Registered Massage Therapy

There are tremendous benefits to be achieved through regular massage therapy treatments from a Registered Massage Therapist. Whether your need is to relieve pain, reduce muscle tension or to decrease stress, a therapeutic massage can enhance your overall sense of emotional and physical well-being as well as your quality of life.

Massage therapy benefits people of all ages, and can be used in the treatment of both acute and chronic stages of conditions. While it benefits the injured, the ill and the stressed, the power of massage therapy in preventing illness and conditions before they develop cannot be overlooked.

Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs)

RMTs in British Columbia are health care professionals committed to restoring and maintaining optimal health and pain-free function of the body. They are educated and trained to evaluate individual health needs and treat through active and passive techniques for complete patient care. RMTs provide an accurate assessment, differential diagnosis, and prognosis of specific soft tissue and musculoskeletal conditions then act upon the muscular, nervous and circulatory systems to improve health.

BC's Registered Massage Therapists have 3-years of specialized training at an accredited college: the highest standards in North America. All have completed the BC registration exams set by the College of Massage Therapists of BC (CMTBC) and must continue with post-graduate studies to maintain registration. BC RMTs honour a strict code of ethics set by the CMTBC, which ensures that patients receive safe, competent, and ethical care.

Appointments consist of a consultation, a physical assessment, and manual therapy followed by a re-assessment and self-care suggestions. In order to develop a base line for treatment, your first visit will involve a more detailed consultation including your medical history as well as a thorough assessment of your current condition or injury. These are vital steps as this information will be used to make an educated decision on the best approach to treatment.
