Lisa Bender, RMT, has been practicing Massage Therapy since 1998. She has extensive knowledge in rehabilitation, prenatal, and sports massage.
Lisa specifically addresses injuries while co-treating with physiotherapists, chiropractors, osteopaths, and other massage therapists. Through her work, Lisa became interested in the benefits of Pilates and the blending of Massage Therapy and Pilates to help clients achieve optimum health and wellness. She has since become a STOTT® Certified Pilates Instructor, using her Massage Therapy background to focus on rehabilitation. She continues to further her Pilates training focusing on spinal, pelvic and scapular stabilization.
Lisa opened Spine Stretch Studio in 2002, offering STOTT® Pilates training and Massage Therapy. As more and more clients experienced the benefits of these two disciplines, she expanded her facility into a fully equipped Pilates Studio and wellness center offering Physiotherapy and other related services. She moved the Studio to the current home in 2006, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere that complements her personality and vision. Lisa's goal as Studio Director is for her clients to achieve their health and personal goals through the assistance and motivation of Spine Stretch Studio.
Aside from her passion of Pilates and Massage, Lisa has renewed her love of running over the past year completing her first half marathon. She plans to bridge her interests together and start a walking/running group to further motivate her members and clients to better health.
