Massage Therapy

There are many types of massage: some can soothe aching muscles, others may ease stress, and all aim to give you a sense of well-being.

Massage is recognized for its healing and relaxation potential. Recipients often report sleeping better, having greater energy, fewer aches and pains, and an over-all sense of well-being.

Massage Therapists work with patients recovering from a wide range of conditions, including joint injuries, chronic neck and back pain, arthritis, sciatica and migraine headaches.

Professional and weekend athletes are discovering the benefits of massage to help prevent injuries, improve performance and reduce soreness after exercise.

Ontario has a licensing board for massage therapists that sets rigorous membership standards. By choosing a Registered Massage Therapist, you may be assured that your therapist is a highly qualified health professional.

In recognition of this, some extended health plans will cover massage therapy and you may find you can be reimbursed for some or all of the cost of your treatment. Some plans require a doctor’s referral note in order to reimburse you – please check your plan for their policy.
