MST vs. RMT: Which one do you actually need?

If you have benefits, booking an RMT (Registered Massage Therapist) is often the default choice. And for general relaxation or standard maintenance, RMTs are fantastic.

But if you are dealing with chronic pain, limited mobility, or a specific injury that just won't go away, you might need a different approach. That is where Musculoskeletal Therapy (MST) comes in.

What is MST?

Musculoskeletal Therapy is a clinical approach to treating the body. While a standard massage often focuses on the "symptom" (the tight muscle), MST looks for the "cause" (the skeletal imbalance or movement pattern causing the tightness).

In my sessions at The Cove, we don't just flush out the muscles. We assess:

Why choose MST?

Many of my clients come to me after trying everything else. They have "treated the pain" for months, but it keeps coming back. By using MST techniques, we aim to correct the dysfunction so the pain stays away.

Because I focus on results rather than insurance billing, I can offer premium, targeted treatment at a more accessible price point than many high-end clinics. You aren't paying for the admin; you are paying for the result.
