About MovementSpark Health /Paul Cramer: Functional Massage Therapy
Paul Cramer is a Registered Massage Therapist and Functional Massage Therapist with 25 years of experience, located in Westmount, specializing in tendinopathy, hypermobility, and EDS conditions. His approach combines myofascial release, trigger point therapy, stretching, and joint mobilizations performed on a therapeutic mat with clients fully clothed in loose-fitting garments. Rather than focusing solely on pain management, Cramer emphasizes building tendon capacity and restoring pain-free movement through the MovementSpark Tendon Capacity System and structured progressions of activity. Treatment is individualized and assessment-driven, identifying three key factors—the issue, underlying cause, and recovery obstacles—before establishing clear, measurable goals aligned with each client's priorities. Sessions integrate client education and home self-care programs to support lasting change, with attention to living ergonomics and postural patterns that may contribute to dysfunction or compensation. Cramer also offers shockwave therapy for persistent conditions, programs addressing activity training and fitness goals, and specialized work with hypermobility presentations. Most extended health coverage is accepted. The clinic operates Monday through Friday 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday mornings.
