Rick Girardeau, RMT
Registered Massage Therapist
Contact | 604.345.0248 or rickgrmt@gmail.com
I began my practice in March 2009 graduating from West Coast College of Massage Therapy. Through the years I have developed my skills in myofascial release, trigger point therapy, deep tissue, joint mobilization, facilitated stretching, and general Swedish incorporating a variety of techniques as I feel required.
My scope of practice spans from specific injuries or pathology such as sprains, muscle strain, and migraine to general stress relief.
I have also been an assistant instructor and clinic supervisor at both West Coast and Langara College in their respective RMT programs.
My personal interests include a dedicated meditation and yoga practice along with hitting the gym regularly for weight resistance exercises and cardio. I also enjoy getting on my bike or hitting the woods for a hike.
For entertainment, I love a good sci-fi flick or dinner out with friends, or a low-key evening at home with a book. I will also attempt to impress with my cooking skills. Some ya win, some, well, you learn.

Contact | rmtsiam@icloud.com
I began on this path driven by a strong desire to support others in developing a harmonious relationship with their bodies. My approach combines clinical effectiveness with restorative relaxation. Alongside my practice, I taught in the Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) program at Langara College. This experience has inspired me to establish a mentorship program to guide new RMTs through the initial stages of their careers.
Background and Philosophy:
With a deep understanding that working with people's bodies and pain is a sacred trust, I wanted to create Studio Remede as a safe and thoughtful space where individuals can discover a profound sense of presence for their body, mind, and spirit. I believe your body is a wise friend who is always supporting you, and my work is about introducing you to its wisdom while also providing you with ways to support it.
Approach and Methodology:
My process begins with an in-depth consultation to gain a comprehensive understanding of each individual's unique history and needs. I approach the body holistically, combining my knowledge in myofascial release, active myofascial release, and deep tissue techniques. Simultaneously, I prioritize working with the parasympathetic nervous system to foster a state of restorative balance.
My focus lies in women's health, particularly in pre and post-natal massage as well as treating orthopedic injuries related to the shoulder and neck. I am dedicated to offering patient-centered care and, when necessary, collaborating with other qualified practitioners to ensure comprehensive and holistic treatment.
