Registered Massage Therapy
Registered Massage therapy (RMT) is the treatment and prevention of dysfunction, injury and pain in the body through the use of hands-on manipulation of soft tissues and joints. Our dedicated team is passionate about supporting your journey to optimal health.
RMT sessions are eligible to be charged and billed directly to health insurance providers and ICBC.

Before your first appointment
Wear or bring clothing you can move in, so your RMT can assess and treat the area properly. If you’re coming in for an ICBC claim, have your claim number ready. If you’re using extended health benefits, bring your plan details so the clinic can check direct billing.
What massage therapy costs
Pricing varies by session length and can change, so the most reliable place to see current rates is the online booking page. What you pay depends on session length, whether it’s billed through extended health, and whether it falls under an approved ICBC claim.
If you’re being treated under an approved ICBC claim, there is no out-of-pocket cost for your covered visits.

Questions about massage therapy
The East Vancouver clinic, at 5334 Victoria Dr in Victoria-Fraserview, is the one taking appointments. The second Movement Room clinic at 2337 Main St in Mount Pleasant hasn’t opened yet, so it has no hours and takes no bookings. If Main Street is the location that suits you, the waitlist is how to hear when it opens, and East Vancouver can see you in the meantime.
No referral is needed to book massage therapy in British Columbia. An appointment can be arranged directly with the clinic. Some extended health plans still ask for a physician’s note before they will reimburse massage therapy, which is a rule set by the insurer rather than the clinic, so it is worth reading the wording of your plan before the first visit if reimbursement matters.
Massage therapy is one of the treatments ICBC funds once a claim has been opened, and Movement Room can bill ICBC directly with your claim number. For extended health, we direct bill Pacific Blue Cross, Sun Life, Manulife, Canada Life, and Green Shield where the plan permits it. Where a plan does not allow direct billing, the receipt issued after the appointment carries the therapist registration and clinic details insurers ask for.
Registered massage therapy is a regulated health profession in British Columbia and the title is protected in law. An RMT completes an accredited program, passes provincial registration examinations, and holds a registration that anyone can look up in a public register. A spa massage can be a very good hour, but it is a different service with different training behind it and different treatment by insurers.
It should stay tolerable, and normal breathing should be possible throughout. Some techniques on irritable tissue are uncomfortable while being applied, but pressure that makes a person brace or hold their breath is a signal to speak up. Mild soreness for a day afterwards, similar to unfamiliar exercise, is common.
