What should I wear to my appointment?
Wear loose, comfortable clothing. For registered massage therapy or acupuncture sessions, your RMT or acupuncturist will guide you on what to remove to access the areas being treated, always ensuring your privacy and comfort.
How do I choose the right RMT practitioner?

What’s the difference between an RMT and a regular massage therapist?
An RMT (Registered Massage Therapist) in British Columbia is a healthcare professional with over 2,200 hours of training, certified by the College of Massage Therapists of BC. Unlike spa or relaxation massage, registered massage therapy is a regulated healthcare service.
Where are you located?
Paramed Health Collective is conveniently located in downtown Vancouver at 1200 Burrard Street, Suite 1035, making it easy to access expert RMT services, acupuncture, and other wellness treatments near you.
Do I really need an RMT?

Does acupuncture work?
Yes! Acupuncture is clinically proven to help with pain relief, stress reduction, and a range of health concerns. At Paramed, our licensed acupuncturists use traditional Chinese medicine techniques to support your body’s natural healing process.
