Registered Massage Therapy (RMT)
Saanichton Chiropractic Group
Clinical & Evidence-Based Soft Tissue Therapy for Recovery and Performance
At Saanichton Chiropractic Group, our Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) provide more than just relaxation. We offer clinical healthcare aimed at restoring function, reducing chronic pain, and optimizing your body’s physical potential. Whether you are recovering from a sports injury, managing a desk-job strain, or rehabilitating after a motor vehicle accident, our team is here to help.
The RMT Difference at Saanichton Chiropractic
Our RMTs are highly trained healthcare professionals regulated by the College of Massage Therapists of British Columbia (CMTBC). Unlike a spa-style massage, our treatments are assessment-based.

What to Expect
Every RMT session begins with a brief assessment of your range of motion and health history. Your therapist will then use a combination of manual techniques—such as Swedish massage, active stretching, or deep tissue work—specifically chosen for your condition. You will leave with "home care" stretches to maintain your progress.

Massage therapy is beneficial for muscle tension, sports injuries, chronic pain, postural problems, and stress relief. It's also effective for improving circulation and speeding recovery after chiropractic treatment.
How long is a typical massage therapy session?
Sessions typically range from 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your needs and the type of massage recommended. Your therapist can customize the length based on the areas being treated and your goals.
Is massage therapy covered by insurance?
Many extended health insurance plans cover registered massage therapy. We offer direct billing for covered services. Check your policy or contact us to verify your coverage limits.
Can I book a massage without seeing a chiropractor?
