Why Choose Registered Massage Therapy?

Registered Massage Therapy is more than just relaxation. RMTs are trained healthcare professionals who assess your body’s musculoskeletal system and provide evidence-based techniques to:

  • Reduce muscle tension and pain

  • Improve flexibility and range of motion

  • Support injury recovery and rehabilitation

  • Prevent future injuries

  • Enhance athletic performance and recovery

Conditions We Treat

Our RMTs have experience treating a wide range of conditions, including:

  • Back and neck pain

  • Headaches and migraines

  • Sports injuries (sprains, strains, overuse injuries)

  • Postural pain from sitting or repetitive movements

  • Chronic tension and stress-related discomfort

  • Recovery after surgery or trauma

Our Treatment Approach

We combine clinical knowledge with hands-on expertise to provide a personalized treatment plan. Techniques may include:

  • Deep Tissue Massage: Targets deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue to release chronic tension.

  • Trigger Point Therapy: Focuses on specific points causing pain or restricted movement.

  • Myofascial Release: Gentle, sustained pressure to stretch fascia and improve mobility.

  • Sports Massage: Helps athletes recover faster and prevent injuries.

  • Graston Technique: Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization to break down scar tissue and fascial restrictions.

  • Fascia Stretch Therapy: Gentle, assisted stretching to improve joint mobility and fascial flexibility.

  • Cupping Therapy: Uses suction to increase blood flow, reduce muscle tension, and promote healing.

  • Shockwave Therapy: Non-invasive treatment to stimulate tissue repair, reduce pain, and improve mobility.

Each session includes a thorough assessment, treatment, and guidance on self-care exercises to maintain results.
