Meet Matteo Serrao
Registered Massage Therapist
Matteo spent his early years focused on hockey, playing competitively until a wrist injury changed his path. His interest in movement and performance led him to earn a degree in Exercise Science and Kinesiology from the University of Guelph, with a minor in biomechanics. After briefly exploring medical school, Matteo realized his passion was more aligned with hands-on, movement-focused care.
EXPLORE OUR SERVICES
Professional, Clinical Approach
Returning to Ontario, Matteo trained at the Royal Canadian College of Massage Therapy. He was drawn to the high standards of regulation in Ontario, where massage therapy is treated as a medical field. Matteo values the structure, ethics, and professionalism expected of RMTs and takes pride in offering clinical care that goes beyond relaxation.
With a strong foundation in both athletic performance and therapeutic techniques, Matteo blends exercise-based recovery strategies with hands-on care to address a wide range of conditions.
These advanced modalities allow him to address more complex patient needs while maintaining high safety standards and clinical integrity.
Techniques That Go the Extra Mile
Matteo combines his sports background and academic training to support patients through a range of techniques. These include the following:
- Cupping therapy
- Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM)
- Dry needling
- Functional integrative needling
- Electro-acupuncture
- Shockwave therapy
Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, or supporting an active lifestyle, Matteo crafts treatment plans with real results in mind.
Outside the Clinic
When he’s not at the practice, Matteo stays active with gym sessions and men’s league hockey and walks with his high-energy cockapoo, Ollie. He also enjoys gaming as a way to unwind and recharge. Now working just steps from home in downtown Vaughan,, he’s excited to connect with the local community and deliver care that’s as professional as it is personal.
