Welcome our newest member to the Qathet team, Karyn Lowther. Karyn will be working Friday and Saturdays starting in April, head to our website to book an appointment.
Karyn believes not only in providing her patients with immediate relief from symptoms but also in treating the root of the problem to help produce a long-term solution that reduces pain and dysfunction in the future. She is here to help and wants to be a part of your health care routine. Karyn has been an RMT for 7 years and is an experienced practitioner who is kind, caring and knowledgeable. She has a strong interest in the nervous system and the role it plays in our pain experience and pays particular attention to this in treatments allowing her clients to fall into a state of restorative rest. She is here to help with your injury prevention and maintenance needs. She has experience working with all types of conditions has a special interest in working with low back injuries. Her treatment style is to work with you to find what works best for you on your path to finding balance. She has a firm and specific pressure when needed and is also able to use light techniques and finds that pressure is dependent on each person’s particular needs at that time. She is comfortable using a variety of techniques such as myofascial release, trigger point therapy, soft tissue release, IASTM, muscle energy, joint mobilizations and Swedish massage to optimize relaxation. Post treatment education and exercises are not only fun and functional but also tailored to the patient’s needs. Her connection to Powell River is through her mother who grew up on Texada and in Westview. Karyn has been in and out of Powell River her whole life. She has moved back to this special part of the world to be closer to her family and to spend time with her grandmother who is in her late 90’s. She has lived all over BC (from the Kootenays to the Haida Gwaii) and has spent the last 3 years working, surfing and living in Tofino.
