Our Registered Massage Therapists provide care for muscle tension, discomfort, mobility and physical recovery, as well as relaxation and everyday well-being.
Treatment may include soft tissue work, stretching and mobility techniques suited to your needs, activity and comfort.
Your RMT discusses your goals, areas of concern and preferred pressure before tailoring your appointment.
MASSAGE THERAPY APPROACHES
The following approaches may be used individually or combined, depending on your therapist's training and your needs.
SOFT TISSUE & MYOFASCIAL TREATMENT
Massage therapy can use a variety of hands-on techniques to address areas of muscular tension, tenderness and soft-tissue restriction. Treatment can be adapted to specific areas of concern or incorporated into a more comprehensive full-body approach depending on your needs.
DEEP TISSUE & TARGETED MASSAGE
When appropriate, more focused pressure and techniques can be used to work with deeper areas of muscular tension and restriction. Deep tissue treatment does not simply mean applying maximum pressure. Your therapist adjusts the intensity and technique according to the area being treated, your goals and your comfort.
MOBILITY & MOVEMENT
Muscular and soft-tissue restrictions can influence how comfortably you move. Depending on the therapist and your needs, treatment may incorporate stretching, joint mobilization, fascial techniques and other movement-based approaches to complement hands-on massage.
INJURY & PHYSICAL RECOVERY
Massage therapy can be incorporated into recovery from musculoskeletal injuries and periods of increased physical demand. Treatment may focus on managing muscular tension, maintaining mobility and supporting your recovery as you return to work, exercise, training or everyday activity.
RELAXATION, STRESS & WELL-BEING
Not every massage needs to be injury-focused. Treatment can also be adapted to promote relaxation, reduce muscular tension and provide time for physical recovery from the demands of work, training and everyday life.
MORE THAN ONE APPROACH
Our Registered Massage Therapists bring different areas of training and clinical experience to their practice. Depending on the practitioner and your needs, treatment may incorporate techniques such as cupping, stretch therapy, acupuncture, lymphatic drainage, craniosacral techniques and other complementary approaches alongside massage therapy.
Care may address the following concerns and goals, from injury recovery and physical demands to relaxation.

Our RMTs bring varied training and clinical experience, helping you find an approach suited to your needs.
A TEAM WITH DIFFERENT AREAS OF EXPERTISE
Our Registered Massage Therapists bring different backgrounds and additional training to their practice. This gives patients access to a broader range of treatment perspectives and allows you to work with a therapist whose approach is appropriate for your needs and goals.
HANDS-ON ASSESSMENT & CLINICAL REASONING
Your massage therapist considers more than where you feel tension. How you move, areas of restriction, your activity level, previous injuries and the physical demands placed on your body can all help guide treatment and determine where attention may be needed.
CARE THAT CAN CHANGE WITH YOU
Your massage therapy doesn't have to look the same at every appointment. Treatment can shift between targeted care, mobility, physical recovery, maintenance or relaxation as your symptoms, activity and goals change.
PART OF A MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAM
When appropriate, your RMT can work alongside Momentum's physiotherapy, chiropractic and athletic therapy team, allowing different aspects of your care and rehabilitation to be coordinated within one clinic.
FROM EVERYDAY LIFE TO HIGH-PERFORMANCE SPORT
Our massage therapy team works with a wide range of physical demands, from desk work and everyday activity to recreational exercise and competitive sport. That range of experience allows treatment to be adapted to what your body needs outside the treatment room.
