Profession management

The Réseau des massothérapeutes professionnels du Québec performs a constant representative work alongside many authorities that could have an influence on the massage therapy’s future. The strong representativeness of the Association allows its members to have a powerful voice to uphold related issues. Some efforts were undertake jointly with different decision-making centers in order to influence the practice of massage therapy.

The status of massage therapy management is not ideal in Quebec and Mon Réseau Plus stands firm that it has to be improved. The Réseau also agrees that it would be beneficial for everyone to put efforts directly in the amelioration of the structure and conditions of massage therapy, instead of expecting the creation of a professional order, the integration in an existing order or the enactment of enabling legislation.
