Massage therapy can be effective for a number of issues, including muscle pain, muscle strain, chronic and acute biomechanical issues, and sports injuries just to name a few. If you are looking for a registered massage therapist, Tim Gropen at Burnaby Heights Chiropractic is always happy to help!
Tim understands that every client has different needs. He uses a variety of techniques to do everything he can to help with whatever your complaint may be. Generally, he will treat the soft tissue structures in your body with the goal of providing you with relief. Treatment will focus on your muscles, joints, tendons, and connective tissues, to help decrease your pain, improve how your body is functioning, and to help mediate and speed up the overall healing process.
Massage therapy can help with a number of conditions including stress, back pain, frozen shoulder, osteoarthritis, sciatica, muscle strains, and sports injuries, just to give a few examples. If you are looking for treatment for any of these conditions, you should consider massage therapy as part of your treatment plan because it is a safe and effective way to help get you better. The effects of massage therapy are many: reduced pain and inflammation, relaxation, muscle tension relief, greater flexibility and joint range of motion, and increased blood circulation are just a few of the benefits you may experience.
Another great thing about massage therapy treatment is that it can complement other forms of therapy like chiropractic care, acupuncture, and physiotherapy, to help speed up the recovery process. It may also help prevent injuries from reoccurring in the future which is an added bonus. Tim is highly skilled and will take the time to understand your concerns so that he can apply the right techniques. Each treatment is one on one care focused on on your complaint specifically so that you experience as much relief as possible.

Registered Massage Therapist
I have been practicing as an RMT for over 25 years in the Lower Mainland.
My treatments are geared towards helping patients through a variety of conditions: motor vehicle accidents, sports injuries, TMJ and other chronic injuries. On the road to recovery I encourage my patients with stretching, remedial exercises and other forms of home care. I believe in a team approach to treatment and work with Chiropractors, Physiotherapists, Kinesiologists and other healthcare practitioners to help patients achieve their goals.
I typically use several treatment techniques during any one session.
I typically use several treatment techniques during any one session. While I do use Swedish massage, joint mobilization, trigger point therapy and other techniques, I do more Myofascial Release than anything else as I (and my patients) generally find it most effective.
I believe that my patients should take responsibility for their health. While I am dedicated to helping them recover from injuries or to improve their performance, ultimately it's up to them to maximize their health and wellness through exercise, stretching, sleeping enough, and eating sensibly.
For the last 20 years I’ve called North Burnaby, where I have raised my two boys Sam and Nate, home. When I am not in the clinic, I enjoy spending time with my boys and my partner, Kristina. We love our dogs, Kizmet and Hobbes, and spend lots of time out in nature exploring our beautiful province. I also love to travel, garden, play hockey, paddle board, make good meals, and drink wine with family and friends. I have also taken up West Coast swing dancing in the last year.
