Registered Massage Therapy treatments start with an health-history discussion and an assessment, in which the patient's goals for the treatment and a treatment plan are established. The therapist then uses a variety of modalities during the treatment. These may include but are not limited to: Swedish massage techniques, hydrotherapy applications, range of motion movements (active, passive or resisted), craniosacral techniques, and myofascial techniques. The patient may be given additional stretches and/or exercises or self-care techniques to do at home.
