Thai Deep Tissue Muscle Therapy

$145-240.

Thai Deep Tissue Muscle Therapy combines traditional Thai techniques with deep tissue therapy to release tension, reduce muscle tightness, and improve flexibility.

Using slow targeted pressure and assisted stretching, this treatment works deep into the muscles and fascia to restore movement and leave the body feeling looser and more mobile.

Chi Nei Tsang Abdominal Massage

$130.

A deeply therapeutic healing practice rooted in traditional Chinese medicine. This specialized abdominal massage focuses on releasing tension, detoxifying organs, and improving the flow of energy (Chi) within the body.  By  applying gentle rhythmic pressure to the abdomen, Chi Nei Tsang helps to relieve digestive issues, emotional blockages, and stress stored in the gut.

This technique not only supports better digestion and organ function, but also promotes overall balance well-being.  Ideal for those looking to restore harmony within the body, Chi Nei Tsang encourages deep relaxation and revitalization from the core outward.

I'm Vern Derksen, and I've been fascinated by the human body since I was 15 years old.

What started as a passion for bodybuilding quickly became a lifelong pursuit of understanding how the body moves, adapts, compensates, heals, and grows stronger. I was never satisfied with simply knowing what worked—I wanted to understand why it worked.

That curiosity has shaped my entire career.

Whether I was competing in bodybuilding, coaching clients, working in hospital rehabilitation, or continuing my education, I've always been driven by the same question:

How can I help people move and feel better?

Over the years, I've had the privilege of helping people from many different walks of life—from athletes looking to improve performance to individuals recovering from injury, living with chronic pain, or navigating physical and intellectual disabilities. Every experience taught me something new about how the body functions and reinforced my belief that no two people should ever be treated the same.

That's why I don't believe in cookie-cutter treatments.

I don't believe in chasing symptoms.

Pain is often the result of a problem somewhere else in the body. My job is to figure out why you're hurting, not just where you're hurting. Every treatment has a purpose, and every technique I use is chosen for a reason.

My clients know me for my honest, no-nonsense approach. I'll always tell you what I see, explain what's contributing to the problem, and be realistic about what it will take to improve.

My commitment is to give you my full attention, my best assessment, and a treatment plan that's tailored specifically to you.

For me, this has never been about giving someone a good massage.

It's about helping people move better, hurt less, and get back to living the life they enjoy.

That's why I continue to learn, continue to challenge myself, and continue searching for better ways to help every person who walks through my door.
