Therapists

Three RMTs, each with a distinct focus — so we can match you with the right hands for what you need.

Overview

Cascade Massage Therapy has three registered massage therapists in South Granville, Vancouver. Suzanne Malinowski-Plaquin’s treatment focus is TMJ pain or dysfunction and nervous system regulation. Dustin Hughes brings a balanced mix of relaxation and trigger-point work. Bryan Rempel’s areas of focus are chronic pain, sports injuries and nerve pain (away June–August 2026, resuming September 2026).

Suzanne Malinowski-Plaquin

RMT — Langara College

Suzanne’s own first massage is what pointed her toward the work. She trained at Langara College’s Registered Massage Therapy Program and graduated at the end of 2020.

Since then, she’s continued to deepen her expertise in two areas that have become central to her practice: temporomandibular joint (TMJ) treatment and nervous system regulation. Her patients run from desk workers and active retirees to athletes and weekend warriors. She has also worked trackside at mountain bike races, including BCBR and Single Track 6, and treated guests at heli-ski lodges.

RMT — Vancouver College of Massage Therapy (2017)

Most of Dustin’s treatments sit somewhere in the middle — relaxation work alongside techniques that go straight at the muscle giving you trouble, such as trigger point therapy. He checks in on pressure as he goes and adjusts to suit you. For him, a good massage does something for the head as much as the body.

He graduated from the Vancouver College of Massage Therapy in 2017 and has since treated competitive athletes, self-described couch potatoes, and plenty of people who sit between the two.

RMT — Vancouver College of Massage Therapy

Away June–August 2026 — resumes September 2026

Bryan trained at the Vancouver College of Massage Therapy (VCMT). His work leans toward chronic pain, sports-related treatment for athletes, and nerve pain — though he’s just as glad to take on the everyday stiff neck or sore back, which is what brings most people in.

He talks through what he’s finding as he works, so you walk out with some idea of why the pain is there and what to do about it between visits. Away from the clinic he plays and watches sport, camps, swims, and spends time with friends.

What our clients say

I have now had the pleasure of seeing all three practitioners, Suzanne, Dustin and Bryan. I can honestly say that they have assembled the dream team here! I no longer have to wait until my therapist is available — all three of these therapists are absolutely amazing! I have found my new home clinic.

— M.P.

Certainly a 5-star for service and experience. I’ve been seeing Dustin for a year now, and he always provides a great experience every time. He is attentive, informative, and professional. His treatments consistently relieve my neck and back pain, and I always leave feeling much better.

— Q.T.N.

I highly recommend Suzanne, RMT. I have experienced many massages from RMTs over the years and she is by far the best. She assesses your needs and any medical conditions prior to your massage and pays special attention to any problem areas. She takes a holistic approach. All those periodic aches and pains I used to have are now gone.

— E.W.

Calm, warm and welcoming space. Dustin took the time to review my history and was able to address each of the concerns that I came in with. Nice to have evening appointments available as well.

— C.R.

Both are amazing. Always pay attention to details and follow up with your concern. I felt very relaxed and released my tensions after each visit. It’s my looking-forward treat to myself.
