At Yonge Rehab on Yonge Street in Richmond Hill, our experienced Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) help you choose the treatment that fits your goals. Here is a simple guide to help you decide.
Why See a Registered Massage Therapist in Richmond Hill?
In Ontario, RMTs are regulated health professionals registered with the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario (CMTO). Your RMT assesses you before treatment and tailors every session to how your body feels that day.
Choosing an RMT also matters for your benefits. Most extended health plans only cover massage therapy when it is provided by a Registered Massage Therapist. Learn more about our RMT massage in Richmond Hill.
Deep Tissue Massage: For Ongoing Pain and Tight Muscles
Deep tissue massage works on deeper layers of muscle to release long-standing tension. It may suit you if you:
- Sit at a desk all day and feel it in your neck and shoulders
- Have lower back pain that keeps coming back
- Feel knots that do not go away with stretching
- Want focused work on one or two problem areas
Sports Massage: For Active People in Richmond Hill
Sports massage helps your muscles recover and keeps you moving. It may suit you if you:
- Run, lift, cycle or play hockey, soccer or tennis
- Feel sore or tight after training
- Are recovering from a muscle strain
- Want to lower your risk of injury
Relaxation and Swedish Massage: For Stress Relief
Swedish massage uses gentle, flowing strokes to calm the body and mind. It may suit you if you:
- Feel stressed or run down
- Have trouble sleeping
- Prefer lighter pressure
- Simply want an hour for yourself
Want to relax even more deeply? Hot stone massage adds soothing warmth that helps tight muscles let go.
Prenatal and Specialty Massage at Yonge Rehab
We also offer prenatal massage for back and hip discomfort during pregnancy, TMJ massage for jaw tension and related headaches, and lymphatic drainage massage for swelling. Not sure which one you need? Tell us how you feel when you book, and we will guide you.
Using Your Insurance: RMT Direct Billing in Richmond Hill
Many extended health plans in Ontario cover massage therapy by an RMT. At Yonge Rehab, we direct bill your insurance for treatment, so you only pay any portion your plan does not cover.
Bring your insurance company name, policy number and member ID to your appointment. Many plans reset on January 1, so if you still have coverage left this year, book before December 31.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a doctor’s referral for RMT massage?
No referral is needed to book with an RMT in Ontario. Some insurance plans do require a doctor’s note before they reimburse massage, so check your plan.
Will a deep tissue massage hurt?
You may feel firm pressure on tight areas, but it should never be painful. Tell your RMT anytime, and they will adjust.
How often should I get a massage?
For pain or an injury, your RMT may suggest more frequent visits at first. For maintenance and stress relief, many people come every few weeks.
