Registered Massage Therapy (RMT) in Vancouver

Q: Is massage therapy covered by ICBC?

Yes. ICBC pre-approves up to 12 massage therapy sessions within the first 12 weeks from your accident date. If you need treatment beyond this period, our clinic will work directly with ICBC to coordinate approval for continued care.

Registered Massage Therapy (RMT) is a regulated healthcare profession that focuses on assessing, treating, and preventing soft tissue and joint dysfunction, pain, and injury. RMTs (Registered Massage Therapists) use hands-on techniques such as manipulation and mobilization to improve physical function, release tight tissues, and support overall well-being.

Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing chronic tension, or looking for Sports Massage in Vancouver, sessions are tailored to your needs — from deep tissue to relaxation — with pressure always adjusted to your comfort.
