Joel Medina - Registered Massage Therapist
I am a Registered Massage Therapist and an active member of the Canadian Massage and Manual Osteopathic Association (CMMOTA). I graduated from Vicars School in Edmonton which follows the highest Canadian massage therapy educational standards. I also have full accreditation status from Canadian Massage Therapy Council for Accreditation (CMTCA).
Through my two years of schooling, I acquired, deepened and honed my knowledge of muscle pain. The supervised clinics taught me to fully understand the client’s situation by asking and listening. I come to realize that pain management always involves collaboration between the patient and the therapist in order to gain a positive outcome.
I got interested in learning more about the intricacies of massage therapy after my low back was relieved through massage therapy. This experience has inspired me to teach clients that pain is often only temporary and can be reduced and even eliminated with treatment.
I was born and raised in the Philippines and came to Canada as a Dairy Farm contract worker on November, 2010. Two years later my wife, Jonalyn and our three daughters followed me. We later happily settled in Leduc. I am now a full time Facility Operator with the City of Leduc, driving the zamboni and maintaining the ice arenas for hockey, ringette, and figure skating.
I am an avid sports fan, both as a participant and an observer. The Olympics has peeked my interest in many sports such as hockey and curling. I grew up as a self taught chess player and went on to play competitive level on a collegiate and regional level in the Philippines. Now I enjoy watching chess games of elite masters.
My Motto: I care to listen and listen to care!

Hi!! I've met Sir/uncle Joel when they had there visit here in the Philippines. Uncle voluntarily offered his massage when he saw my brother in law suffering lower back pain and eventually I and some of our family members also tried his massage therapy. I am suffering upper back pain for more than 10 years, going to traditional massages regularly just to ease the pain and to relax my back. I tried the massage of uncle Joel for three sessions and I can say that it helps me lessen my pain. How I wish uncle was here again for us, but so grateful on his shared stretching exercise that helps me gradually eliminate the pain I am suffering. His massage therapy was incomparable. Highly recommended. Must have his professional skills .

I’ve been a runner years and thought the pain I my glutes was something I would need to learn to live with. I had tried everything exercises, physio, chiro….. it wasn’t until I spoke with Joel. He took the time to figure out what was happening. He shared what excercises would help and the massage plan to get me running pain free. I have been running pain free for several months now. Highly recommend you see Joel. As I learned…. You don’t need to live with the pain.

As a qualified massage therapist I find it very hard to find a treatment where I can truly relax and not think what I would do differently. Finally I've found one! Professional from start to finish, Joel, is so intuitive and he did exactly what I needed. Perfect pressure and pace. I highly recommend him for those people like me who always experience body pain specially the lower back pain he can provide you a perfect massage. It’s worth your time.

Great massage experience! Joel has smooth, soft but healing hands. During my session he focused on eliminating my pain and made my body feel reborn. One of the good things he does is educating his clients about muscles, gives advice on proper posture to avoid injury and share some tips and exercises for relaxation. It’s really committed hands!

I have gone to Hoel for massages twice now and will be returning! His prices are fair and his massages are some of the best I've had to be honest! I feel great after every massage. He makes you very comfortable and makes sure you are doing good during the entire process. You can tell he cares about his customers!

My massage therapist Joel, is totally professional. I was comfortable at all times. He knows exactly where to apply pressure and he can feel my areas of pain. I feel relieved and fixed. Thank you Joel and will see you again!

Manong Joel is awesome. I had a back pain and he was able to determine the cause and addressed it with his massage. I'm amazed that he was able to do that without any invasive procedure. His service is highly recommended.
Myla Bay-an
I slept like a baby after I had the massage therapy. It had me relaxed just after a tiring and hectic week. Manong Joel was able to figure out the source of the pain I was enduring on my calf and foot. Also, he had been so helpful in guiding me on how to alleviate pains during my pregnancy. His service is indeed recommended.
Tiffany Lardizabal
Joel is one of the best RMT I tried! He finds all your trigger points and fix them! I don't mind the drive just to see him. Can't wait to come back and will definitely refer Joel to family and friends.
Ann Dela Cruz
Joel was recommended by my friend. I was skeptical at first as I find it hard to find a good massage therapist that's why I gave up going for massages but he proved me wrong! Highly recommended and will definitely go back again!
Sheryl M.
I'm so glad my friend referred me to Joel. He took the time to understand my needs and tailored the massage accordingly, addressing all my problem areas with precision. Would definitely come back whenever I'm in the area. I would definitely recommend Joel to anyone in need of top-notch massage therapy!
