Registered Massage Therapy
Registered Massage Therapy offers a broad array of health benefits. Through manipulation of the soft tissues (fascia, muscles, organs), joints and structures of the body, it provides an amazing natural treatment for pain management, injury rehabilitation, postural dysfunction and preventative medicine.
Not just limited to physical benefits, massage also benefits emotional and psychological well-being by way of the senses through the nervous system.
Through a comprehensive intake and a one-on-one consultation, the RMT and client will decide what will be the best course of action. Once a goal has been set, the RMT will use a combination of tools and home-care to meet those goals. RMTs are trained to evaluate individual health needs, and provide active and passive techniques for complete patient care.
