What people come in for
Registered massage therapy sits comfortably in two different places: clinical work alongside a rehabilitation plan, and straightforward relief from the load that daily life puts on your body. Both are valid reasons to book.
- Alongside rehab — soft-tissue work supporting recovery from whiplash, muscle strains, sports injuries and post-surgical rehabilitation
- Persistent tension — neck and shoulder tightness from desk work, low back pain, tension headaches
- Training and recovery — managing load through a season, or easing the aftermath of a hard block
- Pregnancy and postpartum — prenatal massage with positioning adapted to your stage, often alongside care for pregnancy-related back and pelvic pain
Finding the right therapist and pressure
A deep bench of registered massage therapists is genuinely useful, because style and pressure are personal. Some people want firm, focused clinical work on one area; others need something slower and calmer across the whole body. Tell us what you are after when you book, and if the fit is not right, say so — matching you with a different therapist is a normal request, not an awkward one.
Every therapist here is registered, and treatment is adapted to what your body tolerates on the day rather than to a fixed routine.
Common questions
Do I need a referral for massage therapy?
Not to book with us. Registered massage therapy is direct-access in BC. Some extended health plans ask for a doctor's note before they will reimburse, so check the terms of your own plan if you plan to claim.
Is a registered massage therapist different from a spa massage?
Yes. Registered massage therapists train in anatomy, assessment and clinical treatment, and their work can be claimed through extended health plans and, where eligible, through ICBC. A spa massage is a relaxation service and is generally not claimable.
Should massage hurt to work?
No. Deeper work can feel intense in a way people often describe as productive, but pain you are bracing against is a signal to ease off, not a sign of progress. Pressure is adjusted throughout — speak up and it changes.
Is massage covered by ICBC or WorkSafeBC?
After a crash, ICBC's Enhanced Care coverage pre-approves registered massage therapy sessions in your first 12 weeks. WorkSafeBC is different: physiotherapy is what we direct bill to WSBC, and massage therapy needs its own separate approval from WorkSafeBC before it can be covered on a claim. How coverage works for each service.
Direct billing: we submit the claim for you, but your insurer decides what it pays. We can bill your plan, though we cannot look up your coverage, limits or deductibles — and anything your insurer does not cover is payable at your visit. How direct billing works →
