He is also a member of the Registered Massage Therapists’ Association of British Columbia, which awarded him with Honourable Mention for his case study about chronic back pain, Swedish massage and myofascial trigger points.

Carlos’ main goal is to help people recover from injury or illness and maintain their bodies in optimal health. He has experience working with a wide variety of clients, including cases of musculoskeletal injuries (sport, work or post-surgical), headaches, migraine, stress, digestive problems and pain.

As a massage therapist he uses a wide range of techniques such as myofascial release, trigger-point therapy, Swedish massage, joint mobilization, prescription of therapeutic exercise and hydrotherapy. In his acupuncture practice his treatments can include acupuncture, electro-acupuncture, oriental massage techniques (shiatsu, acupressure, tuina), cupping and prescription of Tai Chi and Qi Gong exercises.

During his career, Carlos has combined his work as a therapist with his activity as a teacher; since 2010 he has trained students and professionals in the areas of massage and acupuncture in his natal Mexico.

Also in Mexico he completed a Music Bachelor and a certification in Art history in 2002 at the Universidad de las Américas-Puebla. In his spare time he practices yoga and meditation.
