THE THERAPIST

Christopher John Aquino

Christopher graduated from McGill University in Montreal, Canada in 2000 with a Bachelor of Education, specializing in Fitness/Kinesiology. After graduating he moved to Orange County, CA where he worked as the assistant fitness manager of 24 Hour Fitness while he attended the American Institute of Massage Therapy and the Sports Massage Training Institute in Costa Mesa, CA. He has been a licensed massage therapist since 2001 and is a member of the Association of Bodywork and Massage Professionals.

Christopher's continuing education is extensive which includes training/certification in ART (Active Release Techniques), Kinesiotaping, Indian Champissage, Myofascial Release, Pre- and Perinatal Massage Therapy, Orthopedic Massage, Pain Management, and Stone Massage. He has had the privilege and opportunity to travel the world working with a wide variety of clientele including students, stay at home moms, business owners, Olympic and professional athletes, and celebrities and TV personalities. Christopher enjoys working with a wide variety of people and welcomes any challenges he faces when presented with different injuries and discomforts. He treats each individual as a unique case to ultimately improve their discomforts, never satisfied until his patients are functioning at 100%.

Christopher, his wife Nana, and their beautiful daughter Keira enjoy living in Southern California and look forward to all the great possibilities ahead. Family and laughter are very important to them and they believe that good health comes from being active with a positive outlook in life.
