About Daniel Chan, RMT

Daniel is a Registered Massage Therapist and former Team Canada 400m hurdler with over three years of experience supporting high-performance and professional athletes in competition, travel, and training environments.

A graduate of Sutherland-Chan, Daniel currently serves as Team Massage Therapist for the Toronto Swim Club and the University of Toronto Track Club. He has provided competition-based manual therapy for Swim Ontario at the 2025 Luxembourg Euro Meet, Tennis Canada at the ITF W75 Toronto Tevlin Challenger, the Yonex Canadian International Challenge, and professional football athletes with the Toronto Argonauts. His experience spans multi-day international competition, in-season professional sport, and collaborative care within interdisciplinary Health & Performance teams.

Daniel’s passion for therapy is rooted in his decade-long career as an elite track and field athlete. He earned two gold medals at the 2013 Canada Summer Games in the 400m hurdles and the 4×400 relay and represented Team Canada at the 2010 IAAF World Junior Championships. Having navigated significant injuries throughout his competitive career, including ACL reconstruction, meniscus tears, and rotator cuff injuries, Daniel is committed to being the practitioner he wished he had during his own time competing.

Daniel holds advanced training in closed-chain lower-limb biomechanics, medical acupuncture (McMaster), fascial stretch therapy, and joint mobilizations. He also draws on a background in Qi Gong and breathwork to support recovery and stress management. His approach combines sport-specific clinical reasoning with clear communication and individualized treatment planning, helping clients recover from injury, manage load, and perform at their best.
