John Hauser

Registered Massage Therapist

As a Registered Massage Therapist, I’m passionate about supporting all people on their journey to better health and wellness. Whether you’re recovering from injury, training for performance, or seeking balance in daily life, I’m here to help you move and feel your best. My clients include individuals from all walks of life from high performance athletes seeking treatment for a sport specific injury to office workers suffering from the stress and strain of the daily grind.

My focus is on deep tissue massage, and incorporates Swedish, trigger point, and movement-based techniques, along with joint mobilization. I am passionate about continuously honing my skills and training to offer the best in evidence based treatment and therapeutic modalities for my clients. I am authorized in the use of acupuncture by the CMTO, and have training in cupping. I’m committed to creating a safe, supportive space where every client feels cared for and comfortable. I have completed trauma-informed training for Registered Massage Therapists through the RMTAO.

Outside my work as an RMT, I am an everyday athlete and love to be out in nature. I’m often on the roads, trails, and rivers around Peterborough and the Kawarthas, cycling, running, mountain biking, cross-country skiing, or paddling. I am dedicated to serving in the community and contributing to the continued vibrancy of our region. I am on the board of Kawartha Nordic Ski Centre and Kawartha Sexual Assault Centre. 

What is something about you that usually surprises people?

My handwriting. It’s just weird. Some tell me it looks like I’m writing like a lefty with my right hand. I start my letter from the wrong direction.  I’m not sure how I ended up this way.
