In Ontario

Registered Massage Therapists are educated in anatomy, physiology, pathology, kinesiology, nutrition, public health, remedial exercise, and clinical treatment.  Massage Therapists in Ontario must complete a certain number of continuing education units in order to keep our knowledge and skills up-to-date.  Since 2004, I have completed courses in Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Advanced Soft Tissue Manipulation of the Cervical (Neck) Region, Advanced Soft Tissue Manipulation of the Lumbar Region, Massage Therapy and Cancer, Neuromuscular Integration and Structural Alignment (NISA), Rhythmic Technique, and numerous Anatomy Review courses.
