Rates (Includes Federal GST)
When choosing a session, keep in mind if it is an initial intake it may require more time, especially if multiple issues are being treated. Follow-ups can be shorter if desired.
Remember when you see an RMT, you are paying for not just manual work, but the clinical assessment skills and remedial exercises to get you better. We are a regulated profession, which means we do continuing education to maintain our licensure and have written board and practical exams to be considered part of the healthcare profession. In addition, when considering an RMT, a higher price may denote years of clinical experience in treating different conditions.
- 60 minutes – $140 – A common amount of time for younger patients or those seeking treatment for a specific issue
- 75 minutes – $170 – Recommended for an initial session to give more time to cover one’s health history and extra time for assessment and treatment of multiple areas
- 90 minutes – $195 – Also recommended if assessing and treating multiple areas. A longer appointment gives the therapist additional time to focus on a more comprehensive assessment, multiple treatment areas, and/or time for completion of other functional assessment tools such as gait & posture

- Explain step-by-step treatment so the patient is aware of the “why” or the purpose of the techniques utilized and the potential outcome of treatment methods. This approach alleviates common stress often accompanying injuries or soft tissue health concerns. It also supports continued communication and consent between the therapist and the patient as treatment progresses
Flu or Colds
In courtesy of the practitioner and of other patients, no flu or colds are permitted in the clinic. You must cancel your appointment with as much notice as reasonably possible. If you have a fever, cough, or difficulty breathing, please do not enter the clinic. Thank you for your cooperation.
Cancellation Policy
Please allow 24 hours notice for the cancellation of your appointment. If you are missing an appointment due to flu-like symptoms or you have a fever, cough, or difficulty breathing or you think you may have been exposed to someone with any of the above symptoms, please cancel as soon as you can. There will be no penalty imposed if you are ill and can’t cancel within the 24-hour recommended time.
If you do not call to cancel and do not show up for your appointment, you will be billed 50 percent of the appointment cost and if you miss a second appointment the full appointment fee will be billed. If you miss a third, no further appointments will be made at this office. Missing an appointment creates a spot that someone else could have filled and giving notice provides a courtesy to the therapist and a potential patient.
