What does a massage treatment look like? 

Before your appointment, you’ll be asked to fill out a detailed health history, and share your current concerns. Your RMT (Registered Massage Therapist) will then discuss with you what they suggest for treatment.

Treatment will take place in a private treatment room on a massage table, or our massage chair (if laying down does not work for you).  

After treatment, you’ll leave with a plan for moving forward and instructions from your RMT on how to take care of yourself between appointments.
