Meet our Registered Massage Therapists




Chantal M. Raper, RMT

I’ve been a massage therapist for almost five years now practicing at Polo Park Chiropractic Centre. I graduated from the Professional Institute of Massage Therapy in June of 2007. Since then, I have taken two specialized courses in myofascial release and manual lymph drainage. I enjoy practicing all of the massage therapy techniques I have learned thus far, and I intend to continue to further my education.

I have always enjoyed helping others and find it to be the best part of being a massage therapist. Nothing feels better than to see patients leave the office with a relaxed smile on their face. Massage therapy is a natural healing practice for the mind, body and soul. The countless benefits of massage still cease to amaze me to this day. I find my career to be very rewarding.

Outside of the office, I dedicate my time to exercising, cooking, outdoor activities and spending time with family and friends.




Chantelle Tugade, RMT

I recently graduated from Massage Therapy College of Manitoba (MTCM) in June 2011. I am a member of the Massage Therapy Association of Manitoba and I plan to take specialized courses through the association to better educate myself and learn new techniques. I’m very interested in reflexology, myofascial release and active release techniques.

I consider myself a very caring, funny and energetic person. I think this career choice is best suited for me because I enjoy helping people, especially when it’s health related. I believe that massage therapy is one of the oldest, natural forms of health care and I encourage anyone who has not indulged in massage therapy to try it.

In my spare time, I enjoy reading, working out, yoga, outdoor activities, travelling, and spending time with friends and family.

Dr. Arnold  Asks some important questions of interest to Winnipeg residents - Chiropractor Winnipeg Dr. Arnold Asks...

Can chiropractic cure a child's ear infections?
Chiropractic isn't a cure for anything. Nor is it a treatment for ear infections. However, many children who suffer with ear infections also suffer from spinal problems in their neck, compromising nerves to the ear, depressing the immune system and preventing proper drainage. Can chiropractic help? Find out!
What causes vertebral subluxations?
Chiropractors acknowledge three types of stress: physical, chemical and emotional. When the adaptive capacity of your body is compromised, weakened areas along the spine can become involved. Muscles tighten, spinal joints lock up and nearby nerves are affected. The purpose of chiropractic care is to find these areas and restore balance, alignment and motion.
