Registered Massage Therapy in Vancouver
Relief That Lasts Beyond the Session
Hands-on therapy designed to reduce pain, calm the nervous system, and restore how your body moves and feels.
Whether you’re recovering from a sports injury, dealing with chronic pain, or simply need to unwind, Registered Massage Therapy can help you feel better in a real and lasting way. Our experienced RMTs work with you to ease muscle tension, improve mobility, and reduce stress — helping your body function the way it’s meant to. We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Every session is customized to your needs, with techniques and pressure levels tailored to how your body responds.
Massage therapy works by increasing circulation, releasing tight or stuck tissue, and calming the nervous system. This helps reduce pain, support healing, and restore balance. Using their hands, forearms, or elbows, your RMT will work with your body to release restrictions and support areas that feel tense, sore, or overworked. It’s a hands-on therapy that focuses not just on muscles — but on how everything in your body connects and moves.
From your first visit, we make it a priority to listen. Your RMT will assess your concerns and adjust their approach based on your comfort, feedback, and goals. Whether you need deep tissue work or something more gentle, we’ll adapt the session to match what works best for you. Located in the heart of East Vancouver on Commercial Drive, our clinic is easy to get to — and w0e’re here when you need care that feels personal and effective.

What Our Patients Say
Frequently Asked Questions
For any questions or inquiries, feel free to call us or schedule an appointment.
How is an RMT different from a regular massage therapist?
In British Columbia, a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) is a licensed healthcare provider. RMTs complete rigorous training in anatomy, physiology, pathology, and hands-on treatment techniques. They’re regulated by the College of Massage Therapists of BC (CMTBC), which ensures safe and effective care. This is different from spa or relaxation massage, which doesn’t require formal licensing.
Can RMTs treat injuries from car accidents (ICBC claims)?
Yes, Registered Massage Therapy is commonly used to support recovery after car accidents. Many clients experience soft tissue injuries, neck or back pain, or limited movement following a collision. Our RMTs use techniques that help release tension, reduce inflammation, and encourage healing. If you’re working with ICBC, we can guide you through what to expect during treatment — and how massage therapy can play a role in your recovery plan.
How often should I get massage therapy for chronic pain or posture issues?
It depends on your condition, how your body responds to treatment, and your personal goals. Some people benefit from weekly sessions at first, especially when managing long-term pain or postural strain. Others may come in every few weeks for maintenance and support. During your first visit, your RMT will assess your needs and suggest a treatment plan that works for your body and schedule.
Is massage therapy safe during pregnancy?
Yes, massage therapy is safe and beneficial during pregnancy when performed by a trained professional. Our RMTs use prenatal techniques that support your comfort and safety at every stage. Massage can help reduce swelling, ease back and hip pain, and improve sleep and relaxation. We take care to adjust positioning and pressure to ensure both you and your baby are well-supported.
Where is your clinic located and how do I get there?
We’re located on Commercial Drive in East Vancouver, easily accessible by car or SkyTrain. Whether you’re coming from downtown or nearby neighborhoods, you’ll find convenient transit and parking options close by — making it easy to get the care you need without added stress.
