Yvonne Brooks RMT
Yvonne comes from a long background in Social Services. During her time in that field, she grew another side to her career that included Reflexology, Yoga Instruction and Reiki. She always wanted to be a Massage Therapist, but the dream was on hold while raising her family. The dream became a reality within the last few years and Yvonne has fully integrated herself into the natural healing world. She is excited to share her passion and expertise with others. She believes in the body’s own natural ability to heal itself as well as proactive health care. In addition to assessing and treating your soft issues and joints to relieve pain and improve
function, Yvonne will also provide education for home exercises and develop a treatment plan to best suit your needs.
MASSAGE THERAPY
What is massage therapy?
Massage therapy is the manipulation of soft tissues of the body including muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments and joints. Massage therapy is a clinically oriented and evidence based healthcare option that helps alleviate the discomfort associated with every day occupational stresses, muscular over-use and many chronic pain conditions.
RMTs (Registered Massage Therapist) assess and treat physical dysfunction and pain of the soft tissue and joints of the body, mostly by hands-on manipulation. Assessment and treatment can include orthopaedic and neurological testing, soft tissue manipulation (Swedish massage is the most commonly used technique), hydrotherapy, remedial exercise programs and client education programs.
All RMT’s in Ontario must complete a comprehensive College program of health sciences and hands on practical skills after graduating they must complete the CMTO’s (College of Massage Therapist’s of Ontario) certification exams in order to practice within Ontario.
