Welcome
Welcome to the Rivers RMT community,
where we are committed to providing professional, safe and effective relief of pain brought on by physical, mental and emotional life stressors through the use of Massage Therapy and soft tissue modalities. It's her goal to improve clientele quality of life through injury prevention, health promotion as well as whole-body wellness. All clinics will provide a safe space for all to access treatment.
Rivers RMT, is owned and operated by Heather Rivers, a Registered Massage Therapist in the Durham Region. After obtaining my Honours Bachelor in Kinesiology from McMaster University in 2010, I graduated from Sutherland Chan School of Massage Therapy in 2013. Then in 2014 I became certified in Advanced Cupping Techniques, and I am well versed in joint and muscle taping techniques. Which can be included in any treatment to help further reduce any pain or discomfort associated with musculoskeletal conditions.
I grew up playing sports in the Durham and Clarington Areas, and still continue to participate in community sport programs. My love of sports translated into my work, allowing me to participate and treat a variety of athletes including college level football, NHL players, professional wake-boarders and national level rugby. Having a diverse understanding of a variety of sports, allows me to take a unique approach to assessing and understanding the demands placed on your body.
Now that I am transitioning to a central clinic so I can focus on helping the durham community find the right work life balance. Our society and jobs demands so much from us day to day, increasing our stress levels which over prolonged time can have negative effects on our health. We need to be sure to keep our health and wellness a priority in order to live full happy lives. Clinical evidence proves that Massage Therapy is a great way to reduce overall stress and its symptoms.
