What is Massage Therapy?

by Bruce Jackson, Registered Massage Therapist on May 16, 2007

Massage Therapy is a regulated healthcare profession in Ontario and is governed by the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario (CMTO). Massage therapy is defined in the Massage Therapy Act as:

“The practice of massage therapy is the assessment of the soft tissue and joints of the body and the treatment and prevention of physical dysfunction and pain of the soft tissue and joints by manipulation to develop, maintain, rehabilitate or augment physical function, or relieve pain.” (Massage Therapy Act 1991)

Massage Therapy can only be performed by a member of the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario.
