Have Questions About Our Massage Therapy Services? We Have Answers!
Do I need a doctor's referral to book a massage?
No, you don’t need a doctor’s referral to book a massage therapy appointment.
However, if you plan to claim the treatment through your insurance provider, we may require a referral, so check your coverage details beforehand.
What should I expect during my first visit?
Your first appointment will begin with a health history intake form.
We’ll discuss your concerns, goals, and any medical conditions.
After the assessment, we will develop a treatment plan and explain the techniques used.
The actual massage will last the remaining scheduled time.
Is massage therapy covered by insurance?
Yes, many extended health insurance plans cover massage therapy when provided by a Registered Massage Therapist.
Coverage varies by provider and plan.
We provide detailed receipts with all necessary information for insurance claims.
What should I wear during the massage?
You’ll undress to your comfort level and will be professionally draped with sheets throughout the session, exposing only the area being worked on.
How often should I get a massage?
This really depends on your specific needs and goals.
For acute conditions or injuries, for example, we might recommend weekly sessions initially.
However, for general wellness and stress management, we’d likely go with monthly sessions.
What training and qualifications do massage therapists need to have?
All Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) are licensed by the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario (CMTO).
They have completed a rigorous 2-year diploma program (approximately 2,200 hours of training) at an approved Ontario massage therapy school.
Our RMTs maintain active registration with the CMTO and complete mandatory professional development courses each year through the Quality Assurance Program.
You can verify any of our credentials through the CMTO’s public registry.
