Annie Fortin, Registered Massage Therapist
Massage Therapy
Services Offered
- Massage
Annie Fortin is the owner of Blue Lotus Massage Therapy.
I am a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT)and very excited to be here in Salmo! A genuine passion for wanting to help people led me to the health profession.
I know first hand the transformative power of manual therapy. Massage therapy is an approach that encompasses so many spectrums in the therapeutic arts, and requires both skill and intuition in its modality. When it comes to pain management of soft tissue dysfunction, having an effective personalized pain care plan is imperative to the healing process. It requires trust and respect, and is the foundation that allows the process of moving toward the desired outcome.
I will customize a plan to create long-term benefit and I encourage my clients to feel empowered to participate in their own physical health through personalized education-base homecare for their own particular needs.
My hope is to be a part of your journey by offering you the tools that will help promote muscle function, re-align the body, and allow pain-free freedom of movement.
Being a part of someone’s journey is both an inspiration and an honour. Our body is essential to our existence, we must take care of it.
