Liddy Stem
Registered Massage Therapist
Meet Liddy
Liddy has been a Registered Massage Therapist since 2005 and brings many years of clinical experience and a strong foundation in movement and anatomy to her practice. Before becoming an RMT, she completed her degree in Kinesiology at McMaster University, and that background continues to influence her understanding of the body and her approach to treatment.
One of Liddy’s strengths as an RMT is her versatility. With extensive experience treating a wide range of clients and concerns, she is comfortable adapting her treatments to what each individual needs — from focused therapeutic work for muscular tension, chronic discomfort and injury recovery to more general maintenance and relaxation-based care.
Liddy has additional training in cupping, structural myofascial release and gua sha, incorporating these techniques when appropriate as part of an individualized treatment. Her treatments can include surprisingly firm and focused therapeutic work when needed, while pressure and techniques are always adapted to the client and their treatment goals.
Liddy has a particular interest in working with children, teens and youth athletes. Her experience and knowledge allow her to adapt treatment appropriately for younger clients, whether they are involved in competitive sports, managing activity-related aches and injuries or simply benefiting from massage therapy as their bodies grow and change.
As a seasoned RMT, Liddy brings both clinical knowledge and practical experience to the treatment room. She enjoys working with clients across different ages, activity levels and stages of life and helping them find an approach to care that works for them.
