My Journey

About Sunisa

From Physiotherapy and Thai Massage to Registered Massage Therapy in Canada

10+

Years

Hello, I'm Sunisa

I am a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) with over 10 years of experience in healthcare, rehabilitation, massage therapy, and movement-based care. My professional journey began in Thailand and has brought me to Canada, where I now combine evidence-based Western techniques with traditional Thai methods to deliver comprehensive, client-centered care.

Education

Foundations in Physical Therapy

My journey in healthcare began at Thammasat University in Bangkok, where I completed a Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy (2012-2016). This rigorous education provided me with a strong foundation in human anatomy, biomechanics, rehabilitation, and clinical assessment.

After graduating, I worked in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and private clinics in Thailand, treating a wide range of musculoskeletal, neurological, and post-surgical conditions. These early years allowed me to develop a rigorous, evidence-based approach to patient care.

2012-2016

Physical Training

Fitness Coaching & Conditioning

Between 2016 and 2017, I also worked as a fitness trainer at a wellness and performance center in Bangkok (WE Fitness). I designed and supervised individualized and group training programs, including boxing and conditioning sessions.

Functional strength and conditioning
Mobility, flexibility, and corrective exercises
Injury prevention strategies
Basic nutritional guidance
Group workouts and boxing-style conditioning

This experience deepened my understanding of movement mechanics and the connection between exercise, recovery, and injury prevention — knowledge that continues to inform my massage therapy treatments today.

2016-2017

Entrepreneurship

Founding My Own Physiotherapy Clinic

From 2017 to 2021, I founded and managed my own physiotherapy clinic in Bangkok (Body Right BKK). I treated patients recovering from injuries, surgeries, and chronic conditions, working closely with sports coaches and other healthcare professionals to ensure continuity between rehabilitation and physical activity.

During this time, I also integrated traditional Thai massage into my physiotherapy practice, combining these ancestral techniques with my clinical expertise to support pain relief, mobility, and overall well-being for my patients.

2017-2021

New Chapter

Training in Canada

In 2021, I moved to Canada to further my professional development. I completed an Advanced Diploma in Massage Therapy at Centennial College in Toronto (2021-2024). My training included extensive supervised clinical placements in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, neurological rehabilitation units, geriatric care, palliative care, and sports massage settings.

Today

Massage Therapy in Ottawa

Since October 2024, I have been based in Ottawa where I practice as a Registered Massage Therapist. I work both in a clinic setting and provide mobile home services, offering personalized, evidence-based massage therapy. Each treatment is tailored to individual needs, whether the goal is pain management, recovery, stress reduction, or long-term physical health.

I believe in careful assessment, attentive listening, and professional integrity. My goal is not only to relieve symptoms, but to help clients move better, feel stronger, and improve their overall quality of life.
