REGISTERED MASSAGE THERAPY

Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) are healthcare professionals who are dedicated to restoring and maintaining optimal health for their patients. Our RMT at Ryo is highly trained at orthopedic assessment and focussed on therapeutic massage with a goal of healing injured tissues.

Massage therapy is effective for injury and pain management and rehabilitation. Our commonly-treated injuries include ICBC injuries, WorkSafeBC injuries, sports injuries and other musculoskeletal injuries. Many patients come to our clinic for the treatments for chronic pain as well.

HOW TO PREPARE FOR YOUR FIRST VISIT

  • Before your visit, you will fill out an intake form to give us a snapshot of your current health and an overview of your chief health concerns. This may take some time, so please arrive 10-15 minutes before the visit.
  • During your initial visit, the therapist will gather your health information and consult with you about your ailment and outline the treatment prior to your treatment. The treatment will be within your comfort level and the therapist will check with you to ensure you are comfortable with the environment and pressure being applied. You can always let your therapist know if anything feels uncomfortable or painful and your therapist can adjust the treatment accordingly.
  • After your treatment, the therapist will assess your treatment and discuss their recommendations. This can include patient education, homecare techniques and follow-up treatments.

*Most extended health insurance plans in Canada cover massage therapies. Please contact your insurance company to determine if you are covered.

**ICBC acupuncture treatment fees are completely covered by the ICBC.
