Frequently Asked Questions
A few things clients often ask.
Is RMT covered by insurance?
Yes. Registered massage therapy is covered by many extended health plans, and we offer direct billing to many insurance companies. Coverage and direct billing vary by provider, so please check with us to confirm we can bill your plan directly. Either way, we will always give you a receipt you can submit yourself.
What should I expect at my first visit?
Your therapist will start by going over your health history, concerns and goals, then plan the treatment around you. You are always in control of the pressure and your comfort.
How often should I come in?
It depends on what you need. Some people come regularly for maintenance and stress relief, while others book a short series to work through an injury or a specific problem. Your therapist will suggest what makes sense for you.
Can massage therapy help with headaches or TMJ?
Yes. Targeted massage can ease tension headaches and jaw discomfort (TMJ), along with the neck and shoulder tension that often contributes to them.
Do you offer prenatal or recovery-focused massage?
Yes. Our therapists tailor treatment for pregnancy comfort, injury recovery and rehabilitation. Just let us know what you need when you book.
