Why Massage Therapy? In Ontario, RMTs are licensed with the CMTO and receive up to 2,200 hours (this equates to 2-3 continuous years) of education in orthopaedic and physiologic health sciences. We must pass a rigorous written and practical provincial registration exam before becoming a fully registered RMT. All RMTs are required to obtain annual continuing education credits to maintain registration status with the respective governing body. RMT's must have valid commercial and liability insurance covering themselves and their clients. Through legislation and regulations that have been put into place, as well as standards and policies set by the CMTO and other Colleges, regulated healthcare professionals are accountable to their regulatory College for the quality of care they provide. This is all monitored by the CMTO's Quality Assurance Program.
