Meet Sungeun (Emma) Lee, a Registered Massage Therapist at Joayo Therapy whose fascination with the human body goes back over a decade — she began her career as a massage therapist in Korea in 2012 before pursuing further studies and becoming an RMT in Canada.
Areas She Commonly Works With
Emma is especially comfortable working with acute and chronic low back pain, upper back, neck and shoulder tension, and headaches or migraines. She also understands the value of relaxation massage and stress management, and has experience working with clients who are pregnant or recently postpartum.
Her Approach to Treatment
Emma believes massage should be an overall positive experience — even when working with pain, she aims to balance effective, moderately deep pressure with techniques that still feel comfortable, adjusting intensity based on what each patient needs. She takes time with every patient to build a specific treatment plan and encourages clients to think ahead about what they want from each session.
Staying Active
Through hiking, cycling, swimming, and yoga, Emma brings a personal understanding of how injury and rehabilitation connect to an active lifestyle — insight she carries into her treatment approach.
If you’re dealing with ongoing tension or recovering from an injury, Emma and our massage therapy team at Joayo Therapy in Brentwood, Burnaby can build a treatment plan around your needs.
