Question 1

Do I need a doctor's referral for massage therapy?

Accepted Answer

No referral is required to book a massage therapy appointment, though your insurance provider may ask for one for reimbursement purposes. Check your plan for details.

Question 2

How firm or deep will the massage be?

Accepted Answer

Pressure is adjusted to your comfort and goals. Let your RMT know during your consultation and at any point in the session if you would like the pressure adjusted.

Question 3

Can massage therapy help with sports recovery, not just relaxation?

Accepted Answer

Question 4

Will I receive a receipt for insurance?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you will receive a receipt after your appointment that you can submit to your extended health provider. Coverage and eligibility can vary, so confirm your plan details with your insurer.

Question 5

How often should I book massage therapy?

Accepted Answer

This depends on your goals, whether you are managing an ongoing concern or booking for general relaxation. Your RMT can recommend a frequency after your first visit.

Question 6

Is massage therapy safe during pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

General massage sessions can sometimes be adapted for pregnancy-related comfort, though we also offer a dedicated pregnancy massage service with positioning suited to expecting mothers. Your RMT will assess what is appropriate for you.
