What is Therapeutic Massage?

Therapeutic Massage is the manipulation of muscles, connective tissue, joints, ligaments and/or tendons with the intention of addressing the client's needs. The therapeutic treatment may include the use of hydrotherapy, stretching and strengthening in order to maintain and/or improve your overall health and well-being.

What to expect on your first visit

You will be asked to complete a health history form and the therapist will do an initial assessment. This confidential information will be instrumental when creating your personalized safe and effective treatment plan.

If you have already completed this health form please bring it with you to the first appointment. If not, please come 10 minutes early to fill out the form. (available on line)

Is the treatment covered by OHIP?

Massage therapy is not covered by OHIP. But you should check your health benefits plan because many extended heath care plans cover massage. I will issue you a receipt with my registration number which may make it possible for you to claim a full or partial refund for the cost of the treatment.

How do I know if the therapist is an RMT?

• RMTs are required to display their Certificate of Registration which shows their registration number. Or you can call the C.M.T.O (college of Massage Therapists) to verify.
• RMTs are required to ask for your consent before treating you and you can withdraw your consent for treatment at anytime.
• In addition, you may decide to be treated fully clothed and your privacy will always be respected.
