The holidays can feel pretty exhausting. If you're experiencing post-holiday exhaustion, how they can help.

It's starting to get colder out and soon the conditions outside will get more treacherous. You can prevent falls by walking like a penguin on snow and ice.

Please help by signing this petition for Massage therapy to be HST exempt.

This week, a Private Member's Bill supporting HST exemption for Ontario RMTs was introduced, a direct result of RMTAO advocacy and member efforts this past year, notably at our October 2025 Queen's Park Day.

MPP France Gélinas, the NDP Health Critic, introduced the Massage Therapy Tax Act, 2025. Under this Act, the Minister of Health is mandated to take every necessary measure, including introducing legislation, to bring the tax treatment of massage therapy services provided by Ontario RMTs into alignment with the tax treatment of services provided by other practitioners.

The Bill has already passed its first reading, marking an exciting first step. While additional readings are required for it to proceed, this early success is an important step forward, thanks to our advocacy efforts.

To increase support for the Bill as it goes through the legislative process, MPP Gélinas has created a petition to support the removal of HST from massage therapy services. We encourage you to sign this petition and share it widely with your networks to support the Bill's success.

MPP Gélinas also shared a press release today to increase awareness of and support for this issue. This would be a great resource to share to help spread the word.

This is an important and encouraging step in our efforts towards HST exemption. This was made possible due to the support of members who have continued to bring this issue forward, as well as the culmination of continuous advocacy efforts by the RMTAO.

We will provide you with updates as soon as they become available.

It's getting snowier out, which could end up as a pain in the back when it comes time to clean your driveway. ❄️ Back pain is a fairly common snow shoveling injury. Massage therapy is a great option to help relieve your back pain.

RMTs already work alongside other healthcare professionals to reduce pain, improve movement, and support better quality of life. But not everyone can access this care.

That’s why we're asking the Ontario government to support the integration of RMTs into more primary care teams so people across Ontario can benefit.

Everyone deserves access to a diverse and complete healthcare team. Let’s make care more comprehensive and more equitable.

Support healthcare for all.
