COVID 19 & Massage Therapy Update On Wednesday, May 27th the Ontario Government and the Ontario Chief Medical Officer of Health have provided a new directive f...or Regulated Health Professionals that allow for a gradual restart of services to be carried out with adherence to guidance from each health profession’s regulatory college. The directive includes Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) under the guidance of our College of Massage Therapists of Ontario (CMTO). The CMTO has encouraged RMT’s to limit the number of in-person visits by prioritizing clients with essential care needs. Our first priority as Massage Therapists is to the health and safety of ourselves, our families and our clients and to ensure that the benefits of treatment outweigh the risks. I will update clients further when I set a reopening date. We have just begun to receive direction on practices and procedure guidelines that will need to be put in place before I open safely. These include, but are not limited to, the pre-screening of clients before every treatment, increased frequency of handwashing & cleaning practices, increased signage, documentation and record keeping of practices, the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) such as face masks for myself and clients and additional health & safety training. Thank you again for all of your support during this time. I hope everyone remains safe & healthy!

We are excited to let you know that we are able to resume regular chiropractic care!! We have implemented many precautions to protect all of us during this phase of the process.
