On November 26, the Registered Massage Therapist Association of Ontario (RMTAO), which is the professional association of Massage Therapists in Ontario, organized a lobby day at Queen's Park. Several members of the association were asked to participate in meetings with Members of Provincial Parliament (MPP) from all political parties to discuss the benefits of massage therapy and the role that massage therapists can play in health care. Several Humber faculty members were involved in this day of advocacy for the profession. The key message was that massage therapists have a role in palliative care, chronic pain and home care, as well as the other well known benefits of massage therapy.
