Have you heard we do direct billing now. Most insurance providers will work some still require you to submit manually.

Be sure to ask us about it next time you're, making your upfront cost for our services a fraction of the price you used to pay, and without the headache of having to submit them yourselves!

Also disclaimer, the information in this post is just for reference, I won't know the exact details your insurance covers.

Hey there 👋

I'm not sure if I've ever done a proper induction

So hello there, my name is Anthony Snively-Vazquez, and RMT is located in the Great City of Halifax, Nova Scotia

My goal is to reforge the way you look at massage therapy and what massage can do for you, your body, your mind, and your health.

The reason I started this journey back in 2016 was to bring a better level of care for those I cared about in my personal life. Both my mother and father had dealt with all sorts of bodily pains when I was younger and felt like the care they where receiving where not up to par of how the human experience should've been for someone in there position.

Fun fact back in 2012 I ended up setting my own ankle after it was broken (so if you got ankle problems 😉😉)

A few other facts are that I've done special training to take care of pelvic dysfunctions, I'm pretty good at drawing, and I'm half Latinx. My other half is rooted in Norse heritage

let's play 2 trusts, one lie, and you folks try to guess!

1) I have multiple tattoos ✒️
2) MY Coffee is ALWAYS sweet ☕️
3) I've got a motorcycle 🏍

Hopefully, you've learned a little more about me and why I do the things I do. I'm looking forward to what 2023 has to hold and all the new & old faces I'll be seeing and revisiting !

Much Love Anthony 🫀

Show your legs some Rest & Relaxation

Unwind with some deep muscle stripping, add some hot oil to your next treatment to fall deeper into relax mode.

Did you know? That your hamstrings have deeply connected relationship with your hip and low back pain?
If you experience these pains and localized work doesn't seem to do the job try some at-home foam rolling to better care for your body !

Touch. Relax. Unwind.

Sometimes our bodies need a relaxing touch to unwind and let go of all that stress its been holding.

I can help you with that, I've heard it countless times. "That's the best massage I've ever had" and that's sometimes hard to believe when clients say that.

But when you feel cared for and listen to not only your mind but your body, it lefts a tremendous weight off of you!

And thats my goal when you walk into my room, to make you feel Ed cared for, in all aspects of life.
