About Fordham Massage Therapy
Matthew Fordham is a Registered Massage Therapist in clinical practice since 2017, holding a Bachelor of Kinesiology from the University of the Fraser Valley. He specializes in deep tissue therapeutic massage with particular focus on athletes, though he treats clients across a broad spectrum—from desk workers experiencing postural tension and headaches to those recovering from injury or managing chronic pain. His clinical approach draws on multiple modalities including cupping therapy, Active Release Technique (ART), instrument-assisted soft tissue release (IASTR), deep tissue manual therapy, mobilization, and trigger point therapy. Fordham develops individualized treatment plans tailored to each client's goals, whether athletic performance enhancement, post-training recovery, or relief of everyday musculoskeletal discomfort. He notes that pain relief outcomes vary; acute issues may resolve in a small number of sessions, while chronic conditions typically require a series of treatments. His practice operates inside the Evolve Strength building and offers direct billing to multiple insurance providers including Blue Cross, Green Shield, Sun Life, and the Telus Portal.
