Registered Massage Therapy in Mississauga
Shoreside Wellness has helped people in Mississauga feel and move better since 1995. Our Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) use hands-on techniques to ease muscle tension, support recovery and help you feel more comfortable in your body, whether you sit at a desk all day, train hard or are simply carrying too much stress.
Every session is tailored to you. Your RMT listens to your concerns, assesses how you move, and adjusts the pressure and techniques to your comfort. We welcome clients from across Mississauga, Port Credit and the surrounding area.
Registered Massage Therapy is a regulated health profession in Ontario. RMTs are trained to assess and treat the soft tissues and joints of the body, including muscles, tendons and ligaments. Treatment is hands-on and may include deep tissue work, trigger point therapy, myofascial release and stretching. Because RMTs are regulated health professionals, RMT treatment is covered by many extended health benefit plans.
Types of Massage Therapy We Offer
Therapeutic and deep tissue massage targets tight, overworked muscles and deeper layers of tissue. It is often chosen for ongoing neck, back and shoulder tension.
Prenatal massage uses comfortable side-lying positions and gentle techniques to ease the aches that can come with pregnancy, such as low back, hip and leg discomfort.
Relaxation massage is a lighter, full-body treatment focused on stress relief. See our relaxation massage page for details.
RMT or relaxation massage? Choose RMT massage if you have a specific concern, such as pain, an injury or ongoing tension, or if you want to use your extended health benefits. Choose relaxation massage if your main goal is to unwind and de-stress. Relaxation massage at Shoreside is provided by relaxation massage practitioners, who are not registered massage therapists. If you would like a relaxing massage and want to use your extended health benefits, our RMTs can also provide a relaxation-focused RMT massage. Not sure? Call us and we will help you decide.

What to Expect
Your first visit starts with a short health history form and a conversation about your concerns and goals. Your RMT will do a brief assessment, explain the treatment plan and ask for your consent before starting. You will be properly draped throughout, and you can ask for more or less pressure at any time. Sessions are available in 30, 45, 60, 75, 90 and 120 minute lengths, and your RMT may suggest stretches or home care to help between visits.
