Hey, below you will find some questions that I hear quite often about massage therapy. Take a look if you have any questions or are just curious about the modality…

*Please note that these may have Ontario-based specifics (for those of you reading from elsewhere in the world).

• Are all massages just for relaxation?

No. You may request a massage treatment specifically for relaxation, but a large number of RMT treatments are more therapy based. Most massage therapy treatments will have some relaxation components in them, but that doesn’t have to be the main focus. Treatment plans are a combination of what you, the client, want and any suggestions your therapist feels are appropriate in your specific situation.

• Is massage therapy painful?
