Tanya Bayda, RMT

 

Tanya Bayda's interest in massage therapy and health care began at a young age. Throughout childhood and university she studied many forms of dance and competed extensively in track & field. During those years, she witnessed the benefits of massage therapy first hand.

She completed three years at the University of Saskatchewan with a major in Anatomy/Physiology, her studies peaked her interest in massage and so she traveled to San Diego California to complete a holistic massage program at the International Professional School of Bodywork, an Institute of Psycho-Structural Balancing. The program integrated the physical, emotional, and intellectual aspects of bodywork by focusing on the movement, structure and form of Yoga and Tai Chi. It was there that Tanya found her calling.

With a desire to develop a more scientific foundation for her holistic and formatively intuitive massage practice, she moved to Victoria where she graduated from the West Coast College of Massage Therapy and became a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) in 2006. Later she completed Introductory and Intermediate level courses in Systemic Deep Tissue Therapy® (SDTT), and then enrolled in an ongoing Mentorship Program to complete her Advance Level in this unique technique, which she uses primarily in her massage therapy practice.

SYSTEMIC DEEP TISSUE THERAPY® (SDTT) is a highly effective system of manual therapy which was originated and developed by Armand Ayaltin DNM, RHP, RMT over a period of twenty-five years. The goal of SDTT® is to provide a highly effective treatment for acute, sub-acute, and chronically contracted muscles, which may be fibrotic and painful, in order to restore the muscle tissue to an optimal level of health and function. SDTT® can be used to treat ALL musculoskeletal dysfunctions. The approach to assessing and treating the body is based on the entire body's involvement in the supporting systems. Consequently, longer lasting relief and improvements become expected probabilities.

Tanya is also currently working towards her Bachelor Degree with a major in Health Science.

Tanya may also incorporate the following into her treatments:

Myofascial Release
Muscle Energy Technique
Trigger Point Release
Swedish Massage Techniques
Joint Mobilization
Therapeutic Exercises and Yoga
