Conditions treated
Registered Massage Therapy at Alliance
Registered massage therapy manipulates and treats the soft tissues of the body — muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia — to normalize tissue through manual pressure and movement. It affects circulation and lymph flow, reduces muscular tension, works with the nervous system, and supports tissue healing. Our RMTs have particular experience with sports injuries, pregnancy massage, postural strain, repetitive use injuries, and motor vehicle injuries.

What to expect
An RMT appointment includes time to discuss your health history, goals and the areas you would like assessed. Your therapist can explain the proposed approach, positioning and draping, and obtain your consent before treatment. You can ask questions, request changes or stop treatment.
Getting ready
Let your therapist know about injuries, operations, medications and any positioning or comfort preferences. Consider a specific goal for the session, such as addressing an area of tension or supporting comfortable movement.

Your registered massage therapy questions
How do I choose an RMT in Vancouver at Alliance?
Browse our registered massage therapy team above, read a practitioner’s profile and open their individual Jane booking page. Choose an appointment length and type that suit your needs, or ask reception for guidance.
What happens at my first massage therapy appointment?
Your RMT will discuss your health history and goals, assess as appropriate and explain the proposed treatment. Time for assessment and discussion is part of the appointment.
Can I ask for a different pressure or position?
Yes. Tell your RMT what feels comfortable, ask about alternatives and request changes during the session. You can pause or stop treatment at any time.
Is registered massage different from intern massage?
The directory lists registered massage therapists and intern massage separately. Confirm the practitioner’s status, appointment type and insurance eligibility before booking; do not assume intern appointments have the same coverage.
What appointment length should I book for massage therapy?
Available appointment lengths are listed on the practitioner’s Jane page. If this is your first visit or you have several concerns, ask reception which option to select before booking.
How long is an appointment and what does it cost?
Appointment lengths and fees vary by practitioner and appointment type. Check your selected appointment on Jane or ask reception for the current fee and length before confirming. No single clinic-wide price applies to every service.
Do I need a referral to book?
Ask reception about requirements for your selected appointment. Your insurer or funding program may have separate referral or documentation rules, so confirm those before your visit.
Is direct billing available for this appointment?
Direct billing depends on the service, practitioner, insurer and your plan. Ask reception to confirm your specific arrangement; you may be responsible for any amount your plan does not pay.
