Yvonne Sanche, RMT.  Live Smart.  Train Smart.  Recover Faster.

About Me

As a registered massage therapist, I am dedicated to promoting functional movements without restrictions.  Having the freedom to move without discomfort or pain has been a distant thought for many, and it doesn't have to be that way.  Massage therapy can improve or restore your health in a variety of ways.

I work on a variety of clients, from athletes to children to pregnant moms to be.  My treatment plans are individualized depending on many aspects of the client. With that in mind, I use a number of techniques to help improve or restore tissue and joint health.

  • Myofascial Release

  • Trigger Point Therapy

  • Active Isolated Stretching

  • Myoskeletal Alignment Techniques

  • Joint Mobilizations

  • Sports Massage

Currently, I am located at the Active Life Centre in St. Albert.  The clinic has been in operation for 25 years and has built a solid reputation for sports and therapeutic massage.

I am a graduate of MacEwan University and have been a practicing RMT for the last 18 months.  I am constantly learning new techniques, and keep updated on developing research related to massage therapy, strength and conditioning, and nutrition.

As an athlete, I focus my training on Olympic weightlifting and Crossfit.  Since discovering these two sports, I have improved my body's efficiency to function properly, and adapt to less than ideal situations quickly.  I have sustained my fair share of sports related injuries through the years, but with the help of massage therapy I have recovered quickly and with relative ease.

Testimonials

"I have been a competitive athlete for three years and there is no doubt that if I didn’t have access to Yvonne, I wouldn’t be where I am today. Her extensive knowledge and dedication to her discipline is admirable and has benefited me tremendously. Yvonne has years of experience behind her and the passion to get the job done right. No matter what my issue may be, I never doubt her ability to get me back in action as fast as possible." -- Brian, St. Albert

"Yvonne has been my massage therapist for a couple of years.  I'm an active fitness trainer with a very hectic and demanding schedule.  Yvonne is always able to work through the muscle tightness I develop through my work and daily activities.  I also benefit greatly from the Active Isolated Stretching (AIS) sessions.  They are a huge benefit to me in keeping my joints flexible and helping to release tension.  The massage and AIS compliment each other and help keep my body in order.  The therapy Yvonne provides is vital to my job!" -- Suzanne, Crossfit Edmonton

"I have been a client of Yvonne's for the past two years.  I am a growing teenager and competitive hockey player, on the ice and training six days a week.  Anytime I have a muscle or joint mobility issue, she is always determined to get me back on track right away.  By following her therapeutic exercises to regain mobility in my wrist, I was ready for hockey season.  With any injury or tenderness that occurs, I can rely on Yvonne for positive results!" -- Deni, St. Albert Slash
