Canadian Massage Therapists are some of the best trained Massage Therapists in the world with 2200 – 3000 hours of education. In Ontario the minimum is 2200 hours offered in a 3 year college program. Upon successful completion of their program and government Board exams, Therapists become registered under the "Regulated Health Professions Act" over seen by the Ministry of Health. With an extensive knowledge of anatomy, physiology, pathology, neurology, and endocrinology, Registered Massage Therapists can competently assess and treat a plethora of conditions. Massage Therapy primarily involves, but is not limited, to a hands on approach to manipulating the soft tissues of the body, including muscles, connective tissue, tendons, and ligaments.
Massage Therapists may also use stretching, and joint mobilization techniques during a treatment, and are qualified to give exercise prescription, supervised, or for home care.
Conditions can be profoundly affected by a therapeutic massage on its own or in conjunction with other treatments or modalities.
