ASSESSMENT FIRST REMEDIAL MASSAGE THERAPY is found near the hospital inside NEXUS ORTHOTICS at Gershaw and 4th at 101 - 266 4 St SW, Medicine Hat, AB T1A 4E5

During your first appointment you will notice Rosemarie (Marie) Trafford, RMT, CLT does things differently.  A thorough oral health history is recorded and an assessment is done before you are on the table.  That means if you book an hour for your first appointment, you will only get about 1/2 hour of treatment, which is why it is recommended you book a 90-minute appointment for your first consultation with Marie.

Marie firmly believes you should NOT leave a massage feeling worse than when you walked in the door.  If you believe in "no pain, no gain" then this is not the right therapist for you.
