About Todd Stevens
Todd has been practicing for over 20 years in Salmon Arm, BC, and takes a proactive approach to helping those from the community.
He is a graduate of Salmon Arm Senior Secondary School and West Coast College of Massage Therapy in Vancouver.
Todd lives on an acreage in Salmon Arm with his wife and son, amd enjoys the outdoors; walking, hiking, biking, skiing, really almost anything that gets him moving and having fun.
Todd has 2 very active dogs under the age of 3. Growing up, he played competitive hockey which drew him naturally towards massage therapy, and Todd focused on athletes early on in his career, including the local major junior hockey team, which was very rewarding.
As most people might know, athletes are only small percentage of the population and are already motivated to move. With both Todd’s mother and father having nursing backgrounds he quickly realized that all groups of our society from babies to seniors need access to massage therapy.
Keeping oneself active and mobile throughout life is a real roller-coaster; some days are fun while others can be hard, and Todd’s role is to help patients enjoy life by assisting in keeping the body tuned and functional.
