Current Protocols as of May 2023

While mandatory masking has ended, some of our RMTs are still wearing masks. Patients/clients may choose not to wear a mask. Please ask your RMT to wear a mask if you would prefer they do.
RMTs and clients may want to continue masking, based on risk assessment (discussed below).
The Ministry of Health has guidance on personal protective equipment (PPE) for health care workers and health care entities.

Risk assessments continue to be an essential part of providing safe and effective Massage Therapy care.

When conducting a risk assessment, RMTs should consider if:

The client is supposed to be self-isolating at the time of an appointment;
The client is experiencing any symptoms related to COVID-19 at the time of the appointment;
The client is at a higher-risk of negative outcomes from COVID-19;
Risks can be controlled through infection prevention and control (IPAC) measures and PPE; and/or
Deferring in-person treatment might result in negative consequences for the client.

We have a required 24 hour cancellation policy to reschedule or cancel your appointment without a charge/fee added.
