Registered Massage Therapists in British Columbia – About Massage Therapy

Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) in British Columbia are health care professionals committed to restoring and maintaining optimal health and pain-free function of the body.

Massage is effective professional health care that provides a drug-free approach to pain management and rehabilitation. It is widely understood that massage therapy decreases stress and helps control pain. It is also effective in treating deeper structures and in providing relief for many common conditions such as:

* migraine and tension headaches
* tendonitis
* arthritis
* chronic neck and shoulder strain
* sports injuries
* carpal tunnel syndrome
* whiplash
* digestive disorders

RMTs in B.C. are trained in the assessment and diagnosis of soft tissue and joints of the body, and the treatment and prevention of injury, pain and physical disorders. RMTs are dedicated to treating your symptoms of pain and dysfunction, including the underlying causes.

Your RMT is committed to providing the very best in one-on-one patient care.

A significant rise in massage therapy use in BC can be attributed to higher educational standards, extensive research studies proving the efficacy of massage therapy, and an overall increase in public interest in non-surgical and drug-free treatment options. In British Columbia , over 75 percent of medical physicians regularly refer their patients to a Registered Massage Therapist.

FACT: A survey of nearly 2000 BC massage therapy patients showed that:

* 77% believed that massage therapy was highly effective
* 95% thought the treatments improved their conditions
* 49% said massage therapy let them stop or reduce drug or medical treatment

The most current research suggests that there is a direct link between our physical well-being and our mental or emotional state, which can be positively affected by massage therapy. Research also supports the use of massage therapy as an effective approach in injury management and rehabilitation, as well as part of a preventative care program.
