About Massage Therapy
Education
- Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) have 3 years of training, the highest standards in North America. This is required before they can deliver effective massage therapy in Burnaby and the surrounding areas.
- Mandatory continuing education and upgrading is required for RMTs who want to continue providing professional massage therapy.
- Research is limited to practice, including providing evidence-based patient education and remedial exercise.
Purpose
- RMTs go beyond providing pain-reducing massage therapy. These professionals have the necessary training to evaluate individual health needs and to provide active and passive techniques for complete patient care.
- RMTs provide an accurate assessment, differential diagnosis and prognosis of specific soft techniques for complete patient care. They make sure to share their assessment with patients to educate them about their state of health.
- When RMTs deliver effective injury management massage therapy, they act upon the muscular, nervous and circulatory systems to improve health.
Research
