Registered Massage Therapy

Massage Therapy is a regulated health profession involving the assessment and treatment of soft tissues and joints. Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) provide care based on each patient’s individual needs, concerns, and goals.

At Therapy Lounge, our Registered Massage Therapists take an individualized approach to care. Massage Therapy may incorporate a variety of techniques and approaches depending on the patient’s needs and the RMT’s education, training, experience, competence, and scope of practice. These may include Swedish massage, deeper-pressure techniques, myofascial techniques, stretching and movement-based techniques, joint mobilization, lymphatic drainage techniques, and other approaches that are appropriate within the scope of Massage Therapy.

Some techniques and approaches may require additional education or training and may not be offered by every RMT. Your RMT will discuss your needs and goals with you, explain the treatment options available, and determine which techniques are appropriate as part of your care.

Massage Therapy is a collaborative process between the patient and Registered Massage Therapist. Your RMT will work with you to develop an individualized approach to your treatment based on your needs, preferences, and goals.
