Registered Massage Therapy

Owner and Founder of Epoch Integrated Health, Ollivor (Olli) Dickson is a second-generation massage therapist who graduated from the West Coast College of Massage Therapy in 2019. Growing up in the Okanagan, Olli grew up playing high-level sports before leaving home at age 16 to pursue a 5-year junior hockey career that landed him in the WHL, AJHL, and KIJHL. Following his hockey career, Olli turned to managing, coaching, and scouting in the junior hockey ranks. Olli attributes his success at the rink to massage therapy as a recovery method for training and injuries he sustained over the course of his career.

In 2018, Olli moved from the South Okanagan to the Lower Mainland to pursue his passion for massage therapy. During his time in school, Olli worked in many different areas of practice, some of which included Friends for Life Society in Vancouver, Canucks Place, GF Strong Rehabilitation Centre, and Last Door Recovery Centre. Olli is trained in Swedish Massage Therapy, Deep Tissue Massage Therapy, Sports Massage Therapy, Myofascial Release, Joint mobilization as well as Pregnancy Massage.

Olli believes in a holistic and hands-on approach when helping his patients improve their quality of life. To help his patients achieve their treatment goals Olli incorporates active homecare modalities into his treatment plans. Olli also incorporates active, passive, and resisted ranges of motion into his practice with the hopes of maintaining or enhancing his patient’s mobility.

With a patient-focused approach Olli’s treatments start with a thorough assessment of his patients, this allows for Ollivor to find the best treatment plan for that particular treatment with the patient’s consent. During treatment time Olli continuously assesses and re-assesses his patient in order to confirm said treatment plan is working. After treatment, Olli then reassesses his patients and prescribes them with homecare modalities as previously mentioned. Olli’s area of focus has been treating patients with acute, chronic pain and dysfunction, and he also has had experience working with both amateur and professional athletes throughout his career.

Ollivor’s approach to therapy is to treat the body as a whole, not just addressing the immediate symptoms, in order to facilitate healing at the origin of the problem. Olli is a passionate and caring person as he helps his patients embark on their healing journeys.

Massage Therapy consists primarily of hands-on manipulation of the soft tissues of the body, specifically, the muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments, and joints for the purpose of optimizing health.

My interest in becoming a RMT stemmed from personally benefiting from massage therapy. Massage helped me as I trained for a half marathon and overcame an MVA injury. Such experiences motivated me to learn how I could help others prevent and recover from injuries and meet their personal goals.

I believe that the body has an inherent ability to heal itself. My goal is to determine the underlying issue through clinical assessment and to make corrections through clinical treatment and home care such as strengthening exercise, stretch and hydrotherapy.

I work with each patient, creating an individualized treatment plan, and view the recovery process as a team effort. I believe effective massage therapy can provide lasting change for a healthier you. I work with your individual needs and goals so you can be at your best!

My name is Jocelynn, I am a graduate of CDI’s massage therapy program. As an active participant in health and wellness over the past 4 years as a personal trainer, I have always had a strong driven passion to help others with their health. It has always been important to me to continue to learn and grow, so I can always provide the best for my clients and help them no matter where they are in there journey.

What drew me to massage therapy was wanting to expand my knowledge with rehabilitation so I’m able to help as many people as possible through their injuries, and gain better control of their body to restore optimal function. As someone who has been active her entire life I can empathize with how hard it is to face a set back.

As I await to take my board exams in September I can provide a variety of relaxing techniques to help manage stress and reduce muscle tension.
