About Massages
In massage therapy, a massage therapist rubs, manipulates, and kneads the soft tissues of your body. The soft tissues include muscle, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments and skin. The massage therapist varies the amount of pressure and movement. Massage is part of integrative medicine and can be used for a wide range of medical conditions. You don't need a doctor's referral to see a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT).
Massages are only eligible for insurance receipts if performed by an RMT for the purpose of treating or preventing pain or dysfunction.
