What is a Massage Therapist?

The definition of a massage is manual manipulation of the body’s soft tissues (muscle, connective tissue, tendons, and ligaments) which can enhance an individual’s well being. A massage therapist is a person who performs the manual manipulations. This person can be registered or not registered.

Anyone can give a basic massage, but a registered massage therapist is someone who actually went to ongoing training to become certified. This person has paid for tuition and certifications and has done multiple hours of training. They also require to have ongoing registration.

A RMT will give you the peace of mind of having someone who is qualified and trained taking care of your body.

If you need to get further into the tissue or have an injury that needs addressing you might need a sports massage or a deep tissue massage.
