At C.E.S. Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation (350 Highway 7 East, Unit 108), our licensed Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs), Doreen Li and Hiro Kemmoku, provide clinical, outcome-focused massage therapy in Richmond Hill. Unlike spa relaxation massages, our RMT treatments are designed to resolve deep soft-tissue restrictions, chronic muscle pain, joint stiffness, and post-accident injuries.
Working inside our multidisciplinary rehabilitation clinic alongside our Registered Physiotherapists and Chiropractors, our RMTs tailor every 30-, 45-, 60-, or 90-minute session to your anatomy and recovery goals. Whether you are an office worker along the Highway 7 corridor battling chronic neck and shoulder knots, a runner with tight hips and lower back stiffness, or a patient recovering from a Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA), our massage therapy accelerates tissue healing and restores comfortable movement.

Registered Massage Therapy FAQs
Question 1: Is your massage therapy performed by licensed Ontario RMTs?
Answer: Yes, all massage treatments at C.E.S. Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation are performed by Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) licensed with the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario (CMTO), ensuring official receipts for extended health insurance reimbursement.
​
Question 2: How does clinical RMT massage work alongside physiotherapy or chiropractic care?Answer: Receiving RMT massage loosens tight muscles and fascia, reduces guarding, and increases local blood flow—which makes spinal adjustments and physiotherapy exercises easier, more comfortable, and longer-lasting.
​
Question 3: Can I use my extended health benefits or MVA insurance for RMT massage?
Answer: Yes, Registered Massage Therapy is covered by most employee Extended Health Care plans and approved Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA) treatment plans. Check your policy to see if your insurer requires a physician's note for reimbursement.
