Charlene Watson RMT, BA
Owner of Active Wellness Massage Therapy Clinic
Charlene is a massage therapist and the proud owner of Active Wellness Massage Therapy Clinic. She developed a natural approach to health care by relying on it as a gymnast in adolescence and sport injuries as an adult. Knowing that she wanted to help people directly and was fascinated by human anatomy, massage therapy was the perfect career choice. As a massage therapist she has become competent treating cervical nerve impingements, whiplash, sciatica, herniated disk injuries, post orthopedic surgery rehabilitation, concussions, tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, and has a passion for treating children, athletes, doing pregnancy massages and motor vehicle accident claims.
When it comes to finding a massage therapist that can tell you what massage therapy can do for you, the frequency of your massage visits and how many visits it will take for you to get better or feel actively well again Charlene is able to communicate that treatment protocol for you.
In her personal time Charlene’s favourite thing to do is to be outdoors and travel. Mountain biking year round on the trails locally and all over Ontario is what she does the most for herself.
