Emma Followes Registered Massage Therapist

Welcome. I’m Emma.

As a massage therapist, manual lymphatic drainage therapist, combined decongestive therapist, ADP authorizer (compression garments) and yoga instructor, my goal is to help you move more comfortably and easily and help you feel your best.

I pair my educational experience and years of clinical experience with my background in yoga to my practice to help you on the path to feeling better.

We’ll collaborate on a customized treatment plan for you, that includes massage/lymphatic drainage and after care, to pinpoint the source of your pain or discomfort, test different treatments, and work with your unique and specific needs.

+ Do you offer direct billing?

No. But the receipt that I provide you will include all the information that your insurance provider needs to reimburse you.

+ What forms of payment do you accept?

I accept credit card, e-transfer and cash.

+ What are your hours?

Monday 12-6; Tuesday 11-6; Wednesday 11-7; Thursday 11-7

+ Where are you located?

I work out of my home clinic in Long Branch (Etobicoke). After you book your appointment, I’ll provide you with location details. Street parking is available. Please note that there are stairs down to my clinic space so it is not accessible for everyone.

+ Is your space accessible?

No, there are seven stairs down from my side door.

+ Is there parking?

Yes, there is free street parking on both sides for three hours.

+ Are you an ADP authorizer?

Yes, I am an authorizer for compression garments (not pumps) for lymphedema under the Assistive Devices Program (ADP) through the Ontario Ministry of Health

+ Do you offer deep tissue/deep pressure massage?

Firm pressure massage can be part of your treatment if appropriate. I find that if the pressure is too much and your muscles tense up, the benefit of the session is not as great. I will check in with you about your comfort level throughout the massage to make sure the pressure is perfect for you. If you want to be squashed, then I can refer you to a better-suited therapist.

+ I like heat

I've got you covered! I have an infrared heating pad, warm oil and the option of including the infrared sauna as part of your treatment. When we review your health history, we will discuss the pros and cons of heat and what is best suited for you.

+ Do you have a cancellation policy?

I don't charge for a cancelled appointment due to illness, but I do ask that you give me 24 hours notice. I do charge a 50% fee for non-illness related cancellations with less than 24 hours notice.

+ Do you offer mobile massage?

No, I do not offer mobile massage

+ Are you vaccinated against Covid-19?

Yes! I am fully vaccinated and boosted. Click on the banner at the top of my website for details on the Covid-19 health and safety procedures that I follow.

+ What if I have more questions?

I'm happy to answer any questions that you have. You can contact me through my contact form or by calling me directly at 647-462-7961.
