Big news!

We did it! Legislation was introduced today by the Saskatchewan Government to regulate massage therapy in our province!

MTAS has been advocating for legislation to protect the integrity of our industry and the public since 1995!

Saskatchewan will be joining five other provinces as a member of the Federation of Massage Therapy Regulatory Authorities of Canada to promote consistency and excellence in massage therapy across Canada.

There is still a ways to go as we consult on the specific regulations and processes.

But the news is an historic step forward and exciting news for members and the entire public!

More to come :).

Hey there!

Please take some time to read about the changes that have been put into place at my home-based clinic due to the Covid- 19 pandemic.

Mandatory Actions:

 Massage Therapists will follow directives of Public Health Officials
 Screening questions before each treatment
 No services will be preformed on ill or symptomatic clients
 Environmental cleaning and disinfecting guidelines are being followed which includes using products that are effective against the Covid-19 virus
 Hand sanitizer/hand washing facilities will be available for use upon entry and upon leaving the home-based clinic
 Maintaining physical distancing in the time that treatment is not being conducted while the client is at the home-based clinic
 Enhanced cleaning and disinfection of all contact areas between each client
 Personal Protective Equipment- I will always be using a disposable mask, protective eyewear, and an apron that will be changed between each client
 Self- monitor for symptoms and use of the self- assessment tool at Saskatchewan.ca/COVID19
 Stay at home if you are sick (therapist and clients)

A few extra notes:
 My regular hand washing routine will continue as it always has which includes washing my hands and arms up to my elbows for 30 seconds with soap and warm water before the treatment begins and when it ends.
 If you arrive early please wait in your car, or outside, until just a few minutes before your scheduled appointment time. There will be a sign on the exterior door with some extra information that you will have to read before entering.
 If you have a face mask please wear it as you enter my home-based business, throughout the treatment and upon leaving the premises. If you don't have a face mask, I will be providing disposable masks free of charge for each client, but please look into purchasing a mask for future appointments.
 Upon entering please use the hand sanitizer provided and I will direct you straight to the treatment room (unless you must use the washroom!) All discussions will be conducted in the treatment room to limit time spent in the area that my family uses.
 Post treatment/self care discussion will take place in the treatment room on rainy days and outside on nice ones.
 All receipts will be emailed.
 If possible, payment by e- transfer is preferred. The other payment option is cash.

I thank you in advance for taking the time to read through this information and appreciate you booking in during this challenging time. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call me. See you soon!

Hello everyone,

As many of you have probably already heard, RMT's are permitted to return to work on May 19th. Within the next few days I will have my online schedule ready for you to book in (borealismt.com or via facebook business page) or feel free to give me a call or text. I will keep you updated on any changes that might occur from now until the 19th. Here is the link for info on the Sask Governments regulations on returning to work pertaining to PPE/cleaning and disinfecting/general information in which I will be following:

I look forward to seeing your friendly faces soon!

Great news announced by the provincial government today that massage therapy can resume in Saskatchewan starting May 19th!

Let your clients know you can accept bookings as of May 19.

However, we have to be smart about this. As Premier Moe said, “you don’t want to be that business”.

Let’s keep the curve flat:

1. Do not treat clients until May 19th
2. Watch for updates from us on new protocols that will be required of our profession to reduce the risk of COVID-19 spread (they are currently being developed)

Stay strong everyone. We can begin helping people again very soon.

Hello! I hope that everyone is doing well during these times.

Many of you have most likely heard that Registered Massage Therapy clinics have fallen under the category of mandatory shut down until further notice set forth by the Saskatchewan government. I will keep you all posted as to when things have changed and when I will be able to start business again. This is a time of uncertainty, but I hope to see you sooner than later. Be safe.

If anyone needs any advice pertaining to self care please give me a shout and we can go through what you need over the phone or we can do a messanger video chat. Even if you don't need help with your self care feel free to call me at anytime for support on the socialization aspect of things!!

Take care.

Once you realize that fascia acts as a giant mechanoreceptor, you can begin to see why it is so important in addressing chronic pain.
