Meet your therapist
Hi, I'm Sara.
I'm a Registered Massage Therapist in Fairview, Vancouver. I work with people living with chronic pain, recovering from injury or surgery, and managing the physical strain of work, sport and everyday life.
Each visit begins with a conversation and assessment so I understand what's going on. From there we agree on a treatment plan, I check in throughout, and you leave with practical home care to support your progress between sessions.
Sara Montaleone, RMT

RMTs use a combination of active and passive techniques to support muscle recovery, pain relief and injury rehabilitation. Through a detailed assessment and a personalized treatment plan, I target soft tissue and musculoskeletal conditions while supporting your overall wellness.
What are your credentials?
Sara Montaleone is a Registered Massage Therapist in British Columbia. To learn more about how RMTs are trained and registered in BC, visit rmtbc.ca.
What are the benefits of massage therapy?

- Relieve muscle tension and chronic pain
- Improve circulation and flexibility
- Support injury recovery and mobility
- Reduce stress and anxiety
Do I need a doctor's referral?
No. In British Columbia you can book directly with a Registered Massage Therapist without a physician referral. Some insurance plans require a referral for reimbursement, so it's worth checking your plan before your first visit.
Is massage therapy covered by insurance? Do you direct bill?
Most extended health plans cover registered massage therapy. Please check your individual plan for details. Yes, I offer direct billing for your convenience.
Do you accept ICBC claims?
Yes. Please bring your ICBC claim number and your adjuster's name and phone number to your first appointment. The number of treatments ICBC covers varies, so please contact me for details.
Is there parking?
Street parking is available nearby. Please read the signage carefully and allow extra time to find a spot. There are no reserved client spaces, and parking can't be validated.
What is the cancellation policy?
You can change or cancel your appointment up to 24 hours beforehand. Changes or cancellations within 24 hours are subject to the full treatment fee.
What happens at my first visit?
We'll go over your health history and what brought you in, then agree on a plan before we start. You undress to your comfort level and stay draped with a sheet the whole time. Only the area I'm working on is uncovered.
What should I wear?
Whatever is comfortable. You're welcome to leave on any clothing you like, and I'll work around it.
How much pressure will you use?
Pressure is always adjusted to you. I'll check in throughout, and you can ask for lighter or firmer pressure at any time. Treatment should never be more uncomfortable than you're happy with.
How do I pay?
Payment is due at the time of your appointment. Credit, debit and e-transfer are accepted.
