Registered Massage Therapy in Vancouver
In-Person RMT In Vancouver
WHAT IS REGISTERED MASSAGE THERAPY?
Registered massage therapy (RMT) provides relief from soft tissue and joint conditions through manual manipulation. Your registered massage therapist will use techniques such as pressure, movement, and stretching to alleviate pain, reduce muscle tension, and improve overall physical mobility and function. Vancity Physio RMTs are experts in treating a wide range of conditions, including sports injuries, chronic pain, postural imbalances, and stress-related issues.
Our RMTs work closely with our team of physiotherapists and kinesiologists to provide the best treatment plan for your needs and goals. Book your massage therapy session at our Vancouver Fairview location.
BENEFITS OF REGISTERED MASSAGE THERAPY (RMT)
Massage therapy offers a range of physical and mental health benefits including relief from conditions like chronic pain, injuries, and muscle tension, while providing improved mobility, stress reduction, enhanced circulation, and headache management. Massage therapy provides a relaxing, stress relieving experience by improving blood flow and circulation while decreasing the response of the sympathetic nervous system.
Our Fairview clinic, where we offer registered massage therapy in Vancouver, is easily accessed by transit or car.
Your RMT will provide an ongoing treatment plan for future sessions and may recommend a physiotherapy plan to ensure you receive the full benefits of message therapy alongside physiotherapy.
We aim to provide the most comfortable experience possible for our clients. During your session, you will lie on a bed heated to your preference and your RMT will continually check in for your comfort throughout the treatment.

Andy Dobbs
Andy Dobbs graduated with a bachelor of science in Kinesiology at the University of Lethbridge in 2015 and then graduated from the Vancouver Career College massage therapy program in 2017. He employs a Swedish-based massage style featuring deep glides along tight and sore muscle fibers.
Andy's extended knowledge of anatomy and sports medicine is utilized as he analyzes his patient's biomechanics and treats muscles and joints. He believes in the importance in keeping up with recent research in manual therapy and pain modulation to provide the best possible care for his patients. Andy has extended education on Temporal-Mandibular Joint (TMJ) treatment to treat jaw pain. Additionally, he's taken the Ligamentous Articular Strain Technique (L.A.S.T.) and Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Massage (I.A.S.T.M.) courses.
In his free time, Andy enjoys playing fantasy football and baseball with his friends. Despite watching football and baseball religiously since he was 13 years old, he's inexplicably terrible at fantasy sports and wasn't won a championship in over 15 years. He's often listening to NaS and A Tribe Called Quest as he believes 90's New York-based hip-hop was the peak of the genre. After a long day at work and putting his two boys to bed, he crashes with his wife on the couch to enjoy a blend of petty drama and competition of "America's 5th major sport" found in MTV's "the Challenge"
