Though wisdom is good in the beginning, it is better at the end.

How often should I get massage?
Some people believe that one treatment is enough; however, massage therapy is most beneficial in acute conditions when used over a series of treatments and then followed up with maintenance or preventive treatments.

Through mutual discussion, your Massage Therapist can help you establish a program which fits your physical needs and lifestyle. Your Massage Therapist is most interested in your recovery and in the maintenance of your health. Any recommendation for further treatment is being made by a qualified health professional and is made with your utmost care in mind.

First Visit:
On the first visit you will complete a confidential health history as part of your assessment. This is important as the Massage Therapist needs to know if you have any medical conditions or are taking any medications. The Massage Therapist will listen to your concerns, assess your individual needs as well as other factors that may be contributing to your injury (lifestyle, nutritional status, etc.). The Massage Therapist will then develop a treatment plan with you to ensure you receive appropriate treatment that will help you return, as much as possible, to your normal activities. Arrive 10 to 15 min. early as not to interupt treatment time.

 

Massage Therapy Treatment
Massage therapy is a hands-on manipulation of the soft tissues of the body and people seek out this form of treatment for many different reasons. Some choose it to relieve pain, help improve the condition and function of their body or warm up before a sporting event while others just want to relax and reduce stress.

 

 

Why do Massage Therapists charge GST?

In Canada, before a health profession can be exempted from charging GST (the federal Goods & Services Tax), the profession must be regulated in a minimum of five (5) provinces. Massage Therapists are a regulated health profession currently in only three (3) Provinces, Ontario, Newfoundland and British Columbia. Legislation is in progress in several other provinces at various stages. These include Alberta, Manitoba and Nova Scotia.

The OMTA, in concert with its national alliance, the Canadian Massage Therapist Alliance, is working to ensure that Massage Therapists become regulated in other provinces and will be asking the Canadian Government to allow the exemption as soon as possible.

In the meantime, most Massage Therapists are a registered business and in Ontario, are required to obtain a GST number and charge GST.
