By Nancy Brooks, BMusA, Art.Dip., RMT

When a registered massage therapist lays their hands on you, you know it. The healing power of touch has been proven by study after study. Why do it?

It’s a powerful experience. One in which YOU, the patient are in control. Yes. Many people shy away from using their benefits that they pay for because they fear the unknown.

What if I change my mind about what body part I want to be treated after the treatment has already started?

What if I don’t like the pressure the RMT is using?

What if I’m cold?

What if I don’t care for the music that is playing in the room?

All of these questions have simple answers. The RMT is trained to switch it up immediately. It’s part of the “ informed consent” that is explained to each and every patient, new or returning, that this is YOUR treatment and at any time you have the RIGHT to make requests.
