A Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) in British Columbia is a registered health care professional recognised by the provincial college/instituition who has completed extensive education in massage therapy.

They are highly educated to accurately assess and treat with techniques that include massage and manual therapy, joint mobilization, and rehabilitative exercise such as stretching, strengthening, postural exercise and patient education.

​

Massage Therapy is an effective approach to pain management and rehabilitation. RMTs are effective in treating and providing relief for a wide range of conditions such as migraine headaches, tendonitis, arthritis, osteoporosis, fibromyalgia, sports injuries, as well as many other conditions related to soft tissue and joint dysfunction.

Do I have to fill out the intake form?

I highly recommend filling out your health history intake form in advance. This will save you valuable time during your first treatment which in turn saves you money. By filling it out in advance you can also spend time assessing your own history logging all past injuries, surgeries, hobbies and how you have used your body. This really helps to give a therapist a broad picture of how you have used and maintained your body and what may be contributing to your current issues
