Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) are primary health care providers.

Massage therapy in BC has been a regulated health care profession since 1946 and is legislated by the government under the BC Health Profession Act.

A common misconception is that massage therapists provide only “hands on” therapy. Your RMT is trained in rehabilitative exercise such as hydrotherapy, stretching, strengthening, and postural exercises.
