What Is Registered Massage Therapy?

It’s Not Just a Massage. It’s Healthcare.

Registered Massage Therapy (RMT) goes beyond relaxation. It’s a regulated healthcare profession in Alberta that focuses on assessing and treating soft tissue injuries, chronic pain, postural imbalances, and stress-related conditions.

Our RMTs at The Self Centre are trained in anatomy, physiology, and clinical techniques that support long-term healing, not just temporary relief.

You’ll receive:

  • A full assessment before treatment
  • A customized massage plan that addresses your goals
  • Therapeutic techniques that promote mobility, circulation, and recovery
  • Advice and follow-up care to keep you feeling your best

Whether you’re an athlete, office worker, or new parent, RMT can help your body function better, so you can feel better.

Our RMTs are trained to assess your body, listen to your concerns, and develop a treatment plan that meets your needs.

Benefits of Seeing a Registered Massage Therapist

When your massage is delivered by a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT), you’re getting evidence-based treatment that targets the root of pain and dysfunction, not just the symptoms.

Here’s what sets RMT apart:

Clinical Knowledge

RMTs complete 2,200+ hours of training in anatomy, physiology, pathology, and treatment planning.

Prenatal Massage

Personalized Treatment Plans

Your therapist works with you to understand your health history and goals, adjusting techniques as needed.

Insurance Coverage

Most extended health plans cover RMT services. We offer direct billing to keep things easy.

Results That Last

Whether you’re managing pain, preventing injury, or just maintaining wellness, RMT sessions offer cumulative benefits over time.

A single massage can help you feel better. But consistent care from a trained RMT? That can change how you move through your life.

What Conditions Can RMTs Treat?

Targeted Support for Pain, Injury, and Everyday Stress

Registered Massage Therapists do more than help you relax; they support recovery, mobility, and function across a range of conditions.

Here are some of the most common reasons clients book with an RMT:

Chronic Pain

Persistent neck, back, or shoulder pain often stems from posture, stress, or repetitive strain. RMTs use techniques that relieve deep-seated tension and restore movement.

Injuries and Rehab

From sports injuries to workplace strain, massage can help speed healing, reduce scar tissue, and get you back to activity faster.

Headaches and Migraines

Tension in the neck, jaw, and shoulders often contributes to headache frequency. Gentle massage and trigger point work can bring real relief.

TMJ Dysfunction

Massaging around the jaw and face muscles can reduce pain and improve range of motion.

Benefits of Prenatal Massage

Prenatal and Postnatal Support

RMTs trained in perinatal massage can help reduce swelling, improve sleep, and ease back pain before and after birth.
You’ll leave feeling lighter, more mobile, and supported, like your body just took a deep breath.

Anxiety and Insomnia

Massage helps lower cortisol levels and increase serotonin and dopamine, supporting better mood and sleep patterns.

What to Expect at Your RMT Appointment

We want your visit to be as stress-free as the treatment itself. Here’s how it works:

1. Quick Intake Process

When you arrive, you’ll fill out a brief health history form. This helps your therapist understand your needs, any injuries, and your wellness goals.

2. Personal Consultation

Your RMT will discuss what you’re hoping to achieve, whether that’s stress relief, injury rehab, or managing chronic tension. We tailor every session to match your goals.

3. Professional, Private Environment

You’ll be guided to a comfortable, quiet room with soft lighting and a heated massage table. You’ll undress to your comfort level and remain properly draped throughout your session.

4. Custom Treatment Plan

Your RMT will use techniques based on your body’s condition and preferences, ranging from light pressure for general wellness to deeper work for specific areas of concern.

5. Post-Treatment Support

After your session, your therapist may suggest stretches, hydration tips, or follow-up treatments based on what your body needs.
No pressure. No rush. Just care that puts your health and comfort first.
