Reviews of YUKON POSTURE INSTITUTE (Massage Therapist)

Kimberly Brant

Vasco and the Yukon Posture Institute have been an essential part of my recovery from a serious back injury. I experienced a terrible case of sciatica that left me bent over and barely able to walk for weeks. Brought on by a combination of poor ergonomics in my workspace and a sports injury, Vasco's knowledge and effectiveness as a massage therapist and his specialization in posture and ergonomics helped me understand what contributed to my back injury and helped me chart my journey back to wellness. I couldn't have done it without Vasco's professionalism, expertise and support. Thanks Vasco!

Vasco is a true professional. His additional experience as a former personal trainer, coupled with his posture analysis makes his service very well catered to those looking for injury rehab or general preventative care. I’d highly recommend Yukon posture institute.

Vasco is so intuitive - he seems to magically know which area to work on. I've been seeing him for years and look forward to continuing.

Vasco, since getting regular massages from you I have felt that i am in less pain by the time the next appointment comes around. You have listened to my body and felt wear I needed the work and I can see and feel the difference it makes in my life. You are also very professional and I always love that you take the time to show me what stretches will help my problem areas!

I've been a client for years now. Not only is Vasco incredibly knowledgeable from an academic perspective, but his intuition is unbelievable. I recall my very first appointment, I walked in the door, he greeted me, looked at me and said "Your sternocleidomastoid muscles are a little too big for your frame, did you injure your chest?". I told him that it was actually my upper neck that was in pain and my chest was fine. Sure enough after some examination, it turned out that a year prior, my seat belt had damaged my pectoral muscles during a collision and the scar tissue developed a chain reaction of muscle imbalance that inevitably lead to my neck. Vasco fixed me up and gave me some exercises to prevent it from coming back. All of this eventually led to my first posture analysis. Suffice to say, it was a little embarrassing at first. I always thought I had good posture, but seeing the results was eye opening. I in fact, did not have good posture. Ankles wonky, head forward, shoulders and hips out of line. I was thinking to myself: "How on earth did I not see any of this in the mirror?" Vasco provided me with a breakdown of why my posture was out and which muscles needed strengthening or stretching to re-balance my body and straighten me out. I followed the advice and exercises and after a followup it was clear that his advice was working. Thanks to Vasco I'm much more conscious of my posture and I'm feeling great. 11/10, highly recommended!

I have suffered with severe spinal issues for a very long time. My first visit with Vasco was when I realized I was turning a corner. He takes the time to educate me on the different muscles and the jobs each one does in my spine. I've also had a posture analysis and surprisingly my centre of balance is intact. We have worked to strengthen areas and stretch others which has helped me immensely. Every visit is anticipated, he applies just the right pressure to relax my muscles and tendons, and we share light banter. I've seen a wide range of professionals for my back issues and without a doubt, Vasco is the real deal and he truly cares about your health, wellness and your experience when in his care. Go see him, you won't be dissappointed!

I highly recommend therapeutic massage from Vasco. I have been a client of his for several years and have never been disappointed after a treatment. Unfortunately during the majority of the COVID 19 pandemic, I was not booking many appointments and now find myself in more pain and in desperate need of regular appointments. Vasco made suggestions and with his fantastic scheduling app, I have booked several appointments for all of 2022. I'm looking forward to increased wellness as I head into my 7th decade.

Vasco offers a very professional and relaxing environment. He provides a wholistic approach to massage therapy and is knowledgeable in posture, ergonomics, sports injuries, and the exercises needed to correct muscle related injuries or imbalances. I highly recommend!

Best place in town for massages.

Jason Pradolini

I’ve been working with Vasco for a few years now. Great service and very knowledgeable with sports injuries, bodybuilding, etc. Highly recommended for anyone wanting optimal physical health. When explaining an issue with tightness or range of motion, Vasco can quickly understand and pursue the cause.

In 2018 I had been having difficulty with my right leg. Without warning my leg would give out and I would fall down. This started in the later part of 2018. I went to my doctor who said I should see a physio therapist. I saw a physio therapist on at least 5 occasions and still the problem persisted. I then saw a chiropractor on at least 2 occasions and again this did not help me. I had also seen a massage therapist but again was left wondering if I would ever be able to walk without the fear of my leg giving out. Finally after a recommendation from a co-worker I made an appointment with Vasco in April 2019. I did not have high hopes as I had seen so many people before and had been disappointed with the outcome. BUT after my first appointment with Vasco I new I had come to the right place. He knew exactly what was wrong and during two different massage appointments I was up and walking without any fear of falling. Vasco was a life saver. In January 2022 I attended my regular monthly appointment with Vasco and, after discussions (as he always asks if there is anything we need to work on), I told him that my lower back and hips were hurting and I could not walk without pain. I assumed due to my age that it was probably arthritis and could not be fixed. Vasco worked on my back and hips and even down my legs and when I got off the table I could bend over and walk without pain. I truly recommend Vasco. He has been a life saver for me.
