Masseuse and masseur are names that were used by some people before we became regulated by a government body. The College of Massage Therapists of Ontario (CMTO) started assigning the R.M.T. designation in 1995. Those who were members of the College at that time then became R.M.T.s. If someone does massage and calls themselves a masseuse, then they are not registered and may not be providing therapeutic massage treatments.

Masseuse and masseur are names that were used by some people before regulation under a government body. In 1994, the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario (CMTO) started assigning the R.M.T. designation. If someone does massage and calls themselves a masseuse, then they are not registered, cannot provide insurance receipts and may not be providing safe or therapeutic massage treatments.
