RW Massage Therapy

As per the recommendations from the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario, RW Massage Therapy is temporarily suspending services. Unfortunately, at this time, there is no suggestion for when business can resume. If I have had to cancel your appointment, I will be in touch to reschedule once the College or government has said it is safe to do so. I apologize for any inconvenience. Please stay safe and healthy.

COVID - 19 Update At RW Massage Therapy the health of our clients and practitioners is very important to us. We want to assure you about our standards of practice generally, and including while COVID-19 is a factor. We continue to follow the guidelines laid out by the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario as well as Infection Prevention and Control Canada. Between each client, we continue to take the following steps:... - Frequent surface cleaning (door knobs, light switches, desktops, bathrooms) - Thorough hand washing before/after each client - Sanitize face cushion, hand cradle, stool and lotion bottle after every client/practitioner contact ***If you are experiencing any symptoms, including those of a regular head cold or the flu, or have traveled to international destinations within the last 14 days, we kindly ask that you reschedule your appointment. For now, we will waive our late cancellation policy. However, we ask that you give us as much advance notice as possible so we can open the spot for others. Cancelling an appointment can be done using your appointment confirmation or reminder email, or by contacting me directly via text message at 647-654-9257 or via email at [email protected]. If you wish to phone and leave a message, please be aware that I may not pick up your message right away. As of the time of this email, I will be continuing to work, so if you have an appointment scheduled, I will be in the office. If things change and I am no longer going to be at work, I will be in touch to reschedule your appointment based on chronological order, so please be patient. For more information and facts, please visit: www.canada.ca/coronavirus My vacation has been cancelled! As some of you know, I was really looking forward to going to Mexico next week. Due to the suggestions of the government to avoid all non-essential travel, the difficult but necessary decision was made to cancel the trip. This means that I will be opening up my schedule for next week to take appointments. Because the information on this virus is changing almost hourly, I can barely keep up myself, but I will do my best to notify you if there are changes to your appointments or my schedule. Please stay safe, wash your hands and check in with those who may be more vulnerable or are alone. We can get through this! Sincerely, Rebecca Wilkinson, RMT, CDT

Today is World Lymphedema Day! For those that may not know, Lymphedema is a chronic swelling condition. In North America, this condition is most often associated with cancer treatment, but can have other causes as well. Unfortunately, it is not a well known condition outside of the cancer world and many people go undiagnosed, being told they just have to live with the swelling, there is nothing that can be done. This is very FALSE! There are many ways to manage this con...dition that do not involve medications or invasive procedures. If you know anyone who may have a chronic swelling condition, please let them know there is something they can do! https://www.lymphontario.ca/ https://rwmassagetherapy.ca/
