Only CMTBC registrants can legally use these titles or the abbreviations “RMT”, “MT”, “RMP”, and “MP” in British Columbia. In addition, anyone who is not a CMTBC registrant is prohibited not only from using the titles themselves, but also from using them even as part of a different or longer title to describe themselves or their work.

CMTBC registrants are health professionals who have met rigorous registration requirements, including post-secondary education in sciences and in clinical applications of massage therapy.  They have also passed a multi-component registration (entry to practice) examination administered by the College.

CMTBC registrants are regulated under the Health Professions Act, the Massage Therapists Regulation, and the College’s Bylaws. They are required to abide by standards of practice and standards of professional ethics, and to meet the College’s continuing competence requirements.  These and other requirements are designed to ensure that BC RMTs provide safe, ethical and effective health care to the public.

Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) in British Columbia are licensed health care professionals committed to restoring and maintaining optimal health and pain-free function of the body.     

They are educated and trained to accurately assess and treat with techniques that include massage and manual therapy, joint mobilization, and rehabilitative exercise such as stretching, strengthening, postural exercise and patient education.    

Massage Therapy is an effective approach to pain management and rehabilitation. RMTs are able to successfully treat and provide relief for a wide range of conditions such as migraine headaches, tendonitis, arthritis, osteoporosis, fibromyalgia, sports injuries, as well as many other conditions related to soft tissue and joint dysfunction.

At Anchor Health & Wellness our RMT's are motivated to provide evidenced based manual therapy. We are always learning and expanding our treatment techniques with continuing education. Many of our therapists have been practicing for over 10 years, so you can be confident you are in good hands.
