A doctor’s referral is generally not required to book pediatric massage therapy with an RMT. However, if your child has a complex health history or medical condition, we may request a doctor’s note before beginning or continuing RMT treatment. Some extended health plans may also require a referral for reimbursement, so we recommend checking your individual coverage.
