Book a Session What to Expect

What It Is

What you want
from your session.

Tell your RMT what brought you in and how you'd like to feel during the session. You can discuss discomfort, recovery, or relaxation and agree on the areas to focus on.

Your massage therapist is registered in Ontario. They'll explain the recommended treatment and check your consent. You can change the pressure, skip an area, or stop at any time.

Targeted pressure for deeper muscle layers and chronic tension.

Who It Helps

What we
work on.

People book massage therapy for a thousand reasons. At PRT, a handful come up again and again.

Chronic muscle tension

Neck, shoulders, low back, hips. The places life leaves a mark.

Training recovery

Discuss soreness after running, lifting, or an event with your RMT.

Sports injury support

Discuss how massage could fit with your existing rehabilitation plan.

Tension headaches

Neck, jaw, and scalp work for headache management.

Postural strain

Discomfort during desk work, driving, or caring for your family.

Stress & sleep

Tell your RMT if relaxation is your priority.

Pregnancy massage

Safe, comfortable prenatal work with proper positioning.

Post-surgical care

Scar tissue mobilization and recovery support after clearance.

Performance maintenance

Regular work to stay durable and move well between training blocks.

What to Expect

Your
first visit.

For your first visit, book an initial assessment of at least 45 minutes. This includes time to discuss your history and goals before treatment. Choose a follow-up length that suits your needs.

Quick intake

Medical history, what brought you in, areas you want worked on, pressure preferences, and anything you want us to skip.

Assessment

Your RMT may check movement or assess the area that bothers you, then explain what they find.

Treatment

The massage. Communication stays open: pressure, positioning, and technique adjusted in real time.

What to do next

A few home suggestions (stretches, self-care, water), and a plan for follow-up if needed.

The PRT Difference

Support for
your next steps.

If your RMT thinks another practitioner could help, they'll explain why and discuss your options. You decide how you'd like to proceed.

You don't need to be an athlete to book. Everyday comfort and relaxation are valid reasons to come in.

FAQ

Common questions.

Do I need a referral?

No. You can book RMT directly. Some insurance plans require a doctor's note for reimbursement, especially above a certain annual limit. If yours does, we'll help you sort it out.

Is RMT covered by insurance?

Yes. Registered massage therapy is covered by most extended health plans in Canada. Some plans require a doctor's note before they'll reimburse; check your specific plan first so you're not caught paying upfront. We offer direct billing for most major insurers as a courtesy, but direct billing isn't a guarantee the claim will be accepted.

How often should I come in?

It depends on what you're dealing with. For acute pain or injury support, weekly for 3 or 4 sessions is common. For maintenance and recovery, every 2 to 4 weeks is typical. Your RMT will recommend a rhythm that fits your goals.

What should I wear?

Most massage work is done with the area being treated undraped, and the rest of you covered by a sheet at all times. You undress to your comfort level. If you'd rather stay fully clothed, let your RMT know, we can work through clothing.

Does it have to hurt to work?

No. Deep work can be uncomfortable, and some tension release is sharp, but pain is not a required feature of effective treatment. We adjust pressure based on what your tissue actually needs and what you want.

Can I come in if I'm pregnant?

Yes. Prenatal massage is safe and often helpful. We use proper positioning (side-lying with pillows) and techniques adapted for pregnancy.
