Frequently asked questions

You do not need a referral to see a Registered Massage Therapist as a private patient or if you are on MSP Premium Assistance. However, some extended health plans require you to have a referral as a condition of reimbursement. Check with your extended carrier as each carrier and plan is different.
  • Doctor’s referral (if you have one)
  • Care card number
  • Bring in your benefits card with your id/plan number (see below for exceptions to direct billing)
  • Shorts if you are being treated for a back, hip, knee, ankle or foot problem

New patients should complete an online intake form prior to their first clinic appointment. 

Please arrive at least five minutes early on your first visit to fill out the consent form. You will complete the consent form at the beginning of the first appointment, before treatment starts, and potentially again during subsequent appointments if necessary.

Massage Therapy appointments will last the time requested at booking.

In most cases, yes. While we have a great health care system in BC, there are coverage limits for Massage Therapy.

Private payers and those using extended health plans are required to pay at the time of treatment.

I can direct-bill most extended health insurers, but there may still be a co-payment depending on how much your specific plan covers, and the maximums set by the insurer.

Her massage career began at the YMCA Sport Medicine clinic where she worked for 13 years. For the last 16 years, Jacquie has practiced in a multidisciplinary clinic in downtown Vancouver, which she opened and co-owned since 2007. 

Jacquie is excited about this new opportunity to live and work in our Commercial drive community. Beginning in March 2023, she started at Trikinetic Massage Therapy Clinic. Jacquie looks forward to being a part of your wellness journey with both existing loyal clients and new clients.

Jacquie has taken many continuing education courses over the years to remain current with today’s massage therapy standards including:

She incorporates techniques she has learned when applicable. 

Her primary treatment style is targeted deep pressure trigger point release with deep Swedish massage, stretching, muscle energy technique, and occasionally cranial sacral therapy. These techniques result in relief from chronic pain related to injuries.

Jacquie works alongside her 2-year-old yellow lab working guide dog named Gratitude. They both respectfully ask that you understand that Gratitude is also working while she is in the clinic and that you not engage with her while you are together in the treatment room. She is very good and lies on her rug most of the time, with the occasional stretch and reposition. It will be hard to resist her because she is a beautiful sweet girl; however, it is important to remember that Gratitude’s primary purpose is to insure Jacquie’s safety. Gratitude really likes to make friends which could ultimately jeopardize both of them in their travels. Thank you from both of them.

My clients say ...

Reviews from some of my awesome clients …

I have been going to Jacquie for the past decade for good reason. Not only is she brilliant at what she does, she is empathetic in her approach and a great conversationalist (if you are in the mood) to boot. I first started seeing her when I was training for a marathon in Vancouver. Ever since then, I have moved to three different cities and I have yet to find an RMT who is able to work out my nooks and crannies like she does. I’ve scoured the streets of Toronto and NYC, but I find myself going back to Jacquie’s caring hands. Under her care, be prepared to really work on those muscles and you will be hitting personal bests like I did in no time.

“I have been truly fortunate to have had a 25+ year relationship with my RMT, Jacquie Sinclair. During that time, I have been beyond impressed by the depth and breadth of Jacquie’s knowledge and her diagnostic and deep-tissue massage skills. Not only has she kept me moving through years of long distance running and other sports endeavours, but she has also helped me with injuries related to long hours of computer/office work. I am still amazed at how she put me at ease at the very beginning and that she remembers all the conversations we have had over the years. She’s the best!”

Karin

Another happy client of Jacquie's. Didn't have high hopes since all else had pretty much failed. I couldn't even associate the discomfort to anything since it was embedded so deeply in my arm. Jacquie's experience to pinpoint the issue was amazing. Will definitely be going back whenever I have issues and would highly recommend to others.

Jacquie Sinclair has by far been the best massage therapist I have seen in Vancouver. When I first saw Jacquie I could barely sit in a chair or put on a t-shirt due to a dislocated rib from a snowboarding injury. Within 3 sessions I was back to full mobility and health.

Jacquie is one of the most thoughtful and genuine health care providers I’ve ever seen. She’s so knowledgeable and has helped me tremendously with my mobility since my surgery. I am so grateful to her, she has not only helped with my physical recovery but has also been a friend and a huge part of my support system throughout this process

Jacquie Sinclair is absolutely incredible. Not only does she engage her patients with compassion and expertise, but she also does an incredible job building a rapport and relationship that makes you look forward to your sessions. Her ability to hone-in on problem areas and create a program for scaled improvement made a real difference for me. Would recommend to anyone.

I've been seeing Jacquie S for RMT services over the past 5 years. The reason why I keep coming back is because of all the practiconers I have seen, she has demonstrated the most expert level of care for my needs. Whether it's an injury, repetitive stress, or even jaw grinding, she's helped me address my health needs in a considerate and thoughtful manner. I appreciate that Jacquie provides a strong, firm massage that can really address my aches and pains. And on days when I want to take it easy, I just speak up and ask for a lighter touch. I would definitely recommend Jacquie's services to anyone seeking RMT services in the downtown core.

I've been seeing Jacquie Sinclair for approximately 12 years off and on for various sports injuries, a car accident, aches and pains and most recently during my pregnancy. She has been amazing in assisting with my recovery of my injuries, which ranged from my legs, shoulders, neck and back. She has always been friendly, professional, kind, and informative and listened to what I needed each treatment to obtain the best result from each session. I highly recommend Jacquie to assist with relief of aches and pains or injuries. The staff at the office are also extremely helpful and friendly and I always enjoy visiting the office and recommend this office to many of my friends and family for treatment.

If your looking for an RMT I highly recommend Jacquie !!I I've had hundreds of massages due to pains with my upper back and IT band and I felt that Jacquie had more expertise than the average RMT I've had. She is professional, knowledgeable, experienced and friendly. From beginning to the end it was just a great experience and I will definitely return . Thank you Jacquie!

Wonderful experience with Jacquie Sinclair. She cares about how you feel before and after each treatment. Great sense of humor as well. I have personally recommended her to others and they have all had only good things to say about her.
Gary Tse
Jacquie is a great massage therapist and has been fixing up my broken body for 2 years now. She has the experience and deft touch needed to keep my legs moving. I would highly recommend her.
Chris Carter
Jacquie Sinclair brought me back to normal from a serious whip lash injury. I suffered greatly from chronic pain for a couple years. I had a difficult time working and my quality of life was very low. I had a hard time getting out of bed every morning due to pain and stiffness in my shoulder, back and neck. I used to refer to it as the "rigamortis setting in" due to the lack of movement I had each morning. The only thing to get me up out of bed was a daily routine of stretches and then I would suffer through the day with consistent chronic pain. I went to see Jacquie on a regular basis for massage therapy. I followed her advice on when to come back for the next massage and trusting in her judgement. Her deep sports massage was highly effective in breaking up the scar tissue and helping to smooth out the muscles again so the muscles could finally learn how to relax again. At firest, the deep massage was painful but I knew that she had to get into the damaged areas and break them up, soon enough the deep sport massage became less painful as my health improved. I am very grateful for Jacquie's 20+ years of registered massage therapy experience because it has allowed me to live a full and active lifestyle again PAINFREE! Thank you Jacquie and thank you for your "magic hands" for helping me get back to a painfree life again. I highly recommend Jacquie, she is an expert at the deep sports massage.

Best RMT in the city, I had slipped a few ribs and that’s when I started going to Jacquie and she seriously has magic hands! She worked out all my kinks and I feel incredible.
Sarah West
I think if you want to a proper professional massage in downtown Vancouver then this is the place you looking for. I was suffering with back pain and went Jacquie, she did a amazing job and highly recommend this place for a professional massage therapy.
Kurian OS
Oh my word! Jacquie Sinclair grounded me to a pulp, then flattened me out thinner than a piece of printer paper and then threw me in the wash a couple times. That’s was the inverse of relaxing, but exactly what I needed!
Daniel Farid
Great sports massage therapist and service. Jacqueline has sports background and explains to me what's going on when I ask questions. She is "Magic".
D Kawas
Jackie is excellent! God gives her a pair of magic hands. She can fix my problem. Horray!
