MASSAGE THERAPY

At Gulf Island Physiotherapy, our Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) offers evidence-informed, personalized treatment to help you feel and function at your best — whether you’re recovering from injury, managing chronic tension, or simply looking to unwind.

WHAT IS MASSAGE THERAPY?

Massage therapy is the assessment and treatment of soft tissues — including muscles, fascia, ligaments, and tendons — using various manual techniques. It can help reduce stress, relieve pain, improve circulation, and support overall wellness.

Our approach is gentle but effective, grounded in clinical reasoning, and tailored to your individual needs.
