The RMT: registered massage therapy

Good to know

Registration

Our RMTs are registered with the College of Complementary Health Professionals of BC (CCHPBC, formerly the College of Massage Therapists of BC).

Direct billing

We bill these insurers directly: Pacific Blue Cross, Manulife, Sun Life, Canada Life, Blue Cross, ClaimSecure, Chambers of Commerce Group Insurance, Desjardins, Empire Life, Equitable Life, Johnston Group, Industrial Alliance, Green Shield Canada.

How direct billing works, what to bring and what you pay.

ICBC & WorkSafeBC

ICBC claims for motor-vehicle injuries are accepted and billed directly at all three studios, with no out-of-pocket payment at the time of your visit. Our therapists provide CCHPBC-standard clinical documentation that meets ICBC’s reporting requirements, and WorkSafeBC claims can be supported with the same documentation.

Referral

No doctor’s referral is needed to book an RMT in BC. Some insurance plans ask for one before they reimburse, so check your plan first.

What it treats

• Neck, shoulder and upper-back tension from desk work
• Lower-back pain
• Sports injuries and training recovery
• Repetitive strain from work or training
• Prenatal and postpartum discomfort
• Soft-tissue injuries from a motor-vehicle accident, under ICBC

What to expect

Wear comfortable clothing. There are no showers, so after an oil treatment we wipe you down with hot towels.
