A Registered Massage Therapist is an individual who is registered with the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario (CMTO) in accordance with the Regulated Health Professionals Act and the Massage Therapy Act. Better known for their acronym R.M.T., Registered Massage Therapists are health care professionals who have studied different theory and techniques extensively in order to provide hands on treatments to alleviate their patients pain, symptoms of injury, disease, or to promote wellness. Massage Therapy is one of the earliest tools and interventions used to alleviate pain and promote wellness in both Eastern and Western cultures. It has become an integral component of medicine to aid in restoration of pain free movement of the body.
