Since our beginnings as a completely volunteer driven organization, we have grown to the place of providing a fully operational office and staff that can be reached during regular business hours (M-F 9-4 Mountain Time). This has allowed us to increase service to both members and prospective members and frees up our volunteers to promote the benefits of the Canadian Massage and Manual Osteopathic Therapists Association to the public and future members. Our governance Board of Directors is elected by our membership, from within our members, and is responsible for policy adoption and revision as necessary, oversight of all financial matters and oversight of all committees struck by the Board. Our association is active on several internal and external committees at the federal, provincial, and municipal levels of government. We are one of 4 associations that represent massage therapists recognized by Alberta Health and Wellness. Massage Therapists in unregulated provinces & territories who are members of the Canadian Massage and Manual Osteopathic Therapists Association are automatically recognized by health insurance companies, as we do not accept massage therapist members with less than 2200 hours of training from a recognized school, nor do we recognize experience in lieu of education. Manual Osteopathic Therapists who are members of our Association are recognized by nationwide by 21 health insurance companies, and we continue to advocate to see this recognition list grow. Our members practice nationwide in Canada from coast to coast to coast.

Diabetes affects millions of Canadians and can have a significant impact on overall health, circulation, and the nervous system. For those living with diabetes, maintaining mobility and reducing stress are essential parts of self-care.

Massage and Manual Osteopathic Therapy can play a supportive role by helping improve circulation, increase range of motion, and promote relaxation. These therapies are never a substitute for medical care, but they can be an important part of a clientโ€™s wellness plan when used alongside proper medical management.

Letโ€™s continue to raise awareness, support prevention, and encourage conversations that promote healthy living and informed care for all Canadians.

Your therapistโ€™s scope defines what theyโ€™re trained and qualified to do โ€” and it ensures that every treatment you receive is safe, effective, and evidence-informed.

A Massage Therapistโ€™s education covers anatomy, physiology, pathology, and a wide range of therapeutic techniques designed to support the bodyโ€™s natural ability to heal. Within their professional scope, Massage Therapists can:

โ€ข Assess soft tissue and joint function
โ€ข Create and implement individualized treatment plans
โ€ข Apply therapeutic techniques with the goal to relieve pain, reduce tension, and improve mobility
โ€ข Provide education and home-care strategies to support recovery and wellness
โ€ข Collaborate with other health care professionals to ensure comprehensive care

Massage Therapists cannot diagnose medical conditions, prescribe medication, or perform treatments outside their scope of practice โ€” this clear boundary protects both clients and practitioners.

Understanding your therapistโ€™s scope helps you get the most out of your treatments and trust that youโ€™re receiving care from a skilled, qualified professional.

Did you know Massage Therapy isnโ€™t just relaxation? Itโ€™s soft-tissue science.

Massage Therapy is one of the oldest health care practices in the world, with origins in ancient Egypt and China. It involves the scientific manipulation of the bodyโ€™s soft tissues โ€” including muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and skin โ€” to support healing, balance, and overall wellness.

Through skilled touch, Massage Therapists work with the bodyโ€™s muscular, skeletal, circulatory, and nervous systems to restore movement, relieve pain, improve circulation, and promote both physical and mental well-being.

Massage Therapy is considered part of an integrative health approach and can complement treatments from other professionals such as chiropractors, physiotherapists, and physicians.
