You’ll have privacy to prepare. You will be properly draped with sheets at all times. I’ll check in throughout your session to ensure your comfort with pressure, positioning, and techniques. You’re always in control—feel free to ask for adjustments or pause the treatment at any time.

You’ll receive simple, personalized recommendations to help extend the benefits of your session—such as gentle stretches, hydration, and relaxation practices to support muscle and joint recovery and overall well-being.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Help?

Registered Massage Therapy is offered at Heart Lotus Health clinic only.

The frequency of massage therapy depends on several factors, including the nature of your discomfort, whether you’re dealing with an acute or chronic condition, and your personal wellness goals.

Some people visit a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) as needed, simply to enjoy the benefits of relaxation. If relaxation is your primary goal, I recommend a full-body massage at least once per season, though monthly sessions may be more beneficial depending on your lifestyle and stress levels.

For specific concerns, such as a minor muscle strain, you may need 3-4 treatments, along with home care instructions to support your recovery. In other cases, more frequent sessions may be required, especially for chronic or complex conditions.

Massage therapy treatment plans are highly individualized—your care will always be tailored to your unique needs and goals, with regular reassessments to ensure the best possible outcomes. Referrals to other healthcare providers are offered to complement your RMT treatment plan.

Massage is not covered by OHIP. Many Extended Health Plans, however, cover treatment from a Registered Massage Therapist.

Insurance receipts are issued for RMT sessions.

A Registered Massage Therapy session can be done with clothing on. During a massage the body is always covered with a sheet except for the part that is being massaged. A separate written consent by you must be provided for upper chest, breast, gluteal and upper inner thigh.

Massage therapy is a regulated health profession all across Canada, and Massage Therapists (MT) or Registered Massage Therapists (RMT) have exclusive rights to these titles.

In Ontario, Registered Massage Therapists are governed by College of Massage Therapists of Ontario (CMTO), receiving its authority from the Regulated Health Practitioners Association Act 1991 (RHPA), and the Massage Therapy Act 1991.

Registered Massage Therapists complete a 2 or 3 year diploma program from an approved massage therapy school. My RMT program at Sutherland-Chan included 2200 hours of training in the areas of anatomy, physiology, pathology, neurology, clinical massage, clinical theory, hydrotherapy, remedial exercise and nutrition.

Registered Massage Therapists in the province of Ontario participate in a Quality Assurance Program through the CMTO that assists them in the maintenance of high professional standards and quality care of their clients.
