The Registered Massage Therapy (RMT) Program at Rhodes Wellness College offers a unique blend of science and the art of healing touch, preparing students for a rewarding career in holistic wellness. This comprehensive program is designed to give students a strong theoretical foundation alongside extensive hands-on practice. From the very beginning, students immerse themselves in a client-centered approach, learning essential skills such as empathy, presence, and critical thinking. Supported by trauma-informed practices and a biopsychosocial framework, graduates will be well-equipped to provide compassionate and effective care.
Our RMT program emphasizes a holistic understanding of health, incorporating anatomy, physiology, pathology, and therapeutic techniques into both online and in-person learning experiences. Through a blended format, students engage in dynamic virtual sessions that encourage collaboration and deepen their understanding, complemented by in-person clinical practice to hone their massage therapy skills. By meeting the rigorous standards set by governing bodies like the College of Massage Therapists of British Columbia (CMTBC), Rhodes graduates emerge as confident, knowledgeable, and ethical practitioners ready to succeed in the evolving field of massage therapy.

Rhodes has been an amazing experience, right from the start they were so supportive and kind. They listened and guided me and helped support me in ways no school has ever or would ever. The staff are amazing and even more so, the students in my class are just as amazing and caring. If I could give them 10 stars out of 5 I would.
