Massage Therapy at Reddy’s Physio Rehab
Reddy’s Physio Rehab Inc. offers registered massage therapy (RMT) at our Scarborough clinic, providing therapeutic treatment for pain relief, injury recovery, stress reduction, and overall physical wellness. Our registered massage therapists use a variety of hands-on techniques tailored to your specific condition and recovery goals.
What Is Registered Massage Therapy?
Registered massage therapy involves the assessment and manipulation of soft tissues — including muscles, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissue — to treat pain, rehabilitate injuries, and promote overall health. In Ontario, registered massage therapists (RMTs) are regulated healthcare professionals who complete extensive education and clinical training before receiving their designation. This means you can be confident in the quality and safety of your treatment.
Conditions Treated with Massage Therapy
- Chronic pain conditions — persistent neck, back, and shoulder pain that impacts daily life
- Motor vehicle accident injuries — whiplash, muscle guarding, and post-accident tension
- Sports injuries — muscle strains, overuse injuries, and recovery support for athletes
- Headaches and migraines — tension-type headaches caused by tight muscles in the neck and shoulders
- Stress and anxiety — physical tension patterns related to emotional stress
- Repetitive strain injuries — carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, and workplace-related tension

- Sciatica — radiating leg pain caused by nerve compression in the lower back
Our Massage Therapy Techniques
Our RMTs are trained in multiple therapeutic techniques and will select the approach best suited to your condition:
- Deep tissue massage — targets the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue to release chronic tension and knots
- Swedish massage — uses long, flowing strokes to promote relaxation, improve circulation, and ease muscle tension
- Myofascial release — gentle sustained pressure on the fascia to eliminate pain and restore motion
- Trigger point therapy — focused pressure on specific tight spots in muscles that refer pain to other areas
- Sports massage — specialized techniques for athletes to prevent injuries, enhance performance, and speed recovery
- Lymphatic drainage — gentle technique to reduce swelling and support the immune system

What to Expect During Your Visit
Your first massage therapy appointment includes a brief health history review and assessment of your condition. Your RMT will discuss your symptoms, treatment goals, and any areas of concern before beginning treatment. Sessions are typically 30, 45, or 60 minutes in length, depending on your needs. Treatment is performed in a private, comfortable room, and your therapist will check in with you throughout the session to ensure your comfort.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a doctor’s referral for massage therapy?
No referral is required to see an RMT in Ontario. However, some insurance plans may require a doctor’s note for reimbursement — check with your provider.
Is massage therapy covered by insurance?
Most extended health care plans cover registered massage therapy. We also bill directly for auto insurance (MVA) and WSIB claims. Our front desk staff can help you understand your coverage.
How often should I get massage therapy?
For acute injuries, weekly sessions are typically recommended until significant improvement is achieved. For maintenance and stress management, bi-weekly or monthly sessions work well for most patients. Your RMT will recommend a frequency based on your condition.
What should I wear?
You’ll be provided with appropriate draping during treatment. Most patients undress to their comfort level. Your RMT will only uncover the area being treated.
