About Massage Therapy
Massage Therapists are Primary Health Care Practitioners and provincially licensed by the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario. They are regulated under the Regulated Health Professions Act, the Health Care Consent Act and the Massage Therapy Act, which sets out the rules and regulations for the profession. Their scope of practice is defined as follows:
"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 tissues and joints by manipulation to develop, maintain, rehabilitate or augment physical function, or relieve pain". (Massage Therapy Act 1991)
Massage therapy consists primarily of hands-on manipulation of the soft tissues of the body, specifically, the muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments and joints.
Acting directly upon the muscular, nervous and circulatory systems to rehabilitate physical injuries and improve health.
Physical function can be developed, maintained and improved; and physical dysfunction and pain and the effects of stress can be relieved or prevented through the use of Massage Therapy.
Massage Therapists use their knowledge of anatomy and physiology to combine primarily Swedish Massage techniques, advanced techniques, appropriate hydrotherapy, remedial exercise programmes and client education programmes which act on the musculoskeletal, nervous and circulatory systems.
Massage therapy is not covered by OHIP, but many private insurance companies cover treatment from a Massage Therapist as part of their extended health care plans. Please consult your policy.
