Registered Massage Therapist (RMT)
In massage therapy, a skilled licensed Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) will assess and manipulate the soft tissues of your body – muscle, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments and skin. Your massage therapist uses varying degrees of pressure and movement throughout the session. One of the initial effects of massage is a sensation of deep relaxation and peace. This occurs because massage encourages the release of endorphins - the brain chemicals (neurotransmitters) that produce sensations of wellbeing.
