Massage therapy in Big Lakes County

Short answer

Massage therapy is a regulated health profession in several provinces, including Ontario, British Columbia and Newfoundland and Labrador. If you plan to claim a session through workplace benefits, check that the therapist is registered where your plan requires it and ask for a receipt with their registration number.

What you can ask for

• Relaxation massage
• Deep tissue massage
• Prenatal massage
• Sports massage

What to expect

• A registered therapist will usually ask about your health history and consent before the first treatment.
• You can tell the therapist to change pressure or stop at any time.
• Draping practices keep you covered except for the area being worked on.

Choosing a professional

• Check what your benefits plan accepts before you book if you want reimbursement.
• Ask about the therapist's experience with your specific goal, such as sports recovery or prenatal care.

This is a regulated health service in at least some provinces. Check the professional's registration with the regulator in Alberta where one exists.
