Tara Ferguson RMT

An update for my clients, As you may have heard, RMTs are now able to gradually restart massage therapy services. This does not mean that all RMTs will be returning to full practice immediately, and before I return to practice, I will have to make changes to my practice so that I can follow all guidance from my regulator, the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario as well as from the Ministry of Health. ... This includes obtaining adequate personal protective equipment (PPE), adequate cleaning and disinfecting supplies, and changes to my physical practice space and my regular procedures. Many clients have told me how much they miss their massage therapy treatments, and I have missed my clients as well. However, my priority will always be keeping you safe. I will continue to prepare so that once I do reopen, I will be able to provide you with the health care you need as safely as possible. Once I am prepared to reopen, I will be prioritizing those that have urgent needs, and will keep my reopening gradual and measured to make it the safest transition possible. My online booking system has been temporarily closed as I will be trying to make room for those whos appointments were cancelled due to Covid-19. Once I have made room for those clients I will then be moving onto my wait list. If you wish to be placed on my list please let me know. I appreciate your support and understanding during this unprecedented time. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, want some self-care tips, or just want to touch base, I am available at [email protected] or 613-936-6984 As I continue to prepare for an eventual reopening, I will be keeping you up-to-date with information about a potential reopening date, and once I reopen, I will ensure you are aware of all new policies and procedures. I look forward to welcoming you back to my practice as soon as I can do so as safely as possible!

Just a little preview of what to expect when the times comes for me to open! Thank you so much for your patience and understanding during this time

Yes I will be reopening my practice but in time! We have been given the go ahead to resume massage treatments slowly. This was a complete surprise to many as we only... found out after it was announced to the public late last night. Myself, along with many other Ontario RMTs are feeling that this is very sudden. I will be starting back, but only when I feel that I am ready to do so. There are many new steps and safety procedures to be made before I am able open my practice. Things will look very different for a while. We are required to use a significant amount of PPE and I am finding this difficult since front line workers are still struggling for supplies. I am so anxious to start back but I need to make sure it is done in the safest way possible. You are the reason I love my career and I cant wait to see all of my clients again. I understand the importance of massage therapy treatment to your health and well-being and I am working daily on getting more prepared. Once I feel that I am ready to open, I will be keeping everyone posted and those who have been in touch will be contacted.

One day a year isn’t enough to celebrate motherhood and everything our moms do for us. To all the moms out there Happy Mother’s Day!

Currently, our regulatory college, the CMTO is working with other health regulators, and the Government of Ontario, to evaluate our operations and systems to develop guidelines to ensure we can provide safe care once we are allowed to reopen. This will include changes in sanitation and hygiene protocols as well as the implementation of screening guidelines. As we sit and wait, massage therapists are evaluating the level of risk associated with the return to practice. Some may... be worried about their health, or spreading the virus to a family member, or client that may be high risk. Others may be concerned about availability of PPE. Each therapist will view the level of risk differently for their personal and professional situation. As well, every therapists timeline to return to practice will vary . We are all navigating unfamiliar circumstances. As for myself... I will be reopening my practice. I am still completely unsure as to when this will happen. While I wait for word from our government and regulatory body I will be doing my own risk-assessment by reviewing new information as it comes through. I am excited to get back to doing what I love and helping my clients feel better. However, I must also carefully examine whether the benefits of returning to practice once permitted outweigh the personal and professional risks. I truly miss each and every one of you and I really hope we can all safely get back to business as soon as possible. If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me. I would love to hear from you! Enjoy the long weekend

To my valued clients, On March 16th , all Ontario RMTs received notice that we should suspend non essentialtreatments at this time due to the rapidly changing status of Covid-19. Given that massage therapy is not an essential service, I have stopped my massage therapy practice until further notice. My online booking system has also been suspended until further notice. ... This decision did not come easily as I know many of you rely on my treatments and I truly enjoy working with each and every one of you. The health and safety of my clients is my number one priority therefore this is the best decision for the time being. I will continue to keep you posted via Facebook and email as to when I will be reopening as I am currently unsure how long this will take. May you stay healthy, safe and calm in a time that can be filled with fear. Best, Tara Ferguson, RMT

There is no question that massage can help us feel relaxed and refreshed. But how can you prolong the effects so that they can last for days or even weeks afterwards? Here are some tips! Hydrate - in order to maintain proper function your cells, organs and muscles need to stay hydrated. You should drink plenty of water especially within the first 24 hours after your massage. Stretch - increase blood flow to your muscles and give them the nourishment that they need. Stretchi...ng frequently keeps your muscles from getting tight which will allow you to maintain proper posture. Eat Healthy - eat healthy foods that are high in nutrients such as proteins, fruits and veggies. This helps to fuel your body and aids in recovery from muscular stress and strains. Schedule your next massage - although the effects of massage can be prolonged, they will not be permanent. Get massages regularly to help stay stress free.
