Teemu Tikka

I graduated as a sports massage therapist from Suomen Urheiluhierojaopisto in the summer of 2022. My interest in massage therapy as a profession stemmed largely from my diverse sports background. From elementary school to early adulthood, I participated in sports such as floorball and ice hockey, the latter being my clear favorite.

Even after I stopped playing these sports, my passion for physical activity didn’t wane. My focus shifted to gym training, which over the past seven years has developed into both a hobby and a passion for bodybuilding. My goal is to continuously develop my expertise in this field through further training and by studying the latest information related to health and wellness. The knowledge I gain from various training programs enables me to combine techniques to achieve the best possible outcome for your specific needs.

Massage therapy is a profession that offers extensive opportunities for learning and skill development. For example, I have completed a basic course in dry cupping, which focuses on the fascia—the connective tissue surrounding the body—and its functions. Additionally, I have obtained qualifications in jaw muscle massage, which equips me to effectively treat patients suffering from issues related to the masticatory system. Currently, I am expanding my expertise in nutrition and studying to become a nutrition coach.
