The goal is to restore the functional abilities needed for activities of daily living, work, and sport/recreation. Initial emphasis is placed on pain reduction and optimizing healing of injured tissues; as soon as possible, the client is given active/functional exercise to promote mobility and "participation" in the treatment. An ongoing passive approach to the rehab process will foster dependence - this is discouraged. The early goals include teaching the client skills to control their pain.
A Registered Massage Therapist requires enrollment in a government- approved massage therapy school. They receive over 2200 hours of anatomical, physiological, and clinical education along with intensive practical instruction. They then pass a provincial exam and become licensed and registered under the Regulated Health Professions Act.
