Registered Massage Therapy

What is Massage Therapy

Massage Therapy involves utlilizing specific techniques to manipulate superficial and deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue.  A Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) is a primary health care provider in Ontario.  The RMT assesses and treats soft tissues in the body.  By utilizing a combination of hands-on treatments of muscles and connective tissue the RMT seeks to provide physical relief by positively affecting muscular, circulatory, lymphatic, and nervous systems.  Massage therapy by an RMT helps to restore homeostasis or balance between sets of muscles that may have become over- or under-worked due to stress, illness, repetitive use, injury or surgery.
