Pursuit Physiotherapy - Massage

A graduate of West Coast College of Massage Therapy, Shay developed a strong foundation in deep tissue and myofascial techniques, particularly for athletic and persistent injuries. Over the years, he’s honed a style he calls deep relaxation treatment—a method that allows him to apply significant therapeutic pressure while minimizing post-treatment soreness or recovery time. Shay takes pride in delivering results-driven care that feels grounded, safe, and effective. While his time working in a downtown Victoria spa helped shape his treatment flow, Shay has since moved beyond gentler approaches in favor of more targeted, therapeutic work.
