Moving forward after Covid-19
The new reality of health care appointments:
Please note that the new measures put in place are for your own health and safety as well as that of other patients and healthcare providers:
Screening will take place 24hours before your appointment, and then again when you arrive before your treatment begins. Please read your appointment reminder email, read the screening questions carefully and only confirm your appointment by return email if you do not have any of the signs or symptoms of covid-19 listed, you are feeling well, have not been travelling, waiting for test results or been in contact with anyone that has tested positive for covid-19. If you do not meet the requirements, your appointment will be re-scheduled at no cost to you.
Please bring a mask to wear during your treatment.
Please wait in your car until your appointment time to avoid any unnecessary contact
Please wash your hands with soap and water in the bathroom to the left of the entry immediately upon entering the building
I will be wearing a mask at all times during treatment and will make sure the office and treatment room have been fully sanitized before your arrival. Receipts will no longer be paper, but will be emailed to you instead.
Any concerns or questions, please feel free to contact me.

Why Massage
Massage therapy melts away stress and tension, relieving associated headaches and muscular aches & pains. By encouraging the body's own healing processes to act, massage therapy reduces injury healing time, aids in the healing process from injury or over-use, and is an excellent form of preventive health care. There are many conditions that massage is effective in treating including;
- Back pain and /or general pain management
- Inflammatory conditions such as arthritis and tendinitis
- Stress relief and stress related conditions
- Migraines and headaches
- Muscle and related conditions such as spasms, strains and sprains
- Circulatory and respiratory problems
- Post-injury and post-surgical rehabilitation including sports and other physical injury
- Prenatal and Postnatal care as well as infant massage
- On site sports event care to augment performance and relieve muscle tension
What does it mean to be Registered?
In 1919, the Drug-less Practitioners Act was passed and the Board of Regents was established to regulate massage therapy and other drug-less health professions in Ontario. In 1994 the Regulated Health Profession Act (RHPA) was proclaimed and the Drug-less Practitioners Act was revoked.
A Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) is someone who has completed a college level diploma program, a minimum of 2,200 hours training, and then passed Provincial Board Exams administered by the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario (CMTO). The CMTO regulates the practice of massage therapy and governs in accordance with legislation. It's primary function is to serve and protect public interest. Legislation that governs registered massage therapists includes regulated health professions act (RHPA), Massage Therapy Act (MTA), personal health information protection act (PHIPA), healthcare consent act (HCCA), and the personal information protection and electronic documents act (PIPEDA)
