What is Therapeutic Massage?
Therapeutic massage is a form of manual treatment performed by a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT). It combines various techniques — kneading, friction, deep pressure and stretching — to treat muscle tension, improve blood circulation and promote the body's natural healing process.
Unlike relaxation massage, therapeutic massage targets specific areas of pain or tension. Your therapist assesses your condition, adapts pressure and techniques to your needs, and works on the root causes of your discomfort.

FAQ
Is therapeutic massage covered by insurance in Ontario?
Yes. As a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) registered with the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario (CMTO), I provide official receipts accepted by most insurance plans including Sun Life, Manulife, Canada Life, Blue Cross, Desjardins and Green Shield.
What is the difference between therapeutic massage and relaxation massage?
Therapeutic massage targets specific areas of pain, tension or dysfunction using techniques like deep tissue work, trigger point therapy and myofascial release. Relaxation massage (Swedish) uses gentler, flowing strokes primarily for stress relief and overall well-being. I assess your condition and recommend the best approach for your needs.
How often should I get a therapeutic massage?
For chronic pain or acute conditions, weekly sessions are often recommended initially. Once symptoms improve, many clients transition to every 2-4 weeks for maintenance. I will discuss a treatment plan tailored to your specific condition during your first session.
Do I need a doctor's referral for RMT massage in Ontario?
No. In Ontario, you can book directly with a Registered Massage Therapist without a doctor's referral. However, some insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement — check with your insurance provider to confirm your coverage.
What should I prepare for a mobile massage at home?
Very little! I bring my professional massage table, fresh linens, oils and everything needed. You just need a space of approximately 2m x 3m — a living room or any open area works perfectly — and comfortable room temperature. No other preparation is needed.
