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.

Sign the petition: https://francegelinas.ca/remove-the-hst-from-massage-therapy-services-retirez-la-tvh-des-services-de-massotherapeutes/

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.

Posted • Everything you need to know about PLANTAR FASCIITIS REHAB🦶👇

Stretches and ankle mobility in the early stages of rehab can help play a crucial role in pain management as well as returning appropriate mobility to the ankle and foot joints. However, on top of working on stretching and mobility, we need to strengthen the muscles that help to support the plantar fascia.

Why? When we break down what the root cause of plantar fasciitis is, it’s the plantar fascia and surrounding musculature not being able to accept the load that we have placed on it. This is why many deal with symptoms of plantar fasciitis on and off for years - symptoms calm down, we walk that extra mile, and we seem to take two steps forward and 3 steps back (literally!!) This then results in microtrauma to the tissue and thus, nagging pain that can feel very limiting.

So, if this tissue isn’t tolerating the load that we are placing through it how do we truly solve our plantar fasciitis? Through progressive loading of this tissue and supporting muscles.

The above exercises are all pulled from various stages of our plantar fasciitis rehab program. If you want a progressive plan to help alleviate plantar fasciitis long term, check out our program on the Prehab app. Link in bio to check it out with a free trial!
