Katherine Tovey RMT

My 2027 schedule is now open! Also come the New Year my hours of operation will be changing slightly, but don't worry there will still be the same amount of appointments available 😁

With Cold & Flu season upon us, I just wanted to quickly remind everyone of my illness policy 🙂 Stay Healthy!

Just a heads up to all my amazing clients! I will be out of office and away from my devices August 15th - 23rd. You will still be able to reach me but my response time will probably be longer than usual as I am helping out at the Annapolis Valley Exhibition!

IMPORTANT UPDATE:

When contacting me via email please send all inquiries to [email protected] as I will not receive any emails if sent to my previous address.

If you contact me through text or DM there is no change

🩺 Do You Know Your Blood Pressure?

Knowing your blood pressure isn't just important for your overall health—it's also essential information to share with your massage therapist. Changes in blood pressure can affect the safety and effectiveness of your treatment, so always keep your therapist informed of any new diagnoses, medication changes, or recent readings.

Massage and Blood Pressure Guidelines:

🔴 180/120 mmHg or higher (Hypertensive Crisis)

Massage is not safe at this level.
This is an absolute contraindication.
Seek immediate medical attention.

🟠 140/90 mmHg or higher (Stage 2 Hypertension)

Considered a relative contraindication.
Massage is only appropriate if the condition is medically managed, controlled with medication, or if you have written clearance from your healthcare provider.

🟢 Below 140/90 mmHg

Generally considered safe for massage.
Massage may help support healthy blood pressure levels by activating the body's natural relaxation response and reducing stress.

Common Physical Signs of High Blood Pressure:

Frequent headaches
Dizziness or lightheadedness
Blurred vision
Shortness of breath
Chest pain
Fatigue
Nosebleeds
Heart palpitations
Flushing or redness of the face

It's important to remember that many people with high blood pressure experience no symptoms at all, which is why regular monitoring is so important.

For your convenience and safety, I always have a Hypertension Canada-approved blood pressure cuff available on-site. If you're unsure of your current blood pressure or have concerns before your treatment, we can take a reading prior to your appointment.

Your health and safety are always my priority. If you've had any recent changes in your blood pressure, medications, or overall health, please let me know before your appointment so we can ensure your treatment is both safe and effective.
