Kotaro Kawashima
RMT
Kotaro is a Registered Massage Therapist who has been living in Canada for over 10 years since moving from Japan. With a particular focus on the neck and lower back, he takes a personalized approach to understanding each client’s concerns and treatment needs.
His interest in bodywork was also shaped by his own experience with fitness and bodybuilding. As someone who trained regularly and competed in bodybuilding competitions, Kotaro experienced injuries that sparked his curiosity about acupuncture and its approach to supporting the body. This personal experience led him to pursue further studies in acupuncture alongside his work as an RMT.
Drawing from his experience in massage therapy, fitness, and ongoing acupuncture studies, Kotaro brings a thoughtful and informed perspective to each treatment.
