Therapy for Families
At Strawberries and Sunshine, we are dedicated to working together to ensure the whole family receives the care that they need. Registered massage therapy is one of the exceptional therapies we provide at our centre in Port Coquitlam.
Registered massage therapy involves hands-on, physical techniques that support injury recovery, pain relief, and relaxation through manual manipulation of soft tissues such as muscles, connective tissues, tendons, ligaments, and joints.
Our registered massage therapists (RMTs) are licensed with the provincial College of Massage Therapists (CMTBC). They have completed a multi-year program, studying the anatomy of the body, testing and examination techniques, and treatment planning for various conditions. Most extended health insurance plans will cover registered massage therapy.
Our RMTs provide therapeutic massage that involves assessment, hands-on techniques, and home support suggestions such as exercise and stretches to help families from all walks of life maintain the best mobility and physical health.
Registered massage therapy has physical health benefits, and also has been shown to have significant mental health benefits as well. Healthy, human touch is vital for survival and well-being.
Registered massage therapy is evidence based, versatile, and deeply healing, and can help alleviate physical and psychological distress. When combined with chiropractic and other therapies offered at Strawberries and Sunshine, our registered massage therapists can be an integral part of your health team.
