Deep tissue massage
Slow, sustained pressure into deeper layers of muscle for long-standing tension.
Registered massage therapy (RMT)
Therapeutic massage with a clinical purpose.
The short answer
Registered massage therapy involves assessment and hands-on care within the therapist’s professional scope. People seek it for symptoms such as muscle discomfort, but benefits and suitability vary. Check reimbursement rules with your insurer before booking.
Our approach
Our RMTs both hold Kinesiology degrees, and it shows: massage here is assessed, targeted and connected to the rest of your care. Relaxation has its place — but the aim is that you move better when you leave.

Questions about massage therapy
General information to help you discuss the service.
Is RMT covered by insurance?
Most extended health plans in Ontario cover massage therapy by a Registered Massage Therapist. We can direct bill many plans; some require a physician’s note, so check your coverage.
Will deep tissue massage hurt?
Pressure should be agreed with you and adjusted at any time. You can ask for lighter pressure or stop. Pain is not proof that treatment is working; discuss persistent or concerning symptoms with an appropriate health professional.
What should I wear to a massage appointment?
Anything comfortable. You undress only to your comfort level and are properly draped throughout the treatment.
