+RMTs are regulated health care professionals recognized by insurance companies across Ontario.
+It is recommended that clients check with their insurance provider about whether they are required to have a doctor's note in order to submit a claim.
+Your receipt will include the practitioner's registration number necessary for an insurance claim submission. This number verifies that your therapist is registered with the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario (CMTO).
+
+ Free form/improvisational movement and mobility training as a form of personal and artistic expression and wellness is what ultimately drives Dahlia to continue to learn about our amazing bodies and how we can all move more gracefully as we age.
+Remedial exercise aka "Rem-Ex" instruction involves teaching a few targeted strength, stretch or mobility exercises that are aimed at furthering the benefits of massage therapy long term, which is an intrinsic component of a comprehensive treatment.
+Although this often comes highly recommended, not everyone is interested in learning a new exercise immediately after having a massage. This makes a lot of sense, and yet Dahlia will still do her best to encourage you, within reason.
+That said, clients have a few options:
+Clients may request or deny remedial exercise instruction as part of treatment, based on their personal goals.
+Clients can request to allot up to 50% of their treatment time (15 to 45 minutes) for Rem-Ex instruction before or after their massage.
+Clients can also sign up for upcoming movement workshops for a more comprehensive group learning experience.
+The original concept of Ebb'nFlow Massage (now Ebb'nFlow Therapeutics) was born out of Dahlia's initial work as a yoga instructor, before she became a massage therapist. Dahlia taught private, one-on-one sessions as well as classes around the GTA from 2004-2009.
+ +She recognized the need to meet students where they were instead of insisting that they push through their pain and fatigue similarly to the approach of a personal trainer. Some days they would arrive in a lot of pain and would need a gentler approach such as more periods of rest or "ebb" between exercises or hands on work such as massage at the end of their sessions.
+ +Dahlia's natural talent for massage as a component of her sessions enabled students to show up more consistently for practice instead of skipping practice out of concern that they would not be able to make it through a session.
+ +Since consistency is key to success, a more fluid and compassionate approach to teaching one-on-one was born and clients were given permission to move as they needed through periods of "ebb" or "flow" with grace and freedom from the need to over achieve.
+Dahlia's movement and mobility workshops are aimed towards adults and seniors and offer opportunities to gain greater strength, flexibility, mobility and balance as well as to embrace the discovery of one's own unique expression through movement and dance.
+
+ Free form/improvisational movement and mobility training as a form of personal and artistic expression and wellness is what ultimately drives Dahlia to continue to learn about our amazing bodies and how we can all move more gracefully as we age.
+She continues to dance for her own enjoyment and can be found performing or choreographing for community arts-based projects when opportunities arise.
+Dahlia is working towards offering more movement and mobility classes and workshops in the future so please stay tuned for updates by checking the Movement section of this website.
+If long lasting improvement is your goal than you may want to consider how Dahlia's skills as a teacher could benefit you through either one-on-one instruction sessions that can be combined with massage therapy or group workshops.
+ +Once you have successfully booked your initial appointment, you will receive a confirmation email with a few forms to fill out ahead of time.
+Your initial appointment begins with an in-person review of forms and an assessment that can range from simple to more involved, depending on the complexity or severity of your condition.
+This allows your therapist to ascertain whether there are any contraindications or modifications that may need to be considered for safe and effective treatment.
+The first treatment session requires additional time to go over the forms and perform an initial assessment that may include postural observations, range of motion testing, and/or neurological and special orthopaedic testing.
+With numerous tools available to her, Dahlia continuously discerns which techniques may be most effective and regularly reassesses client responses to ensure that treatments continue to be beneficial.
+Dahlia meets clients where they are, and is able to offer either a quiet retreat or a fun, friendly conversational interaction during treatments. She prioritizes client's goals, with the utmost respect for their comfort, time and resources.
+She encourages an atmosphere of open, two-way communication that respects privacy, autonomy and preferences such as depth of pressure and special consent for the treatment of sensitive areas if indicated, guided strictly by the principles of ethical practice adhered to by all registrants of the CMTO.
+
+ A massage from Dahlia is an experience and often also an education. Her approach is intuitive, evidence-based and trauma-informed. Her own personal experiences with injury and chronic pain has instilled a high level of empathy for and understanding of clients' complaints as well as her insistence on professionalism and excellence of care.
+There's always a unique and inspiring playlist in the background. Clients can also request music that they enjoy, adding to an experience that is tailored just for them. Complimentary aromatherapy is also available by request.
+Dahlia is a teacher at heart, so you likely won't be able to walk away without being encouraged to learn a stretch or strengthening exercise or about how to incorporate a home care practice into your routine to enhance the long term effects of treatment between sessions.
+You can expect to have your primary area of concern addressed directly, within a treatment that aims to treat the body holistically as an interconnected system.
+Begin your wellness journey with a comprehensive assessment and personalized treatment plan.
