GRAND RIVER ROCKS

Background

Devin Dawson is a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT), an avid rock climber and fellow Grand River Rocks Member. He aims to assist you in improving your climbing and training by working with you to maintain full range of motion of joints, reducing muscle soreness and recovery time between sessions, and improving muscle function.

I can feel the impact climbing has on the body, and I wish to offer this reduced rate to make Massage Therapy more accessible to fellow Members, to train and climb as effectively as possible.
