Ms. Corrine Lloyd, RMT

I have been a Registered Massage Therapist since 1998. I received my training at a private College in Sherwood Park, Alberta.
For the past nine years I have worked in Chiropractic clinics, Cruise Ships, Gyms and Spas. These opportunities have given me a wide range of experience in dealing with many aspects of health.
I like working at Kinetic Health because I strongly believe that the combination of Massage, Chiropractic and Active Release Techniques, will make a difference that you will see and feel.
In addition, we believe in resolving the problem the first time. Best of all, each patient is given an individualized treatment plan, rather than one generic treatment. The great thing about Kinetic Health is that they truly listen to the patients needs, and respond accordingly.
I enjoy being a Registered Massage Therapist and by using techniques such as muscle stripping, joint mobilization, and deep tissue massage, I am able to help patients with acute or chronic problems.
I am very proud to be serving your health needs alongside so many great practitioners who know how to make a difference. I look forward to meeting you if you are a new patient, or seeing you at your next visit. |
