All BC RMTs are governed by The College of Massage Therapists of British Columbia (CMTBC). In order to be RMT certified, Therapists spend thousands of hours studying in the fields of anatomy and physiology. Much of their studies are also focused on developing specialized massage techniques that assist in rehabilitation of injuries from physical activity or car accidents. Patients who use Massage Therapy on a regular basis notice day-to-day mobility and function of their body is greatly improved. In addition, those with injury or pain within their body will notice acceleration in the healing and recovery process. The overall goal is to help patients lead a more enjoyable, pain free, quality of life.

The use of steam rooms prior to Massage greatly improves overall muscular relaxation, allowing your therapist to get to the root of your pain in a much quicker time frame. We recommend you come 30 minutes prior to your scheduled Massage to relax in one of our steam rooms and get the most out of your RMT Massage.
