Registered Massage Therapy

Your RMT will review your health history and complete an orthopaedic assessment of your concerns. 

​

The amount of time this assessment will take depends on the complexity of your condition and number of body areas in need of assessment. 

​

Your RMT will use this information to develop a treatment plan to meet your goals. 

​

A re-assessment of this treatment plan will be done periodically.

Your RMT will teach you stretches and exercises to help reduce pain and help improve your function.

Your RMT may need to teach you modifications to activities or movements you do that may be contributing to your condition.

RMT's are trained to use hydrotherapy in treatment and can teach you how to incorporate hydrotherapy techniques at home.

​

Hydrotherapy is more  than using heat packs on sore muscles or having a hot bath.
