Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) are trained in the assessment and diagnosis of soft tissue and joints of the body, and the treatment and prevention of injury, pain and physical disorders. RMTs are dedicated to treating your symptoms of pain and dysfunction, including the underlying causes.
It is widely understood that massage therapy decreases stress and helps control pain. Perhaps less known is the effectiveness of massage therapy in treating deeper structures of the body such as ligaments, bones and joints, fascia, blood vessels, organs and other soft tissues of the body. Massage therapy can provide relief for many common conditions such as migraine headaches, tendonitis, arthritis, osteoporosis, fibromyalgia, sports injuries and various other soft tissue sprains and strains (source)
A common misconception is that massage therapists provide only "hands on" therapy. Your RMT is trained in rehabilitative exercise such as hydrotherapy, stretching, strengthening, and postural exercises and committed to providing the very best in one-on-one patient care. Our signature, hot stone therapy, is one of those effective traditional treatments that adds benefits and features not always accessible via "regular" massage therapy treatment. book now!

Similar to the item above - Hot Stone Therapy Home Visits are booked in sets of two (minimum of two treatments booked and completed in one visit). Insurance receipts will be provided on premises. In terms of the geographic area, please refer to the guidelines provided above.
A significant rise in massage therapy use in Ontario can be attributed to higher educational standards, extensive research studies proving the efficacy of massage therapy, and an overall increase in public interest in non-surgical and drug-free treatment options. The most current research suggests that there is a direct link between our physical well-being and our mental or emotional state, which can be positively affected by massage therapy. Research also supports the use of massage therapy as an effective approach in injury management and rehabilitation, as well as part of a preventive care program.
