Clinical care. Restorative presence. Regulated support.
Massage therapy is the assessment and treatment of the soft tissues and joints of the body, including muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments, and fascia. At Deep Roots, Registered Massage Therapy (RMT) offers evidence-based care for discomfort associated with postural stress, repetitive strain, injuries, chronic tension and other associated conditions.
Massage therapy can support recovery from both acute and chronic conditions. RMTs work with a wide range of individuals—including those seeking relief from pain, support through rehabilitation, or a therapeutic space to manage the effects of physical stress.
