What is an RMT? Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) graduate from an accredited school of Massage & Hydrotherapy completing a provincially legislated 3000 hour 3 year full time curriculum. Aspects of the curriculum include Anatomy, Physiology, Neurology, Pathology, Orthopedic Assessment, Therapeutic Exercise as well as Therapeutic Massage Treatment. RMT’s also receive experience in treatment of the geriatric, disabled & mentally handicapped. Sports Massage & athletic injury are also areas of interest & experience. Upon graduation, RMT’s successfully complete a provincial licensing examination, thus earning the title of RMT. it is recommended that all those who seek massage treatment should do so via a Registered Massage Therapist.
How can Massage Therapy help me? Massage Therapy helps to restore and maintain optimal health and pain-free function of the body. 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: Whiplash Associated Disorders Chronic stress/fatigue Back pain & discomfort
I may feel a little shy... Patients from every walk of life benefit from regular Massage treatment. Manipulations are always performed within the patient’s pain & comfort tolerances. Patients are always covered with a sheet & only areas being treated are exposed. Patients are never compromised in any way. One can expect safe & caring treatment from a Registered Massage Therapist. We look forward to being of service in the days & years to come, be it relief from an on-going physical condition or some much needed relaxation.
