Meet Serge: Biathlete-Turned-Massage Therapist

Meet Serge, one of our weekend massage therapists at the Canmore, Bow Valley Trail location.

Serge grew up training in biathlon, a sport that combines cross-country skiing and rifle shooting, at the Canmore Nordic Centre. Spending so much time in the mountains sparked a lifelong love for sport and the outdoors, but it also came with its share of challenges. During his competitive years he struggled with frequent tendonitis and overuse injuries.

Through dedicated work with massage therapists and physiotherapists, Serge was able to rehab those injuries, continue competing and eventually represent Canada overseas. That experience inspired him to pursue massage therapy himself, with the goal of helping others recover from injury, return to the activities they love and most importantly learn to trust their bodies again.

Today Serge enjoys climbing, trail running, and yoga and he brings insights from these disciplines into his practice. His treatments often incorporate active movement, cupping and stretching to support recovery and performance.

Serge works with both adults and teenagers. If you’re curious about booking a treatment with him, check out our booking link HERE
