Massage therapy is an effective and non invasive way to maintain a healthy life style, body and mind.  Many people seek massage for various different reasons.  Some are recovering from an injury from sports, work or play, others lead a stressful lifestyle and have constant tension.  Others have illnesses or conditions that affect their posture, strength, joints and muscles.  No matter the situation, massage can help create optimal movement, alignment and well being. 

Registered massage therapists of BC must first complete the 3,000 hour program at a private college of massage therapy.  Classes include anatomy and physiology, kinesiology, pathology, hydrotherapy, manual skills, medications, amongst others.  Massage therapy is a regulated health profession governed by The College of Massage Therapists of BC.  The college ensures that each year every RMT re-registers, completes the required continuing education credits and is practicing safely and ethically.
