Mask Wearing
Do I need to wear a mask when face down? If I'm vaccinated do I still need to wear a mask? Can I adjust my mask so it is not covering my nose and/or mouth during treatment?
Mask wearing is mandatory at all times while in the clinic, even if you have received both doses of your COVID-19 vaccination. This means that you are required to properly wear your mask 100% of the time, including for the duration of your treatment. If you are uncomfortable lying face down with your mask on, your therapist would be happy to discuss other options for positioning with you.
Direct Billing
We offer direct billing for ICBC claims and for RCMP and VAC members. At this time, we do not offer any direct billing to health insurance providers.
COVID-19 Screening
You will be emailed a COVID-19 screening 48 hours prior to your appointment. This measure is in place to protect the health and safety of all of our therapists as well as other patients in the clinic. If your COVID-19 pre-screening survey is not completed the day before your treatment, your appointment will be cancelled. There are no exceptions to this rule.
How much should I tip my RMT?
The short answer is: you don't need to! Your massage therapist is a primary healthcare provider, just like your dentist or optometrist. The best way that you can show your appreciation is by recommending us to your friends and family!
