COVID-19 -- College of Massage Therapists of Ontario

“Updated May 29, 2020

“Ontario was previously in a situation where healthcare professionals were only allowed to provide emergency/urgent care through a government ordered closure of non-essential businesses. RMTs do not provide emergency/urgent healthcare in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, so RMTs were directed to not practice in accordance with the government order.

“The government’s order was recently updated. With the updated order (Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer of Health’s Directive #2 for Regulated Health Professionals) RMTs are now permitted to gradually restart Massage Therapy services. The Directive encourages healthcare providers to limit the number of in-person visits for the safety of healthcare providers and their patients.”

Please stay safe and take care of yourself and your loved ones. For up-to-date information on COVID-19, please visit Canada.ca/en/public-health.
