Registered Massage Therapy

Massage therapists in Ontario must complete rigorous schooling and complete provincial examinations to be registered under the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario. Demanding education trains future therapists to assess, understand and treat a limitless number of soft tissue conditions. Training includes an in-depth understanding of anatomy, physiology, pathology, biomechanics, assessment, treatment and exercise.

Massage Therapy is a manual manipulation of soft body tissues to enhance a person’s health and well-being.
