It is important to clarify that all RMTs in Ontario must be registered with the CMTO. Otherwise, they cannot practice massage therapy in Ontario.
What is a Registered Massage Therapist?
They are professionals who have received hundreds of hours of training, have passed written and practical exams, and adhere to the Law of Regulated Health Professionals, with civil liability insurance.
That is, an RMT has completed a 2 year program at a recognized school of massage therapy. For that reason, he/she is knowledgeable in physiology, anatomy, neurology, pathology, and physical evaluations.
He/she also had to pass a practice entrance exam, which ensures that he/she has the necessary competencies to offer massage therapy services effectively and safely.

What type of treatment can a Registered Massage Therapist provide?
In short, a RTM is trained to accurately assess and treat techniques including massage and manual therapy, joint mobilization, hydrotherapy, and rehabilitative exercises such as stretching, strengthening, postural exercises, and patient education.
For that reason, an RMT can relieve a wide range of conditions, such as migraine headaches, tendonitis, arthritis, osteoporosis, fibromyalgia, and sports injuries. It can also treat common conditions related to soft tissue and joint dysfunction.
Our RMTs regularly update their knowledge through continuing education credits (CEUs) to ensure they provide the best care while maintaining high standards of professionalism and ethics.
