Massage Therapy

Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) in British Columbia are health care professionals committed to restoring and maintaining optimal health for their patients. RMTs undergo extensive training in the treatment and prevention of injury, pain, and physical disorders through the manual manipulation of soft tissue structures of the body. They are educated to assess and treat using a variety of techniques such as deep tissue massage, fascial and trigger point release, passive stretching, joint mobilizations, hydrotherapy, rehabilitative exercise, and patient education.
