Registered Massage Therapy involves the assessment and treatment of soft tissue and musculoskeletal concerns using hands-on techniques. Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) in British Columbia are regulated healthcare professionals who provide individualized care based on each patient’s needs and treatment goals.

No referral is required to book an appointment with a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT). However, some extended health insurance plans may have specific requirements for reimbursement, so we recommend checking with your insurance provider.

Your RMT will begin with a health history and assessment to understand your individual needs and goals. Treatment will be tailored to your concerns and comfort level. Your consent and comfort are always prioritized throughout the appointment.

Massage therapy should not be painful. Some discomfort may be experienced when working on tight or sensitive areas, but your RMT will work within your comfort level and adjust the pressure as needed.

You’ll be asked to undress only to your level of comfort, and you’ll be properly draped throughout the session. You can also wear loose, comfortable clothing if preferred, and your RMT will adapt the treatment accordingly.

Yes, most extended health insurance plans cover RMT services. We suggest checking your plan for specific coverage details and limits.

The frequency of appointments varies by individual needs and goals. Some clients may benefit from more frequent appointments during injury rehabilitation, while others may choose occasional appointments to support mobility and manage muscle tension. Your RMT can discuss an appropriate treatment approach based on your needs and progress.
