MASSAGE THERAPY
Recovery, injury prevention and injury management are as crucial in fitness as the training itself. At CrossFit Squamish we have a seperate clinic room and offer Registered Massage Therapy to both
CrossFit Squamish clients and the general public.
Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) in British Columbia have graduated from a 3000 hour Massage Therapy program and have subsequently passed the provincial College of Massage Therapists Board
Examination. This is the highest accreditation standard for Massage Therapy in North America. Therapists are trained to perform orthopedic assessment and treat a vast number of conditions by
encouraging optimal musculoskeletal and systemic function.
The high level of training of a BC RMT affects the efficacy and safety of treatments provided in 3 ways:
- The ability to accurately assess the cause of the presenting complaint in order to create an appropriate treatment plan
- Proper training in a variety of techniques to be safely and effectively performed
- The ability to recognize conditions for which some forms of treatment are contraindicated, and to modify accordingly.

At CrossFit Squamish, RMT and CrossFit trainer Heather Bell is dedicated to her education and her clients, and strives to implement the most effective treatments possible.
HEATHER BELL
RMT, CrossFit Trainer
Heather is a 2006 graduate from the West Coast College of Massage Therapy in Vancouver. She has been practicing at Village Centre Chiropractic and Massage in Whistler and is particularly interested in sports/activity related injury management through restoring musculoskeletal alignment, working with children and pregnancy and increasing functional capacity through rehabilitation and fitness training.
She has deliberately chosen to pursue fitness training to enhance her work as an RMT. Her goal is to breach the gap between rehabilitative care within the clinic and the efforts required to develop functional strength and work capacity beyond the clinic. Each discipline has greatly enhanced her knowledge of the other!
