The science behind massage shows it activates the body’s parasympathetic system, which shifts the body from stress mode into recovery mode. It increases blood flow, lowers cortisol, and triggers endorphin release. These physiological effects explain why massage promotes both relaxation and healing.

Desk workers often benefit from massage because it targets common tension areas like the shoulders, neck, and lower back. Hours of sitting can restrict circulation and lead to chronic stiffness, which massage helps release. It also boosts mental clarity, helping people
stay productive and focused throughout the workday. Set a timer for every 30 minutes to walk around and drink a glass of water for hydration.

A Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) is a regulated health professional who has completed formal training and is licensed to provide therapeutic massage treatments for health and wellness purposes.

Education & Training

In Ontario (and most Canadian provinces that regulate massage therapy), an RMT must complete 2–3 years of college-level education in anatomy, physiology, pathology, kinesiology, and hands-on massage techniques.

They also train in patient assessment, clinical reasoning, and treatment planning.

Licensing & Regulation

After schooling, they must pass written and practical exams with their provincial regulatory body (for example, in Ontario it’s the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario – CMTO).

Only those who pass and register with the college can legally call themselves “Registered Massage Therapist (RMT).”

Scope of Practice

RMTs treat clients for issues such as muscle pain, injuries, postural strain, stress, pregnancy-related discomfort, and rehabilitation.

They use techniques like Swedish massage, deep tissue, trigger point therapy, and joint mobilizations.

Treatments are therapeutic and medically recognized (not spa-style relaxation massage, though RMTs can provide relaxation-focused treatments too).

Insurance & Professional Standards

RMT treatments are often covered by extended health insurance.

They must follow strict standards of practice, ethics, and ongoing education requirements.

They issue official receipts that clients can submit for insurance reimbursement.

👉 In short: An RMT is a healthcare professional trained to assess and treat soft tissue and musculoskeletal conditions, working under a regulated license to ensure safe, effective, and professional care.

Cranial sacral therapy focuses on gently unwinding tensions in the skull and spine by applying light touch to release restrictions in the craniosacral system. This subtle approach can help improve the flow of cerebrospinal fluid and promote overall relaxation. People often report reduced headaches, improved sleep, and a greater sense of calm after a session.
