Located in the heart of Kerrisdale, Kungfu Reflexology is a locally owned and operated professional therapy studio offering a range of services, including foot reflexology, body reflexology, acupressure, relaxation massage, deep tissue massage and traditional Chinese therapy.
The studio is run by William Liu, a former professional volleyball player who played for teams in Asia and Europe prior to moving to Canada in 2005. His 10-year athletic career earned him a junior Olympic medal, athletic scholarships, sports advertising contracts and – like any professional athlete – many sore muscles. It is thanks to the latter that he developed a passion for the services provided at Kungfu Reflexology.
“As professional athletes, we would get sore a lot, so I used to go twice a week for foot reflexology and once a week for deep tissue massage or reflexology,” says William. “Since I’ve been in Canada, I still play sports recreationally and there are many professional places in Richmond to go for reflexology or deep tissue massage, but they are quite far to travel to for regular therapies.”
So in 2014, William decided it was time to bring the reflexology professionals to him and introduce his neighbours to the holistic therapies he has found to be hugely beneficial.
