If you’re dealing with muscle tension, back pain, stress, or recovering from an injury, massage therapy can help restore movement, reduce pain, and improve your overall well-being.

At Physio District, our Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) provide evidence-based massage treatments tailored to your needs. Whether you're seeking relief from chronic pain or simply want to relax and reset, we create a personalized treatment plan designed to help you feel better faster.

What Is Massage Therapy?

Massage therapy is a hands-on treatment that focuses on the muscles, connective tissues, tendons, and ligaments of the body. By applying controlled pressure and specific techniques, massage therapy helps:

• Reduce muscle tension and tightness
• Improve circulation
• Decrease inflammation
• Enhance flexibility and mobility
• Support injury recovery
• Lower stress levels

Unlike spa massage, therapeutic massage therapy is goal-oriented and designed to address specific pain points or conditions.

Conditions We Commonly Treat With Massage Therapy

Our Registered Massage Therapists commonly treat:

• Chronic back pain
• Neck and shoulder pain
• Sciatica
• Sports injuries
• Tendonitis
• Plantar fasciitis
• TMJ dysfunction
• Postural strain
• Repetitive strain injuries (RSI)
• Pregnancy-related discomfort

If you’re unsure whether massage therapy is right for you, we’re happy to assess your condition and guide you.

Additional Services

Facial Stretching

(FST) is a table-based, therapist-assisted stretching system that focuses on the body’s connective tissue rather than just muscle. Unlike typical stretching that isolates one muscle, FST works on entire chains of fascia that often become tight from stress, training, injury or posture.

What to Expect During Your Massage Therapy Appointment

During your first visit:

1. Your therapist will review your health history.
2. We will discuss your symptoms and treatment goals.
3. A targeted treatment plan will be created.
4. Pressure and techniques will be adjusted to your comfort level.

Sessions typically last 45, or 60 minutes depending on your needs.

Is Massage Therapy Covered by Insurance?

Massage therapy provided by a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) is covered by most extended health benefit plans in BC. We can provide receipts for insurance reimbursement.

• Acute or chronic injuries (sprains, strains, post-surgery recovery)
• Joint pain (shoulder, knee, hip, back, neck)
• Sports injuries
• Limited mobility or weakness
• Ongoing rehabilitation and corrective exercise
  

Registered Massage Therapy (RMT)

Still Not Sure?

If you’re recovering from an injury or experiencing persistent pain that affects movement, physiotherapy may be the better starting point.
