Jil Forbes
Registered Massage Therapist, Registered yoga teacher, Accredited Continuing Education Provider
Located in Kamloops, Jil has experience treating those suffering from conditions due to repetitive strain injuries, such as low back pain and sciatica. She treats whiplash as well as athletic injuries from weekend warriors to competitive athletes.
Jil grew up in Kamloops and completed her training with the Vancouver College of Massage Therapy. Upon graduation, she lived and worked on the west coast of the island, where she fell in love with surfing and the ocean. She then moved to Sun Peaks, BC to work with ski racers and weekend warriors. After a season of skiing and ski touring, Jil had the opportunity to work in a mentorship program with a renowned RMT at Rebound Health Services in the lower mainland. She then went on to study internationally to become a STECCO Fascial Manipulation practitioner and is one of the only practitioners in Kamloops with this certification. With her mentorship ending and a new set of skills, Jil decided to move back to Kamloops and start her own practice. She has also completed her 200 hour Power Vinyasa Yoga teacher training followed by Prenatal Yoga training to bring a holistic element into her massage therapy practice. Jil has also completed the Graston Technique using the Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization techniques to further assess and treat the fascial system.
Jil is co-founder of Muva Education, where she co-creates and teaches Continuing Education Courses for fellow RMT’s approved by the College of Massage Therapy of BC.
