Helping Victoria Find Balance Since 2006
Equilibrium was founded on a simple belief: great healthcare begins with great people.
What started as a single massage therapy clinic in 2006 has grown into one of Victoria’s largest multidisciplinary manual therapy teams — 75 team members, including 58+ practitioners, delivering more than 51,000 treatments every year across three locations.
Twenty years later, every decision we make still starts with the same question:
“What’s best for the patient?”
That question guides everything — the practitioners we welcome to our team, the spaces we create, and the experience we want every person to have when they walk through our doors.
Built by Practitioners
Equilibrium was founded by Victor Morin and Brenda Beattie, Registered Massage Therapists who began their careers in 1993. After more than a decade with their hands on the work, they opened a small massage therapy clinic on Yates Street — built to be the kind of clinic they would want to work in, and be treated in: where practitioners are supported, patients are never rushed, and care is guided by evidence and genuine attention.
Thirty-three years after treating their first patients, they still lead Equilibrium day to day.
Our Story
Equilibrium has long been among Victoria’s largest providers of massage therapy. Demand for our care — and our belief in the benefits of an integrated, multidisciplinary approach — led us to grow:
2006 — Equilibrium Massage Therapy opens on Yates Street, downtown Victoria.
2018 — Our second clinic opens on Tillicum Road. We adopt the name Equilibrium Therapeutics to mark our expansion into multidisciplinary care.
2019 — Our third clinic opens in Eagle Creek Village, across from Victoria General Hospital.
2026 — Our original downtown clinic moves to a beautiful new home at Hudson Mews, Unit 120–780 Fisgard Street, in the historic Hudson’s Bay building — with free underground parking for patients.
Registered Massage Therapy remains the foundation Equilibrium was built on — and we’ve grown alongside our community’s needs to include physiotherapy, chiropractic, acupuncture, kinesiology, clinical counselling, and exercise therapy.
A Team, Not a Collection of Practitioners
Clinical expertise is the entry requirement — it’s not what makes our team exceptional.
Every practitioner here is chosen for their skill and for their kindness, integrity, accountability, and genuine desire to help. They come from different professions and backgrounds, but they share a commitment to honest communication, continuous learning, and working together for the best possible outcome.
Our greatest strength isn’t any one practitioner. It’s how the team works together.
Collaborative, Multidisciplinary Care
No two people are alike, and neither are their healthcare journeys.
Whether you’re recovering from injury, managing chronic pain, preparing for surgery, improving athletic performance, navigating mental health challenges, or investing in long-term wellbeing, our practitioners collaborate across disciplines when it benefits you.
Sometimes the right answer is one type of treatment. Sometimes it’s a combination. We never promote one profession over another — our only focus is the care that’s right for you. And from the moment you arrive, our clinics are designed so healthcare never feels rushed, impersonal, or intimidating. Feeling cared for begins long before treatment starts.
Our Values
Everything we do is guided by five core values:
WOW Service — Creating experiences that exceed expectations.
Honest Communication — Building trust through openness, respect, and transparency.
Accountability — Taking responsibility for our actions and continually striving for excellence.
Teamwork — Supporting one another, because great healthcare is never delivered alone.
Growth Mindset — Embracing learning, innovation, and continuous improvement.
These values shape our culture, guide our decisions, and influence every interaction we have — with patients and with one another.

Everyone Belongs Here
Equilibrium is committed to a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment for every patient. We celebrate diversity and work to ensure that everyone — regardless of age, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, religion, ability, or background — is treated with dignity, respect, and compassion.
Creating an inclusive environment is an ongoing journey. We remain committed to listening, learning, and improving — and we welcome feedback on how we can do better.
