Andrew Lewko
Founder 

Andrew has been practicing massage therapy since 1994 and brings over three decades of clinical experience to patient care. His career began working alongside athletic trainers, supporting athletes at all levels — from recreational competitors to elite performers — which shaped his strong foundation in movement, recovery, and performance-based treatment.

​

Over the years, Andrew’s practice has evolved beyond sports care into a deeply patient-centred approach that includes chronic pain management, rehabilitation, and palliative care. As a cancer survivor himself, he brings a unique level of empathy and understanding to his work, recognizing both the physical and emotional aspects of healing. This perspective allows him to meet patients where they are and support them through every stage of recovery.

​

Andrew is passionate about collaborative care and has spent much of his career working within multidisciplinary settings, learning from and contributing alongside other healthcare professionals. He believes the best outcomes happen when practitioners work together and continue to grow through education and shared knowledge.

His goal is simple: to help patients move better, feel stronger, and leave each visit with greater confidence in their health and wellbeing.
