in 2020 and pursue a career as a Registered Massage Therapist. He graduated from The Okanagan Valley College of Massage Therapy in July of 2022. Upon completing his licensing exam in October of 2022, he made the decision to move to Kelowna and could not be happier.
Rather than treating symptoms alone, Garrett believes in getting to the source of the problem to ensure a more long-term solution. Doing a thorough interview and assessment, along with a detailed homecare plan, is key to a complete treatment. Some of the treatment modalities Garrett implements in his practice are neuromuscular therapy, deep tissue work, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, general Swedish massage and myofascial therapy.
Outside of the clinic, you can find Garrett hiking some of the local trails, enjoying the downtown area with friends, up at the ski hill, or on the beach enjoying the sunshine. Garrett is very excited to be establishing himself in Kelowna and looks forward to helping his patients live an active, healthy life.
