Petra Jurak

PETRA IS CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS

Registered Massage Therapist since 2009.

Petra Jurcak graduated from Vancouver College of Massage Therapy in 2009. She treats with a gentle heart and strong hands, using her knowledge as well as her intuition. Petra focuses on the patients’ well being first, and then any condition that may be present. Her professional and friendly manner allows patients to feel comfortable and confident in her treatments, and each treatment is suited to their needs, whether it be a desire for relaxation, or dealing with an orthopedic or soft tissue complaint.

Petra is trained in the safe and effective treatment of many physical complaints, and a wide variety of orthopedic and systemic concerns; some of these include pregnancy-related discomfort, post-fracture/operative complaints, soft tissue injuries, arthritic pain, headaches, and stress.

As a former instructor at Vancouver College of Massage Therapy, Petra spent close to five years sharing her knowledge with future RMTs, and has always done the same in the clinic through patient education. She very often incorporates homecare advice into treatments to help patients discover ways that they can potentially improve their quality of movement, and proactively decrease some of the discomfort that may be present in their body.

Outside the clinic, Petra follows a health-focused lifestyle, spending her time learning more about the body, and what makes it function well, whether it be through exercise, or nutrition; One of her future goals includes becoming a certified yoga instructor. An important part of her life is getting out into nature, and you can often find her exploring the mountains and forests, or simply tending to her plants at home. In her spare time, she also creates handmade jewellery, and art pieces. It has always been very natural for Petra to work with her hands, and she is quite passionate about what she does.
