One of the first questions people ask when they visit a Vancouver massage clinic is if the clinicians are Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs). The reason people ask is because this is the type of massage therapy covered by their health insurance.
Ironically an RMT may not even be the best solution to help soothe their aches and pains… or even address the cause of the aches and pains.
An RMT mandate is to “fix” issues from Worker’s Compensation or car accident claims. Their focus is mostly on the physical body. Meanwhile, a Certified Massage Therapist (CMT) focuses on a wide range of prevention techniques to address the reasons you are experiencing aches and pains. This means a thorough analysis of your diet, sleep, stress and more and using a combination of holistic methods that focus on the mind-body connection.
Since 2004, Susan Polano has been a massage therapist with a holistic approach to help people experience a healthier and more fulfilling life through better health. She practices a variety of massage techniques and specialized treatments including:
- classic massage
- Prenatal care
- Sports massage
- Reflexology
- Lymphatic Drainage Massage (LDM)
- Aromatherapy
Susan Polano has dedicated herself to continuous learning and treats each client according to their exact needs. Her expert hands soothe and stimulate muscles and tissue by using a variety of modalities such as thermotherapy, aromatherapy, joint release movements, shiatsu and Swedish massage.
The mandate of a CMT is to focus on your overall health and restore and rejuvenate, as opposed to manipulating based on one area or injury. It is a total health perspective that Oceana Massage regular clients can all attest to and the reason they highly recommend Susan Polano for her healing hands and warm heart.
