What happens at the first massage therapy appointment?
At the first appointment your registered massage therapist will take a full history and perform various tests and assessments to determine what areas of your body can be worked on.
How long is a massage therapy appointment?
Depending on the nature of your injury the assessment could range from 60 minutes to 1.5 hours in length. This will be discussed prior to your assessment. The number and length of follow-up visit can also vary and will be discussed once your initial assessment is completed.
Do I need a doctor’s note for massage therapy?
You do not need a doctor’s note to attend a massage therapy initial assessment or treatment session. Some extended health care plans require a physician’s note to have registered massage therapy expenses reimbursed.
