Regain Your Mobility With The Help Of Emkiro's Registered Massage Therapists
Emkiro’s Registered Massage Therapists (RMT) are highly skilled professionals who will work with you to relieve the pain in your soft tissues – muscles, connective tissues, tendons, ligaments, and joints.
Massage therapy can ease pain and reduce muscle tension. Your massage therapist will perform a physical assessment to identify the painful or tense areas and to determine which massage techniques would be helpful for your condition.
RMTs are experts at alleviating pain, whether the pain is caused by sports injuries, muscle strain, daily stressors, work-related discomfort, or anything else.
Now available: HOT STONE & CUPPING THERAPY
- Hot Stone Massage involves the use and placement of natural rock on different points of the body. The rocks are heated before use and the massage therapist can then apply deeper pressure to areas of concern without causing any discomfort with the added benefit of a deeper sense of relaxation and tension relief.
- Cupping Therapy Cupping increases blood circulation to the area where the cups are placed which can relieve muscle tension, overall blood flow and promote cell repair. It may also help form new connective tissues and create new blood vessels in the tissue. After creating the suction, the therapist moves the cups across the skin. Cupping has been practiced for thousands of years in Egyptian, Chinese, and Middle Eastern cultures

Is Massage Therapy Covered by Insurance?
Yes. Most Canadian workers benefit from partial or full coverage for Registered Massage Therapy services in their workplace health care plans. Emkiro bills participating insurance plans directly so you pay less out of pocket. Your insurance policy may cover a large percentage of the costs, so you may only have to cover the difference.
For example, if your insurance provider covers 80% of the Massage Therapy costs, you’ll have to pay for the remaining 20%. Check with your insurance provider for more details.
Do I Need a Doctor's Note?
Although you don’t require a doctor’s note to receive massage therapy, for the purposes of insurance reimbursement, some insurance providers may require a note from your physician or chiropractor explaining why Massage Therapy has been recommended. Check with your insurance provider for details specific to your insurance plan.
What Do I Need to Bring With Me to the Massage Session?
You don’t need to bring anything to your visit.
However, it may be a good idea to wear or to bring loose, comfortable clothing with you. Your massage therapist will ask you to undress to a level you feel comfortable for your massage. Wearing loose clothing will make the undressing process easier.
You may feel tender after a massage session, so the loose clothing may enable you to feel more comfortable on your way home.
Can I Get a Massage as Part of a Vehicle Accident Insurance Claim?
You are able to receive Massage Therapy as a part of your motor vehicle accident insurance claim if a doctor prescribes it and your auto insurance covers it. Motor vehicle insurance plans typically cover a multitude of health care services, including chiropractic, physiotherapy, and massage therapy, as well as pain relief products such as electronic muscle stimulation devices.
Do I Have to Be in Pain to Have Massage Therapy?
No, you don’t need to be in pain. Massage Therapy is often used therapeutically as a stress relief aid and can help with relaxation.
