Registered Massage Therapy
in Kanata
Therapeutic massage focused on real results, not just relaxation. Treat muscle tension, sports injuries, and chronic pain with care built into your recovery plan.
What Is Registered Massage Therapy?
Registered massage therapy (RMT) is a regulated healthcare profession focused on the assessment and treatment of soft tissue and muscle dysfunction. At Pro-Action, our registered massage therapists in Kanata work directly within your overall treatment plan, targeting the specific muscles, trigger points, and connective tissue contributing to your pain or restricting your movement. Whether you’re recovering from a sports injury, managing chronic back or neck pain, or dealing with desk-related tension, our RMTs coordinate with our chiropractic and physiotherapy team for a fully integrated approach.
What Can Massage Therapy Help With?
Massage Therapy That’s Part of Your Plan
At most clinics, massage therapy exists in a silo. At Pro-Action, it’s a coordinated part of your treatment. Our registered massage therapists communicate directly with your chiropractor or physiotherapist so every technique applied supports what’s happening in the rest of your care: whether that means releasing muscle tension before an adjustment, improving blood circulation to support tissue healing, or targeting the specific soft tissue structures contributing to your pain.
What to Expect at Your Registered Massage Therapy Appointment
1
We Assess
Your RMT will review your intake and discuss your current symptoms, goals, and treatment history before treatment begins. Every decision flows from what we find in the assessment.
2
We Treat
Treatment is tailored to your specific presentation, whether that’s deep tissue work, trigger point release, muscle recovery techniques, or therapeutic massage for chronic tension and stress relief.
3
We Check Progress
Your therapist will check changes in range of motion or pain levels at the end of your visit so both of you can see what shifted.

The Practitioners Behind Your Results
Frequently Asked Questions.
Here are the questions we hear most from new patients.
Is registered massage therapy covered by insurance?
In most cases, yes. Many extended health benefit plans include registered massage therapy. We direct bill most major providers so you’re not out of pocket while waiting for reimbursement. If you’re unsure about your coverage, give us a call before you book.
What’s the difference between a regular massage and registered massage therapy?
A registered massage therapist has completed an accredited therapy program and is regulated as a healthcare provider. At Pro-Action, your RMT is trained to assess and treat musculoskeletal conditions clinically. That’s a different scope and standard than a spa or relaxation massage.
How often should I come in for massage therapy?
That depends on your condition and goals. Your therapist will recommend a treatment frequency based on your assessment. Many patients find that combining regular massage with chiropractic or physiotherapy delivers faster and longer-lasting results.
Can massage therapy help with sports injuries?
Yes. Massage therapy is a key component of sports injury recovery at Pro-Action. Our RMTs target the specific muscles, soft tissue, and scar tissue involved in your injury to support mobility, reduce pain, and aid recovery.
Is massage therapy painful?
Deep tissue massage and trigger point work can cause temporary discomfort, but it should never be beyond what you’re comfortable with. Your therapist will check in throughout the session and adjust pressure based on your feedback.
