Donna Wanless
RMT
Registered Massage Therapist
Donna is a graduate of Vancouver College of Massage Therapy (VCMT). Prior to becoming an RMT, and following her passion for running and triathlon, Donna enjoyed a career as a run specialty representative for such companies as Adidas and Asics. Eventually though, she and her husband decided to step down from their careers in order to fulfill their dream of travel. They quit their jobs, put all of their possessions into storage, said goodbye to family and friends and took off to travel around the world for two years.
Upon her return to Vancouver and having been inspired as a long-time client of Movéo, Donna decided to go back to school to become an RMT. She feels she has finally found her calling and is excited about helping others, just as the team at Movéo has helped her over the years.
Whatever your treatment goals may be, whether it’s staying healthy and pain free, recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain or stress reduction, Donna will start with a full assessment and design a treatment plan to help you achieve your goals. Her treatments are tailored to individual needs by incorporating a variety of techniques such as Trigger Point Release, Direct Fascial Techniques, Deep Tissue, Muscle Energy Techniques, and Joint Mobilizations, blended with various Swedish techniques.
Donna is particularly interested in helping athletes recover from sports related injuries so that they can get back to doing what they love. She also has experience treating postural dysfunctions, adhesive capsulitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, thoracic outlet syndrome, back and neck pain, tendinopathies, headaches and many other conditions
When Donna isn’t at Movéo, you’ll find her running the north shore trails or travelling around BC in her camper van.
