Massage
Registered massage therapists (RMT) working on what's sore or tight, so you're not working around it.
When Massage Can Help
Whether you're in because something has seized up or because your body asks a lot of you, your RMT picks the approach that suits your need. Deep tissue work, myofascial release, trigger point, and for some therapists, visceral and craniosacral therapy.
What to expect
01
Assessment
Your RMT takes the time to understand what's going on before they begin, so the session is shaped around where you are that day.
02
Treatment
Hands-on work chosen for your body, in a private room. You say what's too much and what isn't enough, and your therapist adjusts.
03
Aftercare
A few stretches to keep things from creeping back, and a sense of whether once was enough or whether to book again.
What techniques will my RMT use?
Depending on your goals and comfort level, your RMT may combine deep tissue massage, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, and joint mobilization. Some therapists also have training in visceral and craniosacral therapy. Every technique is adjusted to what you're comfortable with.
Will the massage hurt, or cause soreness afterward?
Deep tissue work and trigger point release can create some discomfort — "good pain" — but it should always stay within your tolerance. Mild soreness for 24–48 hours afterward is normal, similar to how you'd feel after a workout.
What should I wear, and how does draping work?
You'll have privacy to undress to your comfort level — most clients go down to underwear. You're covered by a sheet throughout the session, with only the area being worked on uncovered.
Is Registered Massage Therapy covered by extended health insurance?
Yes. RMT treatment is covered under most extended health plans in BC, and we direct bill most major providers.
Other Treatments We Offer
Physiotherapy, Clinical Pilates, kinesiology, and more all under the same roof and focused on helping you live fully. If you're not sure whether massage is the right place to start, book a physiotherapy assessment first.
